Just another day in paradise, ooops, I mean Trumpland.

I saw a guy videotaping the rescue of a person who was trapped under rubble. He even taps a rescue worker on the shoulder and the worker gives him a look that could kill.

I think that Cooper showed genuine compassion. I think that is evident when he puts down that DV without asking someone to pick it up.

He doesn't talk he just does. A true hero doesn't do it for the glory, he does it because he can. He was there at the right time and place. Most heroes don't get lucky enough to be captured on film.

But I do think there is something to it, outsiders being the ones who do the rescuing. They are in a different state of mind than the victims of the natural disaster. (Outsider not only meaning a white man, but someone who is in a different mind set than the masses.)

I couldn't find a reference to him having children so my Hypothesis of a paternal instinct was blown completely out of the water.

For me what he did was normal in fact I would expect nothing less. I saw nothing heroic about it, to me it was just another day in paradise. Good on him.

Thanks!
