Patricia Legarreta and Jarell Brooks
"Jarell Brooks, the world commends you for your selfless bravery." Absolutely.
Here is the initial story posted here on FR to which this one adds the details to complete the picture.
Subsequently,
the boyfriend who fled the theater proposed to his injured girlfriend (mother of his two children) at the hospital where she was being treated for a bullet wound, so now they are engaged:
'He just looked at me and he said, 'I know this is not the time and place, but will you marry me?' And I said, 'Yes,'' Ms Legarreta told CNN host Piers Morgan.

She said yes to the boyfriend?! At that point I would have considered marrying the hero, not the coward.

Pleases me to see a young, black man.. acting with bravery and selflessness.
These days, we see so much of the other kind of behavior in the news regarding young black men.
It’s a reminder to me: Keep my predjudices in check. Treat all people with respect until they give a reason to to otherwise.

One begs to wonder if she is illegal. That would be the only logical explanation, beyond utter stupidity, or both.

1 is a hero, but the other is a COWARD. Why not say it?
Excuse me while I judge some more: here we have an obviously too-young woman (no age mentioned) having 2 kids by 2 sires (apparently) out of wedlock and still not married.
People have been asking, “who has their tiny children out like this?”
This kind.
Can’t say I’m too surprised this type of person brought her teeny kids out this late at this kind of movie. Likely selfish never mind unwise.

To walk unarmed into the line of fire to save an unknown woman and her children: that’s a man, and that’s a hero.

she is an idiot marrying that coward

When things get tough, people show their true character. One guy manned up and did what is supposed to be done. The other is an absolute p***y.

Obama should have said if I had a son he would look like Jarell Brooks, not that criminal Trayvon Martin. However if he did have a son he would probably emualate T. Martin.

He told TV cameras that when Ethan began crying, his first thought was that the gunman would come and get him, so he put his child on the floor and left the three people he loves the most to be saved by a total and complete stranger. He told them that he put the child on the floor so they could be saved by a total stranger. Incredible. God I love the writing and editing on this piece(sarcasm).
