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’ll regret this very soon.

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

The newly engaged couple

[Paradox]

I’d be proud to call that guy my son.

[SomeCallMeTim]

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.

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.

Jarell Brooks=hero!

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.

Related thread and story. Read the FReeper comments. This POS (Jamie Rohrs) is as big a liar and coward as the head of Occupy_WH.

Um, Ms. Legarreta, you have been given a clear sign. Ditch Rohrs immediately. Jarell Brooks is your real knight in shining armor.

H*ll, three boyfriends died as they covered their girlfriend's bodies from the bullets.

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).

Who takes little children to the cinema at midnight?

[TalBlack]

The Coward asked her to marry him because some deep circuit in his brain is flashing to him that in order to get a girl after this he will necessarily have to be someone else.

She accepted because she is not yet listening to the same circuit in her brain.

[jmaroneps37]

This is what a real selfless hero looks like. God bless you Mr. Brooks.

[ATLDiver]

Not to be a Danny Downer here but this story is sad all the way around.

1. Who in their right mind takes a small child, little lone an infant, to a midnight showing of ANY movie? That’s what babysitters are for.

2. The father in this situation is only a sperm donor, a real father would not have left his kids behind like that. Bravado aside, I would have done everything to ensure I or my child (and wife) out of harm’s way. If that meant I didn’t make it, I could make peace with that.

3. The girl better wake up and dump the father, maybe look at the hero for emotional support. The father of those two kids have already demonstrated when the going got tough, he’d leave his kids to fend for themselves. Does she think he wouldn’t do the same again?

At 19, the one on the right is a MAN. The other guy, picture further down the thread, is just a weenie.

[Starstruck]

I’m sure she has been with him long enough to know what kind of prize she’s getting.

[afraidfortherepublic]

When is the Pre’sent going to announce, “If I had a son, he’d look like Jerrel Brooks”? Now that would be somebody to be proud of. (Brooks, I mean.)
