[Stand Watch Listen]

Forget Oregon’s Gunman. Remember the Hero Who Charged Straight at Him.

Worth Repeating:

“I will not give him the credit he probably sought,” Hanlin said of the killer. “You will never hear me use his name.”

The coroner will be obliged to issue an official identification, and news organizations will be obliged to report it.

But if you hear it, forget that Chris in that very instant.

Think of Chris Mintz, who was shot while rushing a killer on his son’s sixth birthday.

Forget the zero and remember the hero.

Also remember those two brave cops and the others who showed uncommon courage.

True, but in this age of extreme communications, the names of heros and villians will always come out.
