My quote was off a little, but go to 1:25 on this clip
My reply assumed the quote. He was joking. He was essentially saying hero is a silly word, it was something a man has to do.
I think he’s probably not being really serious. He played it off, at first, what he did.
Just said he helped her out but didn’t really believe it.
I think he had a lot of interviewers saying he was a “hero.”
I don’t see anything wrong with what he said, it was indeed “heroic stuff” as far as I am concerned, and I am sure he is referring to what others have said about what he did. I have seen several interviews with him so far and I can tell he has a great sense of humor and this is just who he is and how he talks. He is not really calling himself a hero as far as I see it.
The man is certainly not what most think of when they think “hero” or “knight in shining armor saving damsel in distress” but I bet he is both to Amanda Berry and the others that were captive in that house.
