He could have gone to jail and been deported for doing the right thing, with nothing in it for him except doing the right thing.
Can I ask you a question? Are you an idiot?
How tempting would it have been for a lot of people to just take the easy way out? I admire this mans courage & have tremendous respect for him.
A hero is someone who does something above and beyond. What this guy did was nice but he DIDN'T GO TO JAIL and he WASN'T DEPORTED. He was identified by the young Duke player and would have had to testify just the same. In fact, I would guess he was given better treatment because he did volunteer the information before trial.
There was a young soldier that threw his body over a grenade and saved his mates. He is a hero. Hero of the year 2 years later??? I think not.
I don't consider Pat Tillman a hero. I don't consider that gal that got lost and managed to her her pals killed in Iraq a hero either. Good people, certainly but hero?
Audie Murphy was a hero, Sgt. York was a hero.
If these views make me an idiot, so be it.
