CNN's Top 10 Heroes of 2015. Leave Off Chris Mintz and Men Who Stop Train Terrorist.
10-08-2015, 11:17 AM
While looking for more information on a real hero who stopped the terrorist attack on the train heading to France (who was unfortunately stabbed last night), I found CNN's Top Ten Heroes of 2015, which includes exactly zero actual heroes in my opinion. Not only is the list light on heroes, it left off real heroes like those mentioned above, as well as Chris Mintz, who was almost killed while trying to stop the Roseburg shooter.
CNN's list includes some people doing great things to help others, and they deserve a world of respect for that, but NONE are actual heroes as far as I'm concerned.
I obviously need to go to the gym, because a CNN list shouldn't piss me off so badly, but leaving these 4 men off the list for people like "The Sloth Lady", whose "heroic" deed is "helping wild animals in the South American country of Suriname. Pool has rescued, rehabilitated and released hundreds of sloths and other mammals back to the rainforest." is, well, I guess the perfect example of how pussified our country has become. Real men doing extremely heroic things don't even get an honorable mention, while some lady who rescues sloths is in the running for the most heroic person in all of 2015? Ass-backwards.
Enough bitching, here's the article.
