You're a hero, Daniel Hernandez. Trust me, there are very few people I consider heroes in this world. In fact most "heroes" to me are borderline psychotics. But Daniel Hernandez, a 20 year old intern in his fifth day of internning with Rep. Gabby Giffords., did what most of us would never do (except for all those tough guys posting they'd have blown away that commie pothead Laughner with their great big concealed weapon). According to the Arizona Republic,
"Hernandez, a member of the City of Tucson Commission on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues, applied pressure to Giffords’ entry wound to stop her bleeding after checking the life signs of other victims of the shooting in Tuscon.
“First the neck, then the wrist,” he told the Republic. “I don’t even know if the gunfire had stopped.”
Hernandez said he made sure Giffords breathed property by holding her head in his lap before he taught a bystander how to use the same technique on the wounds of his boss, Ron Barber."
Without regard for his own safety, Daniel, a gay, brown, anchor baby rushed to his boss' side and saved her life. Gay, brown and anchor baby? Sarah Palin and her fans would deport this guy in a split second if given the chance. Now if he was only Islamic, the whole teabagger movement would drop like red winged blackbirds over Arkansas.
But anyway, let's hear it for Daniel Hernandez, a real hero.
