This irresponsible behavior has got to stop.<\/p>\n
Last week in Manhattan, a Navy veteran named Wesley Autrey leapt right in front of the Number 1 train, while his two daughters watched in horror.\u00a0 The train screeched to a halt, but not before five cars had passed over his body.\u00a0 Miraculously, he survived in the one-foot space under the train.\u00a0For his actions, Autrey has been rewarded with a commendation from the city, a trip to Florida and $10,000 from Donald Trump. This week Chrysler chipped in a brand new Jeep Patriot and a year of free parking.\u00a0 And why?\u00a0 Simply because, when he jumped, Autrey managed to grab and cover the body of Cameron Hollopeter – who had fallen onto the tracks when he suffered a seizure \u2013 thus saving his life.<\/p>\n
Two days later, up in the Bronx, two more New Yorkers got into this shameless \u201clocal hero\u201d business.\u00a0 Julio Gonzalez and Pedro Nevarez were standing under a fire escape when the sky started raining three-year-olds.\u00a0 Young Timothy Addo had gotten out a window on the fourth floor, climbed over the rail, and hung on for dear life for a few minutes before taking the plunge.\u00a0 Gonzalez and Nevarez heard his cry and managed to catch him before he hit the ground.\u00a0 And what did they get for their troubles? \u00a0Nothing!\u00a0 Just the thanks of a grateful city.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s catching on, even up in the sticks of New Hampshire.\u00a0 On Wednesday a driver crashed her Pontiac on Route 107 and was pinned under her car.\u00a0 Lucky for her, eight passers-by were able to lift and hold the car for several minutes until the EMT\u2019s arrived.\u00a0 But these Good Samaritans left the scene without giving their names, ensuring they\u2019ll get no reward, no press clippings, no thanks at all.<\/p>\n
