Lesbian Couple's Heroism Unnoticed Amid Norway Terror

[drakonyx]

While everyone was focused on Anders Breivik's horrific actions in killing more than 70 people in Norway recently, somehow an act of great courage and compassion went virtually unnoticed. A same-sex couple saved some 40 teens from the carnage.

5. The paradox of how, in the U.S. at least, everyone in the military, all first responders are heroes.

But 2 women who actually saved lives get ignored by msm. And this isn't something against people serving in the military or being a first responder, but being in these positions does not automatically make one a "hero." These women ARE heroes by virtue of their actions - risking their own lives to save others. I like the old school definition of hero better.
