A Hero’s Price.

Filed Under Uncategorized

What a terrible and tragic story this is. A man stabbed to death because he tried to stop two thieves.

If you saw a young woman having her handbag snatched would you be able to just stand and do nothing? Or would you do what this brave man did and give chase? Until it happens to you (which I hope it never does) there is no way of knowing quite how you would react. We are always warned that it is safer to leave the authorities to handle situations like this but sometimes this is easier said than done. After all, we are all human beings and we all act on instincts.

Now I just hope that the police manage to catch the two men responsible for this awful attack; and that it is sooner rather than later. People like this are too dangerous to be wandering around our streets. Who knows what else they might do? And next time it could turn out to be even worse.

My heart really does go out to the families of Sukhwinder Singh. He gave his life trying to help someone. It may be that he has died as a hero, but that will not make it any easier for the people he has left behind.

Sukhwinder may have acted rashly by chasing the thieves but what he did was incredibly brave. If it had just been one man that he had pursued then it would have heroic but to go after two was amazing. I wonder what our society would be like if there were more people who were so willing to help others who were in trouble. One thing is for sure, there would be a lot fewer crimes committed. If a thief had to worry about all the people who may try to catch him, then surely he would think twice.

By the way the Ski chalet holidays booking has been looked after everybody (by yours truley I may add), I am really excited about our long weekend trip. I need part of the overall cost by early next week, so everyone please pay me!
