To not be scared of the height, and to be that athletic, and to be present when this happened....amazing.

I guess the man who was up there already, in the next balcony, couldn't reach the child?

I believe in the extraordinary nature of so many so-called common people. Yet it is the Trumps in the world who are revered, even though they do nothing heroic or remarkable to make the world a better place.

Trump should be forced to watch all Frank Capra and John Ford movies, with his eyes clipped open, like in Clockwork Orange. And given a sickness drug when shown videos of lying, meanness, cruelty. Maybe that would cure him.

Everytime I reply positively about a Dem or a Liberal cause at LL, I get body-slammed by an army of well-organized rw trolls. They spread pure hatred/agitprop/lies about the Democratic Party.

That guy was really carrying the mail. He looked to have slop boots on as well. Agile and brave. Right on man!

Thank goodness he was there, with his athletic abilities. Of course, it goes without saying that tRump would have done the same if he had been there. Just like he said he would rush into any school when there is an active gunman inside. He would need the assist of at least 4 real MEN to do any part of this, hoisting his fat arse up.

I was just wondering why there was nobody in the apartment who was watching the child and could have pulled him up. It's amazing the child was able to hang on for that long.
