yespolkadotkitty: nildespirandum: caffiend-queen: afriendlyblackhottie:harostar: His name is Eugene Goodman. In a now-viral video, he is seen confronting White Supremacists and using himself as bait to provide cover for the evacuation of lawmakers. He was alone in a hallway when the mob reached him, and Congress was being evacuated to the left. He lured the mob away from lawmakers, drawing them in the opposite direction and up the stairs. Officer Goodman deserves recognition for his amazing bravery and selflessness. Because of him, Congress was evacuated safely and no lawmakers were assassinated on that terrible day. He risked everything to save others, and he is a hero.https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/01/eugene-goodman-capitol-police-officer-hero-video.html But remember guys. These people are racist for… reasons? This man put his life on the line to protect the vulnerable Senate offices. One man. ONE MAN was willing to risk his life to save others. ONE MAN had the presence of mind to lead these fucking assholes in the opposite direction. He deserves every good thing. He deserves a medal and a house and a pile of lobsters and a horse. Maybe not the horse, maybe he doesn’t like them. But lots of good things. I won’t forget him. Share his name, tell this story. LOUDER -- source link
