Thankfully David Benke didn't run for his own life at the sound of gunfire. Instead he ran to it and stopped the tragedy before more than two people were shot. Whether it's school shootings or the beheading of the VT student on campus, I wonder why no one ever tries to intervene. We do live in a "me" society and we certainly are constantly lulled into believing "that's what the professionals" are for (no matter how long it takes them to show up). But if more people would stand up in heinous acts, I think we would see a lot less bloodshed.

Here's to you David Benke!
