These things unfortunately happen yet somehow they continue to do what they do in the face of the tragic events they've witnessed.
I was at a high school hockey game a few years back when a puck struck a player in the chest and the situation was very similar to what happened the other night. EMT's came onto the ice. The young kid was motionless. His parents rushed down onto the ice. It was terrible. No one knew what had happened when he was rushed out of the rink only that it looked potentially life threatening. And yet somehow that game continued and the 15-17 year old kids that had to witness that went on to finish the game.
OMG! It’s come to this. Comparing fallen police and firemen, who work tirelessly to protect the public, as that’s their job. They can’t ignore a house on fire. They can’t ignore someone being shot at. They have to go back to work.
Honoring a football player who nearly lost his life, on the field, is not life or death.
We have officially crossed over into crazy town!
