From my friend's FB page.

(102,106 posts)Kendrick Castillo is so amazing because he was so young and apparently this was just his character as well known by his friends, classmates, family.
Here's the case of the UNC-Charlotte student hero:
Howell died for his efforts, shot by the gunman he rushed. But he was the "first and foremost hero" in bringing Tuesday evening's shooting to an end, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney said.

Trump just trivialized the highest civilian award in the country to honor a serial adulterer.

(16,917 posts)it was an absurd use of an honor that used to mean something, not a payoff to golf lessons or hot tips on babes.

(3,321 posts)Tiger woods is an entitled, lying, cheapskate, adulterer, asshole, who has contempt for anyone not as gifted, athletically or competitively, as he is. He is a perfect match for trump in many ways. Scumbags hang together. Add Jack Nicklaus to this list also. Add virtually all professional golfers to this list.
I would like to see all the scumbags fall together.
Google PGA tour players that are Democrats.
I can find only (2) two, in the history of the tour.

(1,480 posts)I was bored to tears within minutes. I've never understood the attraction.
I've always felt the sport to be elitist and discriminatory. In fact, I don't really consider it a sport. I think it's more like a "gentlemen's club," where rich white men rub elbows with other rich white men and concoct their let's-get-even-richer schemes.
And of course, it has a long history of racism in the US.
I'll never be caught dead on a golf course.

(6,144 posts)I'm sure he never thought he would be known and honored all over the country.
One day he's just a school kid, hanging out with his friends.
The next he gives his life to help his schoolmates live.
There is no truer hero than that.
I have nothing personal against Tiger Woods, but Woods is not in the same league with Kendrick Castillo.
Yes, please put Riley Howell up there with Kendrick.
Man, these kids are really something aren't they.
