A REAL Hero

I just finished listening to the 911 call from the Ronald E. McNair school. Ms. Tuff is incredible. What a courageous, intelligent and kind woman. Absolutely amazing. The fact that she was there at that time when she was supposed to have been off work speaks to a miracle.

And the 911 operator was also incredible, keeping her cool and directing operations at the same time.

Yup, she was awesome. I bet she didn't even know that she was that strong. Just went into Hero mode instantly.

She's a remarkable woman, able to maintain her composure in those circumstances.

There was another remarkable woman in Newtown, the principal who tried to stop the nut, and was killed for her bravery.

Rather than relying on a remarkable woman, I'd rather rely on a trained person with a gun.

I saw her on GMA and I was very impressed with her, too. She set a great example for anyone to follow.

She also had some training but training does not make a hero. That is character.

Did you hear how she broke down after the threat was over? She was able to keep her cool during the situation, and only when she broke down did we, even she, even know how scared she was. That's amazing performance under such conditions.

Antoinette was interviewed by Anderson Cooper last night and she met the 911 operator, Kendra McCray. The interview was incredible. Both these women are extraordinary. The sincerity of Antoinette in her concern not just for the children but also for this deranged young man (same age as her son) is what makes her such a hero. Now she is what I consider a REAL Christian.
