  1. What an awesome story by a loving and caring Man of God! Blessings to you and your family! Continue in the Faith my brother. You're an outstanding example for others to follow.

  2. Without even knowing why we are born and live, we live by experiencing good and bad things. And just as he didn't know the beginning, he dies without knowing the end. This may be the first and last time in a world where human life doesn't know what it is. Therefore, one person's life is important and respected. the problems facing humankind that transcend the individual must be resolved as a matter of first priority. How much more than others do you have to have, how much stronger do you have to be, and how much do you have to develop? Humans are infinitely small existences in relation to nature. I would like to see a world where people care for each other, help each other, and live the life they want.

  3. "That's the name of the game."

    Holy Shiz! Sounds like Jake barely gave it a second thought. What a hero

  4. Why isn't he labeled a looter? He broke into a school and stole food. Yet the minorities who do the same at grocery stores are labeled looters? Oh yea, muriKKKa. 😒 🤔

  5. I love that he left a note <3

  6. Shame on people turning them away. How do they sleep at night? Whats wrong with the world?

  7. Anybody can break into a school and fill it with people let’s see you do that to your own home just start loading up your front room

  8. Invite Buffalo snow storm victims to the white house in Washington,DC.

  9. You, sir, are the good in the world you speak of!

  10. Who were these awful humans who would not let him into their home during this terrible storm?? Probably Christians…..

  11. Anyone know who he is???

  12. Up Next , Man who forced his way into school arrested for breaking and entering.

  13. Now that's a champion excelsior. 📡👽🇺🇸 RUN!!!

  14. There has been so many stories of people helping people that it gives me hope for humanity

  15. Okay, but when homeless people break into buildings or steal food to survive, it's criminal? But when this white dude did it during the storm, he's a hero? America, get your values straight.

  16. THIS…needs to be turned, into a movie.

  17. Be nice if the nurse survived but she didn't.

  18. Why doesn’t the city have those large vehicles that ski lodges have that can travel through deep snow ect….. Jay so glad you helped those people

  19. What he did should be more classified as a good deed, not heroism. "Hero" is a term too broadly used now in this un heroic society. Nothing much here.

  20. Day later: Charged with Break and Enter.
