A shop owner is shot. Is he a hero?

[yk9001]

Any time a public service employee with a badge is harmed, they are labeled as heroes.  Even if it is just a cement mixer accidentally crashing into a police car.

 

A shop owner in a not-so-great part of town is shot.

If this poor shop owner dies in the line of his duty, is he a hero?  And if not, why?

Is he white?

[TobiasFunke]

I can't stand the trend of calling people "heroes" for everything

[yk9001]

Is he white?

 

 

Yeah, right.  You ever seen a white, or black, owner of a quickie mart in So Cal?   If so, call That's Incredible!

He is heroic to his family, for going to work and trying to provide for them.  The thugs never think about repercussions; it's all just GTA to them..

Thank you Tobias. You are a hero for speaking up.

Chuck is a hero for creating this website

Was his job fighting crime or selling liquor?

How about soldiers when they are killed? Heroes or not heroes? You decide.

How much do costco runs impact whether or not someone is considered a hero?

It depends on if they're re-selling the items procured. If they're only used for consumption while playing on the station Xbox... absolutely.
