Spaghetti Guy Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Just saw a gif of this on imgur and had to check the source videoYoutube description:A homeless man has paid with his life after he helped save a woman taken hostage by a gun-wielding man outside a church in Brazil. The gunman, Luiz Antonio da Silva, 49, was visiting the Sao Paulo Cathedral with the woman, who has not been named, on Friday when an argument erupted, Globo reports. "They entered and spent some time (in the church). They seemed to be arguing… She wanted to leave. He grabbed her arm. They then left the church and he assaulted her," cathedral security guard Joao Nascimento said. As da Silva held the terrified woman down while brandishing a pistol, Erasmo Francisco Rodrigues de Lima, 61, intervened, tackling the gunman and allowing the woman to escape. Da Silva then shoots de Lima in the chest, but the man keeps charging, before the footage abruptly ends. De Lima reportedly died at the scene, while the gunman was shot and killed by Sao Paulo police. The woman received medical attention at the scene but was not seriously hurt.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHAdgszKIV4Seeing the guy take two in the chest and still fight the guy off was crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I guess he figured he had nothing else to live for so the least he could do was try. Very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give him that he had some big ass balls to do what he did but he really isn't a hero. A hero doesn't exist it's just human nature.

Johnny Drama Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Wanting to do something and carrying that out are two different things. I might wanna rescue someone but it doesn't mean I'm going at them when they've got a gun. Even cops will tell you nothing can beat a gun.
