Way to go people!

Sweet, it's good to hear about those with the courage to stand up and do what's right. I've always known they're out there, but this is a great story to hear about.
It doesn't change my base beliefs about the religion, but it's good to know there's courageous people out there on all sides of the fence. Unfortunately, I don't think their presence will deter would-be murderers, so these people *truly* are putting themselves in harms way. I applaud them.
