  1. http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-hermosa-beach-good-samaritan,0,5884878.story. I find this story interesting. The boy drowned underwater but managed to survive. He was laying at the bottom with no signal of life. So George Murray jumped in as he heard screams. He kept the boy alive till professional medical care arrived. He said "I almost lost him right there" which must have been nerve wrecking because he had the boys life in just about his hands. That Friday he celebrated his birthday thinking about that event. That must have been crazy!

    Well this story talks about how a man saved a women from a burning vehicle. Ralph Maser the man who saved the women said he was going to pick up his daughter until he saw the fire.When he was going to pull her out she held on to the steering wheel. so he unhooked her and dragged her out.The women's name is not mentioned but the officer said if it wasn't for him she wouldn't be alive. This must have been scary for Ralph but he did his part and saved a life that day.

    In this story it talks about how a guy saving 3 people's lives by pushing them away from the path of the truck. I find this very courageous to just risk your life instead of others. While doing so he got injured having suffered bleeding in the brain, broken bones, a dislocated shoulder and a possible ruptured spleen.Although acting as a good Samaritan he didn't get a very good deed by the law but he risked his life to save 3 people !!

I feel as though, on your story, this guy was more than helping someone else. He risk his life a bit too bc the guy was a biker and what if he had a gang? Robert Doyle could've been beat up if the biker's gang was nearby.

    I'm pretty sure you have heard about the person who saved someone else on the train tracks. He risked his life knowing the train could've hit him then and there. However, he took the risk and dove in the tracks to save another man's life. He didn't ask for anything in return. He displayed a great deal of effort into meeting the requirements as a good samaritan. This guy, I believe, deserves a MOH. He had so much to give in return of possibly losing his life.

Thankfully no one else was killed or injured severely by the fire.

  15. As doctors people might say that they dont count when it comes to the good Samaritan law. I myself believe that as people they work to save life's each day. So why not consider them? This article is about a women who suffers a hard attack while being pregnant... doctors did not know how to treat her.

    this story is about a good samaritan named Tracie Dean who caught a sex offender. Dean trusted his instinct when he saw a little girl "who the sex offender called Elizabeth" was in the middle of a gas station alone. Dean waited four or five minutes and the little girl was still alone, he went over to the girl and said"hello" the girl said hi back. After another few minutes he ask the girl if her mommy works at the gas station. At that moment the sex offender said the name Elizabeth and walked over to her. the man said to the little girl,"are you trying to find a new mommy." the little girl seemed frightened. Dean went in the store to check on her things when the little girl opened the door to the store and would not let go of it. right there he knew that the girl s not supposed to be with the man. Dean immediately took down the license plate and called 911. the police did nothing. dean spends a week calling the police and searching for missing little girl she found nothing. Dean finally goes back to thegas station an asks to look at the security tapes, as she is watching the tapes the sheriffs deputy Bryan Davis walked in. dean explains everything she witnessed to the officer and proceeded to help find the little girl and save her life. fom this sex offender

    This story is about two women that were in the Valley Village neighborhood of Los Angeles on Wednesday evening. They tried to help a driver who had crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant. Both were electrocuted and killed by a power line that had fallen into the water that was gushing from the broken hydrant. The Los Angeles Fire Department estimated the current at 4,800 volts. Witnesses said Irma Zamora, 40, ran from her car to try to help the driver, and was killed by the electric shock. A second woman was killed when she tried to help Zamora. Both were praised as heroes for their efforts.

  21. This article is about a good Samaritan helping a Ohio police officer who was being attacked by a suspect who he have stopped for having a broken back light on the car. After the officer frisked the suspect, the suspect attacked him after scaning the area. The suspect aimed for the cop's gun and the officer requested for backup on his radio. During the attack, people passed by but no one stopped except for an Ohio women. Later on, another police officer arrived on scene. This is a good story because even police officers need help from the people they protect. If it was't for the good Samaritan, this incident may not of have the same outcome. Also, at the end, the officer stated her as a hero and as a women, I was shocked because I"'ve always thought of a male when I heard the word hero, but the truth is, women are heroes as well. Also, the officer believes it was his parents who sent the women, the guardian angel. May people be blessed and protected.

    I was shocked to read that this good Samaritan was facing a jaywalking ticket even though his actions can speak for himself. This good Samaritan put himself in danger. He pushed three people out of the path of a pickup truck before getting hit himself. He faced multiple injuries such as, bleeding in the brain, broken bones, a dislocated shoulder and a possible ruptured spleen. His Selfless act wasn't as impressive to us as it might have been to the state police because once he was stable he learned that he recieved a ticket.

    Mr. Tale-Yax, was a man who came the United States to help his family financially back in Guatemala. He had much determination even after eight years. One night Mr. Tale-Yax was stabbed in the stomach for coming to a woman's aid in Jamaica, Queens. This story shows that true Samaritans do not think about their safety as much as they care about helping a person in danger. Also that lending a helping hand is one of the many instincts we humans have!
