That's because the second he got credit for doing something heroic, everyone would start examining his tweets and try to ruin the guy's life.
Another of 'he's' flying in this thread for a person whose gender they never identified
In these days and age of self promotion and self advertising, women jumped on MeToo bandwagon to get noticed. Such a rare and precious find.
God bless that courageous human being. 🙏
With good reason too
He knows nobody is celebrated in America for being a hero. We only celebrate victims in the United States. Hence why Jussie Smollett and Bubba Wallace did what they did.
Some people return dropped wallets
Why would he? So the media, left, or right can smear him for some reason or another? No good deed goes unpunished.
Dude owes someone some money... probably me.
Everybody doesn't want the limelight. I can definitely understand & respect that. Thank God he was in the right place at the right time.
We need more news like this and definitely more people like him in this ridiculous world we are currently living in!
The thing about real heroes is that they don’t need any credit!
Our Dark Knight
We'll just say it was his guardian angel.
God Bless him...
That's what heroes do. They save lives without needing media attention for doing so.
A Guardian Angel.' 😇
God bless you for your courage, whoever you are.

Sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.
The best heros are the ones we never hear about.
Good to know it's still a few good men like me around.
They're probably scared they'll get fired, cancelled and harassed when some abusive Twitter nut finds a 10 year old tweet of theirs where they said they like a 'problematic' band or something
God Be. With. You
An anonymous hero, well that makes a nice change from all the self involved clowns recording themselves giving 20 bucks to a beggar so they can put it on youtube to show their humanity.
I'm the guy. But please 🥺 keep me anonymous! 🚶🏽♂️
Thank you , who ever you are
Let this person continue their life without the spotlight. They saw a child in danger, you don’t pull the mask off the Lone Ranger. Let it be.
We all applaud this stranger. 👏👏
