Put yourself in their shoes

1. A Wilbraham man made a life or death decision to stop and save the life of a complete stranger. Now he's being hailed a hero.

Davin Robinson was headed to his vacation home in Maine on Friday. On his way through Portsmouth, N.H. he spotted a man ready to jump from a bridge to his death into a river below.

Robinson pulled over and sprang into action.

“I said ‘If he’d just give me a hug,’ so he reached up to put his arms around me. Once I had him in a bear hug, I was able to pull him back over the railing,” he said.

Police have called Robinson a “hero.” The 50-year-old said he hopes that anyone in his shoes would have done the same thing.

“Turns out, he is what they say he is,” wrote Bill Plaschke in the LA Times. “He is what they shout. He is what they crave. He is what they believe. No matter how much his sleazy behavior has betrayed everything he claimed to be, Tiger Woods is still The Man.”
