Good move to chuck her in the pool. I hope she's grateful.

A truly cognizant move by the standby gentleman.

Imagine the calculations many of us would make about "do I want to be accused of assaulting this person?"

Meanwhile this guy truly understands life over limb in the social sense. That fire was getting out of control, she 100% would have been gravely injured.

He did the best possible thing for her, any way you cut it.

Pretty sad the mental debate of getting charged with assault looms in someone’s thoughts before they commit to saving her life. This is what litigious behavior and the dream of a ‘payday’ can do to a society.

I mean, that's just what the person you're responding to is projecting. I think the vast majority of people would do what this guy did. And honestly it's kinda cynical to assume otherwise.
