Human Compassion in the Face of Violence
While
Humans have an incredible capacity for violence and pain, they also can
exhibit unimaginable acts of compassion, even at time one would least expect
it. Here is an amazing series of photos, showing some of these incredible

Sad that life is like this
Great shots, John. If we were to copy the humanity of these examples instead of which uniform you wore ( like these brave people did ) how much better would our world be ? TYJM frj
I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW TOUCHED MY HEART WAS WHILE VIEWING THESE PHOTOS. THE ACTS OF LOVE AND SELF SACRIFICE DISPLAYED PROVE THAT MAN DOES WANT PEACE - NOT WAR, DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. IT IS NOT THE PEOPLE WHO INITIATE THESE WARS BUT THE SELF SERVING 'ELITISTS' WHO ARE IN CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENTS, BANKING AND WAR INDUSTRY ACROSS THE ENTIRE PLANET. IF ONLY MANKIND WOULD PUT ASIDE THEIR DIFFERENCES AND STAND TOGETHER IN CAMARADERIE AS THESE PICTURES SHOW CAN BE DONE, MOST LIKELY ALL WARS COULD BE ELIMINATED. WHAT HAS TO OCCUR IS TO REMOVE THE 'GOVERNMENTS' FORMED AND FINANCED BY THE CRIMINAL CABAL ENTERPRISES WORLDWIDE THAT MAKE BILLIONS OFF THE MANUFACTURE OF WEAPONRY AND THE LOSS OF MILLIONS OF INNOCENT LIVES. PEOPLES OF OTHER NATIONS ARE DEMONSTRATING IN THIS REGARD AND EVEN REMOVING THOSE FROM GOVERNMENTS THAT ARE SELF SERVING AND NATION DESTROYING. AMERICA, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE ALL NECESSARY STEPS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS FEAT HERE ON OUR SOIL? WHEN ARE WE GOING TO REMOVE THE CRIMINALS IN DC AND THOSE WHO DIRECT AND FINANCE HER? THIS CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION OPERATING UNDER THE FRONT NAME "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" IS NOT ONLY CAUSING THE WORLD TO HATE YOU AND ME BUT IS LITERALLY HELL BENT ON DESTROYING THE ENTIRE PLANET FOR THE SAKE OF STEALING THE WEALTH OF NATIONS AND KILLING INNOCENTS. FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL - IT LEADS BACK TO THE CABAL AND ROTHSCHILD. THEY HAVE NO HEART. THEY DON'T CARRY CHILDREN TO SAFETY NOR STAND IN THE PATH OF TANKS TO PROTECT A FALLEN SOLDIER OR CIVILIAN. WHAT WORLD DO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN? THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
