Unforgettable picture

Summary:
Patrick Hutchinson carrying an injured white man to safety during protests in London because he didn’t want reason for the protests to be lost in one moment of violence.   A courageous act. And courage is not anything very common, and the value we put on it is a witness to its rarity. Courage is to do the right thing in spite of danger and fear. To keep on even if opportunities to turn back are given. Like in the great stories. The ones where people have lots of chances of turning back — but don’t.
