Master Sergeant Buentello
There is a Marine Corps veteran and two time Purple Heart recipient that gave his life this afternoon to save two teenagers at the dam in the Bandera City Park.
A female attempted to walk across the dam (in violation of city ordinance) she was washed off and caught in the undertow. A male teenager went into the water to help her and quickly became caught as well.
The Veteran, who was in the park with his family, went into the water and managed to save both of the teenagers, but he was dragged under and drowned before rescuers could reach him.
RIP hero.

She will probably not equate to the amount of awesome bad ass this man was worth.

Wow, I feel so sorry for the family that was there to witness it. Heroic act but stupid teen girl.

He was retired! He already put his life on the line for 20+ years. Not the hero this woman deserved.
charliebrownsarcade
Tell you the truth. While I raise my hate to him and his ultimate sacrifice. If I were in his place I'd look for a rope and if I don't 1/2
charliebrownsarcade
Have any I'd just try with a branch and if I can't save her... Oh well, she ws retarded enough to walk there.

My late husband was a firefighter. He was swimming in the Colorado river and saw my sister and her friend struggling to get back to shore-

He went and got them to safety, but the under tow took him. He was a certified ocean diver, but still didn't make it.

That's tragically heroic. Can't imagine an average day at the park turning so bad

I hope that girl realizes what her dickishness cost and decides to do something valuable with her life.
VeinyFleshtTrumpet
God we can only hope.
batarnak
+1 for "dickishness". Would also accept "dickfullness", "dickitude" or "dickacity".

I try to focus on this guy's heroics, but this is an unavoidable truth.

She won't.

She probably will.

I sincerely hope his spirit/ghost haunts her and makes her do great things and not shitty things.

Maybe she didn't know and feels so horrible that she doesn't leave her room and just thinks about killing herself all day.
NotAPervert
She's a teen. It would take a negligent level of ignorance to not know.
doublekross
You don't know many teenagers.

Maybe it's fucked up that everyone all of a sudden has never made a mistake in their lives as soon as they hear shit like this on the news.
HiImSteve
Wow

I can safely say I've never made a mistake that cost someone his or her life.

Lucky lucky you
Shabooya
Have you ever thought that that's just dumb luck?
SaxonsNowRedux
Im sure most peoples mistakes dont cost lives but i see your point.
Dsmizz
Sometimes that's a matter of lucky circumstance rather than superior judgement on their parts.
ZombiesAreOkay
Yeah, but illegally crossing a dam doesn't fall in that category. It was a stupid, willful decision.
