  • Badass of the Week: Wesley Autry

    Badass is some guy stopping a would-be purse thief for an old lady. Badass would be knocking a shit-starting thug who's been harassing people on a street corner all day, to the ground once and for all. This guy is way beyond badass. This guy is badass with quick-smart filling and... more

    From the page: It's hard not to respect how balls-out it was of this guy to not only jump down onto the tracks to save a kid having a seizure, but to try and squeeze himself between the tracks and the bottom of the train. He very easily could have abandoned this kid to save himself, and his plan could have just as easily failed, but yet he risked his life to try and rescue someone in need. His courage and quick-thinking not only make him a badass; They make him a hero.Wesley Autry trudged through the turnstiles of the New York City Subway, headed for another boring, routine day. He was going to drop his two daughters off with their mother and then head out to his construction job where he would be helping to build a library downtown. It was all part of the daily grind, and he didn't really think anything of it. Then, all of a sudden, as he passed onto the Subway platform he saw a young man flip out, have a fucking seizure, and collapse on the Subway platform.

    having seen this only in movies, I'd be scared to death of having enough clearance under the train to pull that off. What a brave guy! :)

    Incredible. There are probably only a handful of people in the world capable of being that courageous.

    That is a great story and a great man to risk his life for a stranger. Why haven't I heard about this yet? It seems the media is focused on the negative and not the good. This man deserves recognition comparable to Congressional Medal of Honor. He is a hero.
