Heroic or reckless?
Both.
Thank God no one died in the fire that Newark Mayor Cory Booker ran into last night. There is no doubt in my mind, nor apparently in Booker’s based upon his remarks this morning, that Devine Intervention was a play.
God was looking out for Booker and for his neighbor who was trapped in the fire. He was looking out for Booker’s security detail. For their lives, their families and their careers.
Had Booker perished in the fire last night, it wouldn’t be long before his security detail was scape goated by the press and/or by ambitious politicians looking to fill the void.
Heroism in the face of grave danger is by its nature reckless. Thank God tragedy was averted in Newark last night.

Kudos to Cory Booker – most politicians would probably run the other way …or set the fire with their incendiary and inflammatory remarks.
Definitely a hat tip to Mayor Booker.
Definitely Heroic, but I would ask; wasn’t Booker’s security near by; and could they have helped, did they help?
Not sure on the latter.
The reports I have heard indicate that his security team did help. As far as I know none of them are trained firefighters. My vote, heroic.
While this is all well and good, it is clearly being overblown to give Booker some positive press. The fact is – Booker has been a bigger bust than Mark Sanchez. Not only is Newark more dangerous and corrupt than ever, Booker has completely bungled the $100 million from Mark Zuckerberg and has picked a fight with the single most benevolent, valuable business in that hellhole – the NJ Devils. He is an articulate failure who is just digging a deeper hole for Newark, and causing more tax dollars to be dumped into it just to keep it afloat.
