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.
