95 Year Old World War 2 Veteran Takes 4 Buses to Attend a March to Support the Christchurch Victims

Today, John Sato, a 95 year old World War 2 veteran in New Zealand, traveled 12 miles on 4 buses in order to attend a memorial service for the people who died in the Christcurch mosque shooting, and then took part in an anti-racism march.

"I think it is such a tragedy, and yet…it has brought people together. It doesn't matter what their race or anything. People, they suddenly realize we're all one. We care for each other," he told Radio New Zealand.

"Policeman took me all the way home, waited down there until he saw me getting up the stairs. The tragedy in Christchurch, look at what it brought out in people. It shows the best of humanity," he told Radio New Zealand.

In a world where the bad guys seem to get all the attention, let's give the spotlight to a hero for a change.

Nice to see an old white dude who isn't super conservative for a change.

what suggests he's not conservative..?

I second this question. I don't see why being anti-racism automatically means he's not conservative. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.

a common thing leftists believe. Which they then use to shutdown conversation.

Super conservative = racist usually.

@ourmanuel: that's a no my friend. The media wants you to think that way.

Based on what...?

It's sad that conservatism is even being mentioned in this thread.

@redhood_jaytodd: I was just chiming in on the other posts. Has nothing to do with the old due.

Well this thread took a fun turn, anyway seems like a great guy

Lazy bastard should've walked

Taking a bus was bad, the CO2 emissions contribute to global warming so this guy isn’t as great as some might think.

When I say "super conservative" I mean extreme right wing ultra racist.

This man is the kind of example people should follow. Cheers to him.

why does being "extreme right wing" also mean you are ultra racist? That is what i am asking.
