What Aitzaz did was simply incredible. The word hero
doesn't come close to describing him. Here's someone, a teenager no
less, whose instinct was to protect the people around him from danger,
and who acted on that instinct. He gave his life for them.
I think about the gratitude that the parents of the children at his
school must feel toward Aitzaz, and toward his family for raising a boy
who would do what he did, who would act like a man in the best sense of
the word.
All I can do is think about how small Kelly and Wildstein are, and
how for the rest of their lives they will be defined by that smallness,
by vindictiveness, and by a complete lack of empathy for their fellow
citizens and human beings.
And then I think about Aitzaz Hasan, and how his name will always
evoke humanity, and love, and sacrifice. David Wildstein, Bridget Kelly,
and Chris Christie could learn a lot from a 14-year-old about what it
means to be a human being.
