He was doing the right thing. He realized his strengths and he risked his life to protect his kids and everybody else. What he did was very risky and could have ended up bad but he successfully stopped the man and is now a hero.
I think that he is a hero. Not only did he help his children but he stayed strong and helped stop the robber. I wouldn’t have been able to be that brave or stop him.
Of course he's a hero! He saved his children from getting hurt, and then stopped the man from going anywhere else! If that would have been me, I would be frightened! I would have just called the police.
I think that Eddie is a hero. I think this because he was brave during the robbery with helping the kids. He also is a hero because he chased the robber down with no fear.
I think that Eddie is an Hero. I think that what he did for his children was very brave and I dont think anyone else would have done that, and then chase him down.
I think that he would have done what any parent would have done, I just think that he knew what to do and how to plan for it a little bit better because he was in the army. Until I was in that situation, I don't know exactly what I would have done. I can only hope that I have that much courage to not only risk my life once in front of a gun, but also chase down the robber.
Eddie Peoples is definitely a hero according to me. Although he is in the U.S. Army, what he did was really brave. I would have been too scared to chase after the robber.
I do think he was brave enough to chase the man who robbed the bank. Even though he had two kids with him I wouldn’t try to make the robber mad enough to get shot in front of two kids. Overall, he is a hero to risk his life to put the robber behind bars.
Yes, Eddie is a hero. He protected his children and stopped a bank robber. I know I probably wouldn't have the guts to do what he did, but I'd want to.
He did the right thing. I think he is a great man protecting the kids. I also think its great how he was able the robber untill the sheiff.
Yes he is a hero. I would not chase the bank robber because I wouldn’t want to get hurt. People that chase criminals can get hurt by getting short or die which isn’t very very good.
I would have protected the kids. But I would have shot the robber. That way he could not do it again and they would not have to feed him in jail.
Yes He is a Major hero. He was brave enough to save his own kids and chase the robber. That was the most inspring thing i every heard all day. I totally would like to met him in person. He's awesome in any ways.
He was doing the right thing, any parent should be able to do that for their kids! That man was putting inocent lifes at risk, and for what? its compleatly stupid. I would have done the same for my own kids, because they are the best thing for parents to have, They are what made them parents in the first place [:
I believe that he was doing the right thing, but not a hero. This is something that I think that every person believes they can do, but this man stood up and did it. I think in the general sense of the term hero he is, but in all he's just an ordinary man who did what any of us would've done in that situation.
I commend him on what he did. I don't think that I would have had the courage to do what he did. I am very glad that there are people like him out there.
He was risking his own life to stop a bank robber. He did the right thing by stopping him. He also put his life before his kids life.
Yes I do think he's a hero. He had the encouraged to save the kids. I think a hero is a person that has the encourage to do something that other people don't have the encourage to do.
He did the right thing. He saved his kids too. What he did was life threatening.

I think he was very brave to do what he did. He did do the right thing to protect his children. But when he stopped the man from leaving he showed curagious amount of bravery.
Eddie took the riskiest but best actions possible in a situation like that and used them to protect what means most to him. He stood his ground for the love of his kids and for the sake of lives surrounding himself. And chasing him down was sometimg I didn't really see coming. What a hero
I think you could call him a hero he saved his kids and stopped the robber sounds like a hero to me. He protected his kids and everyone else in the bank. He didn’t have to chase the robber but choose to. I can't say I would have chased the robber but yes, I would have definitely protected my kids and anyone else if I could. I probably would have got the license plate number though and turned it in and done everything I could to help the police but no I would not have chased him. Sorry.
I probaly would not have done the saem things he did. I probably would have let him go, simply because I know the police would find him eventually and they would know the punishment suitable for him. Another reason is because I have never been faced with this situation so I wouldn't know how to handle it.
In my eyes i see this man a hero, he could have just sat there knowing he could have stopped him but instead he took action. There is no way in this world i would have chased after a man with a gun who just robbed a bank.
There are so many things that I can say about Eddie Peoples. He's brave because he stood up to the robber to stop him from taking the money, He's sharp because he was able to get the robber in custody until the actual police arrived, and on top of this he is compassionate because he put his kid's safety before his and made a barrier of furniture to protect them just in case they were shot at. Eddie Peoples is a man of honor and dignity, unlike the man who aimed the gun at the children. What could those children possibly do to a man three times their size? That made the man look even worse apart from the fact that he was robbing the bank. Anyone can see that Eddie has more courage than most people do because of his action to save both his own children and the bank's money. Eddie was very courageous for using his rank in the military to stop the robber from taking the money. I know for a fact that I wouldn't be able to find enough courage to stop him. But if I did have children, I would've done the same thing for them as Eddie did for his own. I'd definitely risk my own life to save my children's lives. So I give Eddie Peoples my respect for doing what I couldn't with that cruel and unlawful man.
