    He’s a hero. Doesn’t matter that it ended up being largely ignored by the public. He was motivated by doing good and sacrificed himself for it. That’s the definition of a hero. A former coworker said “who’s Edward Snowden?” when he came up. From that moment on, I judged her a moron, and that turned out to be a correct judgement.
