Julio Diaz is my Hero

A friend sent me a link to this fantastic story about a man in Brooklyn who befriended a mugger.

I think some people would want to use the term "heart-warming" but that is too cute and vastly underestimates the impact that a revolutionary act like this can have. Not only can we see the image of the divine on Julio Diaz because of his actions, but I think he was motivated for the same reason - he saw the image of the divine on this desperate mugger.
