Saying he's not a hero is mocking him? people have different thoughts of what it is to be a hero.

Totally agree with u. Though ppl can express their thoughts and opinions i am against the page. Jordan, if the facts r correct, is a hero no doubt.

To state he is not a hero is not disrespectful as what it is to be a hero is subjective. However many comments on said page from both sides of the argument are.

It's not disgraceful , people have the right to express their opinion on the matter .
That right was given to them the moment your media told the little boy's story .
On a personal note , I agreed with that page .
The men who risked their lives to save them were and are heroes .
Risking or even giving your life to save a loved one isn't heroic , it's natural .
Related - The miners who were holed up in Chile a while back are not heroes either .
The people who saved them , are .

While we have free speech and people are entitled to say what they want, I feel that this time a little a little decency and human sympathy would go a long way. The poor boy's family is grieving, they lost their mother and their brother, I can't imagine how they must feel right, especially his brother; the least you can do is show compassion - imagine if you were in their situation and saw pages like that. Jordan gave his life so his brother could be saved, that's the most heroic thing you can do for someone. I usually laugh at trolls but in this case it's just not funny, it's just pathetic and rude.
