Today's "Good person of the week" is really about 2 heroes. One faced a mob and saved many lives, and the other saw the criminal behavior of her own mother and turned her in.
GOOD PERSON #1 It takes a LOT of courage to face an angry mob yielding weapons, especially when you're only one man. That's what Quick-thinking Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman did during the Insurrection at the Capitol Building last week. The CBS Video is below. He is a true American. He is a hero (not the criminals who invaded the Capitol)
GOOD PERSON #2 It takes a lot of courage to turn in your own mother for criminal behavior. But that's exactly what happened when a lesbian daughter in Massachusetts did when she learned her mother took part in the criminal insurrection at the Capitol this month. Bravo to the daughter! Help this hero afford college by donating to her college fund. She's a whole lot smarter than her stupid, criminal of a mother. (and there's a side note and story at the end, about the rioters admitting they planned to capture and kill politicians on Capitol Hill) HERE are the Stories:
#1 How a lone Capitol Police officer lured rioters away from the Senate chambers
A US Capitol Police officer bounded up the stairs of the Capitol building, a growing mob of insurrectionists behind him. Using himself as "bait," he lured the rioters away from the entrance to the Senate chambers, where lawmakers were still debating an objection to Arizona's Electoral College vote count.
That man is Officer Eugene Goodman. Footage from Wednesday's attack on the Capitol shows him leading the mob of Trump supporters in the opposite direction of the Senate chambers after he noticed it was unguarded.
Officer Eugene Goodman herded the rioters away from the Senate Chambers at 2:14 p.m. Senators were alerted that protesters had breached the Capitol building just one minute earlier, according to CNN's timeline of events from Wednesday's riot. Vice President Mike Pence wouldn't be evacuated from the Senate until 2:30 p.m.

#2 DAUGHTER EXPOSES HER RIGHT-WING MOTHER AT CAPITOL INSURRECTION
Helena Duke identified her mother, Therese Duke, her aunt Annie Lorenz, and her uncle Richard Lorenz in the clip as those included in a group of Trump supporters confronting a Black woman.
“Hi this is the liberal lesbian of the family who has been kicked out multiple times for her views and for going to BLM protests to care what happens to me,” Helena Duke tweeted on Thursday before naming her family members. Helena Duke seized the opportunity to shame her mother, who she claims is a long-standing Trump supporter. "Her actions were appalling and I did not think she could possibly stoop this low," the 18-year-old told Newsweek. "I do find her participation in the insurrection extremely hypocritical as she has kicked me out of the house for attending BLM protests."
A LinkedIn profile for Therese Duke marks UMass Memorial Health Care as her employer, and Helena Duke also confirmed in Twitter replies that her mom worked for the medical center. “Over the past 24 hours we have received numerous expressions of concern through social media regarding a UMass Memorial caregiver who may have been involved in this week’s violent events at the nation’s capitol,” the provider wrote. “The employee in question is no longer a part of our organization.”

SIDE NOTE: CAPITOL RIOTERS MEANT 'TO CAPTURE AND ASSASSINATE' Federal prosecutors offered an ominous new assessment of last week’s siege of the U.S. Capitol, saying in a court filing that rioters intended “to capture and assassinate elected officials.” The filing asks a judge to detain Jacob Chansley, the Arizona man and QAnon conspiracy theorist who was famously photographed wearing horns. This comes alongside the arrest of a retired firefighter amid allegations that he threw a fire extinguisher at U.S. Capitol Police officers. (Source; Huff.Post)
