4chan saved someones life

[Section Crow]

more of a cat person but hey good story

nice to see the internet people of the world are looking out for each other

I brought this up to my boyfriend and he said he wasn't surprised... he was once a oldfag you see and understands the mentality of that place better then I. The vast majority of anonymous are good souled people who believe they are fighting a noble cause. Giving money when needed to each other is just another good cause for them.

Now I still think they are nothing more then trolls myself, but even trolls can be good in soul.

I would throw him money myself, but hell I am counting pennies to get to work....

So 4chan is like God, it has power to give life, and to destroy it ?

trolololo.

4chans deadly

 

[dancinginfernal]

For every 10 pedophilia stories off /b/ there's one of these.

Way to go, 4Chan.

 

[SodaDew]

So this means 4chan is more then a force for evil, it CAN be used for good! Such a nice story

 

[gamefreakbsp]

Interesting story. Maybe a little over dramatic though.

 

[Cookiegerard]

Maybe it is just my natural paranoid state, but for some reason I don't beleive that... I don't know why, but I just don't.....

EDIT1: Having thought about 1)Why did he not sell the camara? 2)How did he afford internet connection? (Possible it was free wifi, or was using someone else's) 3) If he did not have money, why the hell did he not go out and try and find a job instead of sitting at his computer looking at 4chan?!

I...am...speechless...is this a omen that times are changing, or is this just a seasonal thing.
But i will admit that was a very generous thing 4chan did there.

i bet its a seasonal thing, ether way :3 good on those two for helping out,

 

[Azure-Supernova]

I'm feeling kinda fuzzy inside :3

 

[Dfskelleton]

I never thought 4chan was ALL bad people, and this just proves it.
That was really awesome of them.

 

[Hollock]

The story about William J. Lashua is a better example of how kind 4chan can be

Story in a nutshell: old veteran looks for people for his birthday party, anonymous answers.

Dude...that is beautiful beyond fucking belief. I'll embed it, because that deserves more views:
All in all, Anon's still made up out of simple human beings, and it shows.

This reminds me of that time when someone had over $3000 debt and couldnt pay it back. Then along came a guy on 4Chan, who payed every single penny for him.

These kinds of storys are amazing.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

yeah 4chan mostly has a bad wrap and often times its well deserved but hell even 4chan is capable of doing good and this is just one example as proof

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

How DO they find the time amidst....you know... Waging war with Paypal and (intermittently) the US government.

 

[The Afrodactyl]

What a nice person. This sort of thing restores my faith in humanity.

Well done, Anon; you're a great person

Apologies for the double post, but this made me smile. My outlook on 4chan is forever changed for the better
