Welcome to The Happy World News, I'm your host Rory Michael O'Sullivan and I have some
good news for you.
Today on the show we have a man with a trouble past transformed into a hero, A baby squirrel
saved against the odds and the town painted red for marriage equality! But before we get
into that I just want to say a huge thank you for the great reaction to last weeks episode
and for all the feedback I got. I really appreciate it!
Despite being clean and sober for two and a half years Christopher Knafelc's troubled
past often left him wondering if he was a good person. The former drug addict is now
being hailed as a hero for rescuing a man who had fallen on train tracks. Knafelc who
started turning his life around following the birth of his daughter said he was just
doing the "right thing" when he lept on the tracks knowing the train was on the way.
Jerri Williams, who spoke to Knafelc after the rescue said he seemed to have surprised
himself. Hopefully this serves as further proof that he is making right choices and
now he knows that yes, he is a good person.
On reddit a series of photos of a baby squirrel was uploaded by user nadtacular who found
the squirrel kitten in a sealed bag of mulch. On discovering the baby animal was still alive
the rescuer started caring for him, getting him to eat and grow and he documented this
with a series of photos. Today we can fortunately say the baby squirrel, named Zip, is happy
and healthy and leading a great live as a loved pet.
And lastly, in Austin, Texas, the Human Rights campaign Tuesday Together encouraged citizens
to paint the town red. Supporters of the movement wore red and changed their Facebook profiles
to a red square featuring an equals sign. Even Grumpy Cat got in on the action. The
campaign hoped to raise awareness of changing attitudes in advance of a vote on marriage
equality in the conservative state. Tuesday Together was noticed by politicians and hopefully
it will make a difference.
