Running into a burning house to save your computer will not make you a hero

Nicholas Guy, a 53-year-old man from Winona, Minnesota recently ran back into his burning house to rescue his computer. The gentleman was drunk and ignored the police when they told him to stay out. Not being able to accept that he decided to sneak back in when nobody was looking to save his PC, but sadly he was not able to make it back out and then needed assistance from the fire department.
While I am sure that this individual was not really thinking of getting his 15 minutes of fame, however that would only apply to individuals who put themselves in danger to save another life. In a case like that the brave person would usually get some small honor locally, but running inside to rescue your PC will most likely get you something on the other end of the spectrum, maybe your 15 minutes of shame.
Nicholas Guy was in turn charged with disorderly conduct and for obstructing a fire scene.
Hey we totally understand, without our computers we would most likely feel helpless and lonely, but, if you feel the desperate urge to save your computer at least do so on the way out of the burning building.
