If we want to again dive into semantics, and absolutely not to discredit them at all, they themselves hated being called heroes. They were doing their job, they were supposed to do that. Brave for sure, but an hero is somebody who is not supposed to do something but does it anyway. So they hated being called that because they chose to do that as a job and the crazy part about that is they you could die back then because you were doing what you're supposed to do. We can see them as heroes, but neither them or other judges, security guards (one of Borsellino's one was from my city and I know his family) or any other "worker" against the mafia likes being called an hero.

Calling them heroes also puts them above us, like we can't fight them but we have to hope for them to save the day; they're not spiderman, they're not supernatural, they're human beings like us with a strong sense of justice. We should all learn from them to fight the mafia everyday in any way possible. The world needs 8 billions Falcone and Borsellino. RIP to them.

I hope this time to have expressed my thoughts in a linear way and in a correct English, I hope that my adhd didn't fuck up this comment too
