[Deuxcents]

1. This little Dude should be acknowledged for his actions and deserves to live in a safe country as all kids do

[sheshe2]

3. All this.

Thank you, Deuxcents.

[Initech]

6. Agreed, and it's absolutely insane we have to live with this shit.

Fuck guns, fuck gun nuts.

[Ford_Prefect]

17. The same with knobs on for the gun, ammunition, and weapons life-style companies who drive the whole thing.

[MLWR]

19. Yes, he should be

but I don't expect the orange abomination will do a damn thing.

[StarryNite]

2. He is a hero!

So grateful he is out of the hospital.

[sheshe2]

7. Yes, he is, StarryNite.

❤️

[Lovie777]

4. Speedy recovery................

you are a good friend and a hero.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. True hero. He has earned a medal many times over the ones tRump has/is awarding. . . . nt

[sheshe2]

9. You are right.

Under trump the awards are now meaningless.

[marble falls]

8. Think TACO will even mention him?

[sheshe2]

10. LOL....NO!

[DinahMoeHum]

11. He should keep the boy's name. . .

. . .out of his toilet mouth.

[niyad]

28. exactly. krasnov is not fit to even speak his name.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Nope. Would flag school shootings & that's last thing maga wants. As Epstein distraction would be only momentary. . . nt

[Clouds Passing]

13. A real American hero

[Cha]

14. 💙💙💙

Victor!

Mahalo, she

[MerryBlooms]

15. Maybe, just Maybe, this should be the top headline today?

[markie]

21. I want

to recommend that very thing!!!!

we need to pay attention to the good and awesome these days

[John1956PA]

31. If Kamala were President, there might have been an appearance at the SOTU speech in store for him.

[Endlessmike56]

16. That's what real heroes do

They act without expecting anything in return

[KS Toronado]

18. Liberal President would give Victor the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

tsf will never mention his name.

[sheshe2]

20. You are right, KS.

Perhaps Mark will send him a light saber. It would mean so much more than an empty medal from tsf. He has rendered them meaningless now.

[KS Toronado]

38. Spot on, they are meaningless now.

[ReRe]

22. K&R

Maybe Mark Hamill will pay Victor a visit one of these? I wish.
Bet those little boys will be bosom buddies here on out. love 'em!

[ancianita]

23. Best and happiest post of the day! Thank you, sheshe!

Heroes know no age.

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends" John 15:13

For such love for his friend, this little guy's going to heaven.

[sheshe2]

24. We all need to read something good for a change.

This one was it for me, ancianita.
❤️💙💜💚💚💛🧡🧡

[stage left]

25. Hooray for Victor!

I think I'll pass this one on. We need heroes.

[democrank]

26. What a precious child

So, so brave

[berniesandersmittens]

27. Kick and Rec for Victor!

No child should have to make such a selfless decision. This child should get the presidential medal of freedom!

[niyad]

29. Since that medal has gone to limpballs, the ghoul, and now nazi charlie,

it has no value.

Maybe a scholarship? A fund for future medical care, including emotional? Something concrete and real?

[spanone]

30. K&R

[niyad]

32. What happened to the child he was trying to shield?

[sl8]

33. He was hit in the neck with a bullet fragment:

Bullet fragment found in neck of boy who went viral for saying his friend shielded him from school shooting

Weston Halsne's father said the fragment stopped short of the 10-year-old's carotid artery, which a doctor described as a "miracle."

MINNEAPOLIS — Doctors discovered a bullet fragment in the neck of a 10-year-old boy who went viral for recounting how his friend jumped on top of him to shield him during a mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church that killed two children and injured others.

Weston Halsne, a fifth-grade student at Annunciation Catholic School, was attending Mass on Wednesday when the shooting occurred. He recounted running under a pew and covering his head while shots came through the stained-glass windows, and said his friend Victor was shot while shielding him.

[...]

But doctors later discovered it was not just gunpowder that hit the 10-year-old’s neck, but a bullet fragment as well.

Weston’s father, Grant Halsne, told NBC News that the fragment came close to — but didn’t hit — the boy’s carotid artery, which a doctor described as a “miracle.”

[niyad]

34. Thank you. May he make a full recovery.

[Scalded Nun]

35. Maybe he gets recognition further down the road

Right now you have a small child who saved another child from gun violence in a blue state.

A little too much recognition right now and I wouldn't be surprised to see ICE at his parents door.

[misanthrope]

36. Heartening news in troubled times!

A glimmer of hope.

[mdbl]

37. Must be difficult for Luke Skywalker watching the Dark Orange Emporer taking over everything.

[Trueblue Texan]

39. He is most definitely a hero!

But let's not let it get back to the gun lobbyists--they'll likely decide not just teachers, but all the students should carry weapons, as well.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

40. Just please - - keep him away from Drumph!

I salute this little hero and wish for him a complete recovery......

[North Coast Lawyer]

41. nice

People like this are the ones who need to be recognized. Not people like you know who.
