Little Boys CAN Be Heroes. With newslink

In THIS THREAD I told you about a little boy who picked up a plastic sword, & ran to defend his family from 2 men armed with guns.
Today, another brave boy defended a group of children from a wild animal.

Damn.

OK, so it’s glurge.

But that kid loves his brother.

Sixty pounds seems kind of heavy for a five year old…or is that just me? (The sites that I looked at gave thirty to fifty as normal.) Then again, maybe he’s a lot bigger than most five year olds and that’s why he was able to restrain the animal.

And people bitch about violence in kids TV.

It makes heroes goddamit!

The difference is due to the size of his stones.

CNN has a video of the boy talking and it’s hard to tell if he’s big for his age.

Some kids are just bigger. My son is tall for his age, and already weighs 40 lbs at 3 and a half.

Good kid!

Huzzah!

Bravo. salutes little kid and awards medal of honour

Exactly what I thought: 31 pound kid, plus two 15-pound bowling balls in his shorts.

The up side of the obesity epidemic: wrestling wildlife.
