Nairobi attack: Brit boy, 4, survives terror by telling crazed gunman he's "a very bad man"
The London Daily Mirror ^ | September 24, 2013 | Anthony Bond

A brave four-year-old Brit survived the Kenyan mall massacre by telling a gun-wielding terrorist that he was a "a very bad man”.

Elliott Prior, from Windsor, Berkshire, was with his mum Amber, who had been shot in the leg, when a crazed-gunman armed with an AK47 approached.

But instead of cowering from the terrorist, Elliot stood up to him as he battled to protect his mum and six-year-old sister Amelie.

As reported by The Sun, he shouted: “You’re a bad man, let us leave". Incredibly, the terrorist backed down and allowed the family to escape.

He even gave them Mars bars before saying: “Please forgive me, we are not monsters.”

Heartbreaking images showed Elliott and his mum and sister leaving the mall. Wearing an “I Love NY” T-shirt , Elliot could be seen clutching the Mars bars which had been given to him.

His film producer mum Amber, 35, had a haunted look on her face.

She also picked up two other children and pushed them outside in a shopping trolley. The family live in Nairobi and had been on a routine shop in a supermarket when the terrorists stormed the building.

Elliott’s uncle Alex Coutts, 42, said the family were incredibly lucky.

“The terrorists said if any kids were alive in the supermarket they could leave. Amber made a decision to stand up and say, ‘Yes’(continued)

Sounds like the brit govt needs to have a chat with the boy and ‘splain that he should have just accepted his fate and let the muzzie scumbag shoot him. Kid has more balls than the majority of the brit parliment.

You are genocidal monsters. And trying to salve your conscience by giving away looted Mars Bars isn't going to help.

Turn to Christ.

Yeah, but He didn’t, for dozens of other people. And scores more in Peshawar, Christians blown up in church.

The Prior family should indeed thank God that they were spared, although maybe they aren’t even believers. We can thank God for all those spared, and for those received into heaven.

But “certainly?” That’s an unthinkingly cruel and arrogant thing to say when so many were not spared loss.

You do know that you’re calling God “unthinkingly cruel and arrogant” don’t you?

God wasn’t talking to me or you or anybody but Jeremiah and Israel - Israel in a certain time. That promise doesn’t apply to all of us, or believers would never be killed by the enemy.

To quote that passage in this context is cruel - it is like parents of a teenager who survived a car crash without a scratch saying “How wonderful and mighty is our God!” when someone else’s child next to her was killed.

The Lord’s words in Jeremiah are not addressed to just anyone.

When grownups go to Africa they are risking their own lives, but I don’t think they should take chances with the lives of their children.

Inside most Muslims is a human being. Inside Islam is the evil killing humanity. The task is to kill Islam without killing all Muslims. Kill the Imams.

If that 4 year old had the wisdom to realize that he had nothing to lose by saying that, that is an amazing kid. More likely, he didn’t sense the gravity of the threat before him but I’ll give him major kudos for being a MAN at the age of 4. Wow.

CAIR is too busy high-fiving itself over this to ever denounce their heros.

You'd have better luck waiting for CAIR to denounce the 4 year old boy as an Islamophobe.

A brave four-year-old Brit . . . Elliott Prior, from Windsor, Berkshire, was with his mum Amber . . .

\ I hope brave Elliott grows up to be some form of Brit special forces. This kid can make a difference in the world by sending these people, who are pure evil and who are monsters, where they can no longer hurt decent people like his mother.
