Anthony Borges, hero of Stoneman Douglas shooting, gets invite to FC Barcelona
FC Barcelona ^ | 3-1-2018

Anthony Borges, who played at the new Barça Academy in Lauderhill, near Fort Lauderdale, for two months in 2016, Florida, has received a club shirt signed by the first team players this week. And it’s a gesture that he most certainly deserves. For the 15-year-old of Venezuelan origin is a true hero.

Anthony received five bullet shots in the back and limbs as he helped 20 classmates to take refuge in one of the rooms while holding the door – and thanks to his gallantry the death toll, horrific as it already is, was not much higher.

Aaron Feis took a bullet to shield students with his own body.

Had he carried he and perhaps a dozen students would still be alive.

ARM THE AARONS!

I am willing to make a bet that at least some of Mr. Feis' heroism was due to growing up in a hypermasculine household.

Unlike the Hogg putz who retreated to a closet and is now using his 15 minutes of fame to push the Soros agenda.

And yet the moonbats have the audacity to complain about “toxic masculinity.”

“And yet the moonbats have the audacity to complain about “toxic masculinity.””

All these people conveniently forget that it was largely men who had fear - but laid that fear aside, who braved the gunfire and shelling on he beaches of Normandy, and fought through Africa and Europe to save the world from oppression and genocide. I don't think the left really understands what masculinity actually is. It's not looking like Hulk Hogan, or acting like ‘Don Draper’, or being an NFL linebacker, or having many sexual ‘conquests’, or pretty much being any of the stereotypes that get bandied about. Masculinity is the ability and willingness to stand up to your fears, and do what you think is right - no matter the consequences to yourself. To choose to be ‘strong’ in the face of adversity. It's not about how much you can benchpress. It's being the one who doesn't run.
