Nothing like a banzai charge to ruin a burglars day.

Is that thing on his head a result of the machete injury?

“Maybe this 11yo boy was always a sweet, shy boy, too. “

I’m thinking perhaps the boy has seen True Life episodes and realizes that since he’s seen the guys face the guy just may come back to the closet and kill him.

Eleven year olds can get mighty protective of their lives.

For good or bad, this eleven year old has learned a valuable lesson: His will to live is strong.

OK, I just read the article. It didn’t say squat about a Glock or a gun safe.

brave kid

Indeed. From the article: "He reportedly kicked the child in the stomach but the boy did not give up, swinging again at him but missing. The man again kicked the boy, and began to grab several items, including a television and a PlayStation, but fled the home without the electronics when he realized he was bleeding,"

I wonder how many of our Millennials would put up such a fight.

I was wondering, too, what the perp's plans were, after this boy had seen his face. A woman knocked on the door first, probably to find out if someone was home. So then, the perp must've broken in, knowing the boy was alone in the house (?). He didn't count on this boy, though. lol
