Two recent heros in Indiana. Good stuff.

True. Indiana seems to be showing the importance of raw courage even when you have nothing to work with but your own bravery, and the skill of ordinary people when they have to save the day. Mr. Bostic ran right into a burning building twice with nothing more to protect him than his own courage.

Elisjsha Dicken, a young man who thankfully had a firearm with him, stopped a terrorist attempting mass murder in less than one minute. According to news media reports he fired ten shots at the terrorist, starting at 40 yards, closing as he fired, and eight of his ten shots hit the terrorist.

That's a great example of the skill of ordinary people. Unlike the 366 "trained" federal, state, and local law enforcement offices in Uvalde who failed to even confront a murderous terrorist for 70 minutes, Mr. Dicken using what his grandfather taught him ended the terrorist's attack in 15 seconds.
