Lucky something tragic didn't happen. OTOH, maybe we might be looking at a future Marine.

Police have no suspects in this or the other 10 armed robberies reported in Durham in the past six days, said Kammie Michael, a spokeswoman.

Durham sounds like a real garden spot. Too bad DA Nifong and cops are too busy prosecuting non-existant crimes to deal with the actual armed robberies.

LOL!

The article implies that the robbers were stoned - maybe they believed he really was a Power Ranger!

The faith of a child is a powerful force

I can't tell which is more amazing: The boy's courage, or the robbers' cowardice.

When plastic swords are outlawed, only outlaws will have plastic swords?

You can have my plastic sword when you take it from my foam enhanced muscles?

Interesting that it takes a 4-year-old boy to say what so few have the courage to do themselves.

I say this, because the politically correct answer to someone breaking into your home is to call the police and hope that they show up in time.

They might have also thought he dropped a dime on them while he was out 'morphing'.
