great story! Glad to read that.
Alvin Bragg is recommending prosecution.
Sorros DA to charge kid with assault and battery with a deadly weapon...
The brother will soon be arrested for saving his sister. Pretty sure it’s illegal to use an assault slingshot to save someone from being assaulted. This could be the beginning of a protest against slingshots and their use in the commission of an assault against an assaulter! And when we all wonder how the justice system became so convoluted just remember...”elections have consequences”. Even the election of your local prosecuters.
The abductor said he wanted to take her away and severely beat her!! How evil!
Her brother was amazing with that slingshot.
liberal lawmakers will they propose laws banning slingshots now?
If it were in NYC the kid would be in jail, awaiting trial.
Good thing it was an AR “assault” Glock “automatic” slingshot. I just hope one of Michigan’s pancake mama prosecutors don’t charge the slingshot kid.
DA will prosecute slingshot boy and let the kidnapper go.
I never had a BB gun as a kid (probably a good thing) but to compensate, I got quite proficient with a slingshot. My dad never did figure out where all his 1/4” hex nuts went ;-) And speaking of that, if it became necessary to use it in self-defense, I figure a nutshot would be easier to make than an eyeshot...and have similar effectiveness.
There’s an old video on YouTube of an older man with a slingshot blasting hand tossed coins out of the air.
17 year old... slap on the wrist, he’ll be back. Maybe he’ll come up missing at some point. 200 years ago he might have been flogged into lunacy, chain ganged, or well hanged. Nowadays he will become something to fret over.
When perverts and predators are subjected to physical pain, they back off quickly. There is no nice way to deal with them.
You know a lot of these modern slingshots do come with an arm brace. I had one about 50 years ago called a Wrist Rocket. This should be looked into because these braced slingshots are made easier to pull back and aim. Some of these braces even fold allowing the slingshot to be easily concealed. These assault slingshots are also commonly sold to minors with no no questions asked or forms filled out. The boy in this situation could have easily put the assailant’s eye out which would have been horrifying.
Conservative: Great, but the boy should've grabbed a gun and shot the MFer!
Black MoeHawk huh? Could have been Bidenskyyyy. His great, great, great, great, non-binary great great grandtranny was a Black Moehawk princess.
At first read of the headline I thought: “I’ve gotta get me some of that “black mohawk” slingshot ammo.
Awesome!..... this is heroism and from a boy who’s gonna grow up as a real man!
Wonderful to read about a good boy and brother. Hope they throw the book at the would-be kidnapper.
