Would you rather just let the kid be at the whim of the intruder? How much sympathy should a kid be expected to give to someone who broke into his home?
This could have easily turned into a barricaded suspect with a hostage.
Mocking someone who is bleeding out in front of you is literal psychopath behavior.
Breaking into a house and threatening a child is pyschopath behavior.
The kid is 11, he is going to need a long time to process what has happen. There was adrenaline pumping, genuine risk to his life and a culture of self defense. Did you expect him to suddenly grab a medkit and approach someone larger and older than him who may not be fully incapacitated and already threatened him?
I don't expect a kid to do much of anything after shooting a person, intruder or not, not mock them for being in pain of a literal bullet wound.
Granted if the parents taught him how to use a firearm they should also have taught him how to use a medical pack because accidents can and do happen with firearms and he should be able to patch up himself or someone else if an accident does happen.
The hell? Do not approach an intruder, get safe and get the police there, in that order.
No civilian should be approaching a wounder intruder. They could have a concealed weapon like a knife or a gun.
When the intruder broke in, they probably had a tough guy attitude and that attitude changed real quick when they felt pain.
Lol if someone breaks into my home the last thing I'm going to reach out for is a medkit.
Context is everything and you don’t have any. I’d be mocking the meth head who tried to kill 11 year old me as well. This kid is a hero.
Speak however you like to someone who just tried to kill you.
Have empathy for all
I can emphatically understand how they feel, doesn't mean I'm their bud.
Sounds very sheltered of you.
He survived. He was shot in the leg and got treatment in the hospital. The child did not stand over him while he was bleeding out. That part was a joke made by someone responding to the article.
RIP to the teachers who had to put up with you
That is just a super mean thing to say. There's another person at the other end of the computers.
Maybe if he hadn't said something idiotic and then belligerently doubled down, people wouldn't figure that he must have been an insufferable child who gave his teachers headaches by being obstinate over nothing every day. With an attitude like his I reckon he probably fought tooth and nail against accepting PEMDAS. He should have been more considerate to people at the other end of the computers by not pinching off stupid ideas, but when he voluntarily chose to, he chose to accept criticism of it. I'm not being mean, I'm giving him what he asked for. If I wanted to be mean, I'd say that if I ever decide to kill myself I'll climb up to his number of chromosomes and jump down to his IQ, but I don't, so I won't say that.
There's a huge difference between defending yourself and mocking a person you just hurt.
The kid is 11, they probably don't think much about the bigger picture in situations like this and hes probably just proud he's alive and wanted to be funny cause hes on camera. I'd probably rub the bad idea in their face a bit to if someone broke into my home and threatened my family.
It isn't like this kid just assaulted a random guy, there was a genuine threat here.
do you think getting insulted really hurt the intruder more than the bullet?
Engrish hard.
No person got hurt here.
Based take, criminals are not people
A bloody body should trigger horror and disgust.
Your brain is pretty good at ignoring those kinds of reactions when adrenaline is pumping and you are worried about your own safety. Same reason people who are typically nonviolent can throw a good punch if assaulted. We are still animals and we have fight or flight instincts that trigger fast.
These people lead boring lives and never felt the effects of adrenalin.
why? what benifit is there to being disgusted and horrified?
Surgeons would disagree.
Unless, of course, this kid has access to television.
