God Bless both these siblings, happy to know they're both safe! Great job big brother!
Well done lad!
Brilliant, quick thinking young man. So glad for his sister thst he was there for her. He did not need a gun, just a slingshot. Interesting…
David and Goliath
If it was father bear at that incident, the intruder/kidnapper would be six feet under! Congrats to the brother!
Fantastic older brother! BRAVO!!!!!!🥇🏆
Good boy. King David will be proud.
My brother would’ve never done that
Nice to finally hear a good guy with a gun story!
NBC actually putting out a good news story is crazier than this slingshot save
Mason Gamble would be proud. He played the titular Dennis the Menace in the 1993 film of the same name.
So proud of the older brother!
Cops probably took slingshot away for evidence. 😂😂 Good job little bro!
Good for the young man, how smart is he! 🇨🇦
Rock Star brother!! Good thing he practiced! I really hope they put the attacker in prison for a long time otherwise he will do it again and probably be successful. Sadly they usually don't put these vio!ent predators away for long, just the nonviolent drug users.
I'm going to get a slingshot.
He should run for sheriff
The 17yo is not fit to live in society. He's a danger.
In New Jersey, slingshots are illegal
Just to pick at the many scabs of tru – anon here in Kanada, the Crown prosecution would be seriously considering laying charges against the good brother.
I am saddened this happened to the girl and overjoyed big bro put his pants on and handled this like a man. I would buy him a Saunders extended fork slongshot in a Hollywood minute.
nice job little guy!
This kid looking like James Mccloud in AFIS.
😮 this guy is like a ninja 🥷
How many weapons charges is Attorney General Dana Nessel, going to bring against the young man defending his sister?
Thank you Dennis
that 14 year old knows how to deal with a threat one to the chest and one to the head slingshot or not will get it done. great job young man!
