He gave it for his opinion, that whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together.

That twelve year old is well on the way to becoming a Man. Bravo Zulu!! And rightfully so, Momma must be very grateful for him and very proud of him
Good for the young boy, hopefully they will get him some counselling to ensure that he knows he did the right thing and will have no worries about it in the future.
Wonder what those folks in Austin were doing in the alley on 1st street to warrant someone firing all those bullets? You suppose they did not have their masks on?!
We need some laws to keep those assault vehicles off the streets! We need to ensure no one that is not dually registered, investigated, and who pays a random fee on at least a yearly basis is able to drive such a deadly piece of equipment. The founding persons did not say this was a constitutional right and therefore we must protect ourselves from such proliferation!…Oh,…wait…my bad, we already do that: Drivers License, Registrations, and mandatory insurance for the privilege (not a right)! At least it wasn’t Georgia.
