My hometown makes me proud
« on: July 15, 2013, 09:51:05 AM »

http://lancasteronline.com/article/local/872026_Lancaster-teen-Temar-Boggs-hailed-as-a-hero-in-5-year-old-s-abduction.html

Lancaster teen, Temar Boggs, 15, and his friends helped their community and police search for a missing girl. Found her in a car with a suspected pedophile, which caused the pedophile to dump the girl and flee. Temar Boggs and his friend Chris Garcia carried the girl back to the police.

His take on the situation?  "I'm just a normal person who did a thing that anybody else would do," he said.


Good lad, who deserves a standing ovation. Hopefully the scumbag that kidnapped the girl is caught soon.

Unfortunately we have a black kid and a hispanic kid working together to save a white girl, plus the cops involved raided no one and shot no dogs so I doubt this getting much national media attention. We got riots to promote.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

well raised young man
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Yea, Lancaster isn't always so rosy, we have roving Amish terrorists and Amish crack rings. But there's plenty of good folks too.

If I sent you the monrey, would you take him and his mother out for the best steak dinner the area has to offer?  (If he's got others at home let me know so I can pay for their dinner, too.)

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
