Like he said "God put him in the right place at the right time"! Nothing's a coincidence and God surely uses his saints who love him. Not allah or Buddha etc...they're not God but products of satan! And those who say higher power, unless they're talking about God in Christ..their higher power is whatever sins they're a slave to. As a sinner is a slave to sin, therefore whatever they love more than God, is there higher power as they're in bondage to the sin Satan has trapped them in and which they love more than the most wonderful gift to mankind.. Christ the saviour of the very sins they love that drag them to hell at death, as the wages of sin is death, we all die and so we all receive death which is our wages. Yet, the gift of those who know and love Christ above all is the gift of eternal life after this wicked world. The unbeliever is condemned to hell where the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. And they justly deserve it for God says that everyone knows he exists as all creation declares his glory, yet they suppress his truth in unrighteousness and hate him without a cause and blame him for all the wickedness in the world such as little children having cancer, when in fact it's their very own sin that's to blame and yet they love THEIR very sin that's caused all the pain and suffering. The devil tempts, but all have free will to say "" NO" to evil temptations. We're to blame. Not God, or even the devil, Although his ending is the lake of fire and also for all who hate God who sent his only begotten son who took the torture of the cross for us! But even the cross was nothing compared to the full wrath of God which was poured out on Christ also! And eternal just torment is what you've got to look forward to when you call God a liar by not believing on his finished work of the cross which is the only possible way of salvation for all mankind that exists! May Jesus bless you and your loved ones.

Mad respect for you man, we need more people like you because this world is slowly started to accept the fact that gun violence is common and something usual, I hate how teens and even kids walk down the streets and just casually keep walking even when hearing shootings happening nearby. I've seen it myself, I was just walking passed a playground and you know kids were playing and doing everything kids do until I stopped when I heard a gunshot nearby, then followed many other gunshots and the kids all stopped ad said to each other "It must be a drive by or something..." "Yeah it might be?" And then they continue playing not realising the shooting might happen at the playground or the person shooting might come closer and put the kids in danger. It just melts my heart seeing that there are good people out there.

[@rong7676]

@Mr. Moe Here are some facts, a study from the National Crime Justice Reference System which is a government funded source looking at the issues related to crime. It states, "Children from single-parent families are more likely to have behavioral problems because they tend to lack economic security and adequate time with parents." "The Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency reports that the most reliable indicator of violent crime in a community is the proportion of fatherless families. Fathers typically offer economic stability, a role model for boys, greater household security, and reduced stress for mothers. This is especially true for families with adolescent boys, the most crime-prone cohort. Children from single-parent families are more prone than children from two-parent families to use drugs, be gang members, be expelled from school, be committed to reform institutions, and become juvenile murderers. Single parenthood inevitably reduces the amount of time a child has in interaction with someone who is attentive to the child's needs, including the provision of moral guidance and discipline. According to a 1993 Metropolitan Life Survey, "Violence in America's Public Schools," 71 percent of teachers and 90 percent of law enforcement officials state that the lack of parental supervision at home is a major factor that contributes to the violence in schools. Sixty-one percent of elementary students and 76 percent of secondary children agree with this assessment." www.ncjrs.gov/App/Publications/abstract.aspx?ID=167327

While it may be that the video was insufficient to make an informed arrest, or whether they were picked up for the crime but it wasn’t published, the point I believe, was that the escapee was indeed in great danger from the pursuers. For all we know, they could be in a sanctuary city where crime like this is allowed to run rampant. Vote demoncrat and this is what future law abiding people’s lives will be like.

What happened to raising your children! Parents stop letting your kids grow up, weeds grow up. Children need to be raised!

[@nghtwtchr9]

Margaret Gust while I understand what you’re saying, I have to disagree that having two unhappy 🙁 parents in the home would make the kids turn out any better. Look at all these kids from “good” homes who do just as bad if not worse things. Their is a lack of responsibility, a lack of accountability, and a lack of early consequences in today’s parenting. I see parents allowing behavior from toddlers because it seems funny or will get some likes on tiktok or instagram, not realizing that behavior will become problematic later as a teenager and an adult. Parents going up to school to “curse” out teachers 👩🏾‍🏫 but won’t volunteer for the PTSA. Kids in multiple after school 🏫 activities and sports 🏀 and then the parents writing ✍️ notes the next day trying to excuse the fact the kid didn’t do their homework 📚. My parents divorced when I was younger. My siblings and I saw it as a blessing because seeing your parents fight and argue constantly has negative consequences also. They were both much happier, and are happy 😃 still, having gone their own ways. The difference is that our father was still actively involved in how we were raised after the divorce. My mom was able to separate her issues with him and the fact that as our father he had the right and the responsibility to help raise us. Somethings just hit differently coming from my father than my mother but they hit the same whether he was living with us or when he moved out. The problem is that many of these kid’s fathers are not around, often because of incarceration or just not knowing how to be responsible because their dad wasn’t around or responsible. The cycle just continues. We see the effects in boys but it’s also affects girls. Many girls have babies 👶🏽 for boys with the flawed thinking 💭 it will keep him around and when it doesn’t, they’re left with the responsibility of raising the child. Before, if that was the case, there was extended family to help, not so today. My grandmothers, aunts, uncles, older cousins, and even the neighbor lady helped raise me and my parents were appreciative. Many parents now go off if another adult corrects a child’s behavior; “who are you to talk to my child, I can raise my own child, mind your own business!” Then when something happens in the neighborhood that has a negative impact on their family, they’re crying how nobody in the community wanted to get involved. Today, that sense of community responsibility for the kids 🧒🏾 in the neighborhood is missing. The idea that it takes a village to raise a child is lost. So what I’m saying is that there’s so much more to what’s going on then just not having a 2 parent family.

[@xmascookies97]

@Margaret Gust "Truth is, Nature intended for two parents, of different genders hence different experiences/views on life, raising the offspring." Excuse me, all humans experience life differently, not just genders wtf. My sister experience life the total opposite of me - she is uneducated with two kids, and Im educated. that alone is a huge difference in life experiences. Two women or two men can be just as great or even better parents than a male and a female. And single parents can be great too! I wish my mom ad divorced my dad cause he seriously fucked up my and my lil brothers life. My mom raised my older brother alone (half sibling) and he's perfect. He helps my mom with everything, not complaining at all, such a mamas boy and the best brother ever. My other half siblings on my father side - raised with two parents - they are SHIT family. They only use you for your money and tats it. So tell me again how two parents are better than one. There's ALOT of people who experience both sides, but there's no answer to how to live. If you're a decent person and a decent parent, you will most likely not be in the category of parents watching their kids go to jail. Ofcourse doesnt always go the way people want that way either, cause we live in a society where not only parents influence the kids, but also other adults and children.

@Margaret Gust lmao. Then what's the reason for children that shoot and kill their PARENTS? Hence plural .....who are you to ASSume you know anything about being black and single nor the damn outcome of the child? A single black mom down south raised triplets and ALL turned out to be doctors. I am a single mother that works to put food on the table and pay for ALL my children need; not on welfare as I'm sure you'd assume too. No ots not 14 hrs. Just because people would be in relationships does NOT mean they can raise children any better; or if they are happy. Hence why many marriages end in divorce or one parent kills the other and /or their children because they dont want the married life. Or cheating, but pretend they're happy for whom; Society. Give me a break . So who the hell are you to even think you know anything about a single parent home or a black family? People like you are unbelievable with the b.s.

Those kids were probably grown up with out parent values.

Reality check this has gone on through time. Gangs have always been around, they are not new. Even when you were young. Read/review your history. There are many fine people who come from single family homes. And bad people also come from 2 parent households.

God bless you and the kid! Thank you for stepping in.

We need more guys like this in the world!

This is the definition of a grown man who happens to be a hero. He truly saved 2 lives that day. The young man with the gun, hopefully will reflect on the great mistake he was about to make.

[@KaRiNa-pj9sb]

I want to cry this guy is a HERO! Even though he doesn't think of it, he saved that guy's life.

[@glenncalzada1707]

I hope that young man thanked this guy for saving his life.

[@fromtimetotime2365]

Just sad that they probably caught him the next days…

[@08consumer8]

exactly... guy did the right thing but those dudes were hawking the kid down broad daylight in public... they definitely caught him the next day

[@BigDr0p1]

@@08consumer8 other comments suggested that the kid has nothing to do with the streets. More than likely they were robbing the kid cuz of his backpack and laptop in hand. Which would explain the gun, if he wanted to shoot him, he would’ve but it’s just to scare

Oh well?
