Teens on bicycles help rescue missing 5-year-old girl - U.S. News


Two teenage boys chased a man in a car around a Pennsylvania neighborhood on their bicycles after recognizing a little girl inside who had been missing for two hours, according to police.
The young girl's family members told NBC’s Lancaster affiliate WGAL that a 5-year-old girl was playing in the front yard last week when she disappeared.
Good work on their part.

Sadly if they were in FL the sex offender could legally kill them. I wouldn't be surprised if pedos start getting trigger happy

Considering Zimmerman was exonerated under basic self defense law. He would have been acquitted nationwide.

You must get your news from MSNBC.

If you steal, do "purple drank", vandalize property and viciously assault a stranger, yeah, you are a thug. And it doesn't matter if you're black, white or green. They make up a fairly small portion of young black males, many who are raised better.

The young heros that the OP posted about...they are NOT TRAYVON. Quite honestly, they reacted far more like George Zimmerman. They were pretty lucky that the man they followed...wasn't another Trayvon Martin.
Most accurate post on this thread.

Any man of any color who risks their personal safety for the benefit of others is a hero, period.

One of the biggest problems out there today is the fact that there are so many that only see color to further their political agenda.
They viciously attack, provoke, generalize, insult, anything they can think of to create the reaction they want.

How are they any different from when the "news" outlets started gasoline fires with igniters when they couldn't get the result they wanted to film?
"It Didn't Start With Dateline NBC" (National Review 6/21/93)

Creating a scenario to get desired results isn't good science. If you can't get the results you want, it means your hypothesis is flawed and you must consider that your preconceived notions are incorrect.

Those young men risked their lives to save that young girl and deserve all the credit in the world, the melatonin content of their epidermis means nothing, their actions mean everything.

All blood is red on this planet, (unless you are a horseshoe crab), and to risk spilling it for a good cause is laudable no matter what the color of the person risking it.

If a person acts like a hero, they are a hero. If they act like a thug, they are a thug. Simple.

I think what the OP is trying to get at is this. So much negative attention towards Blacks, and a story like a Black kid saving a girl from abduction doesn't get as much attention as so much negative stuff about Blacks. I think that is that the OP was talking about.

Good thing this was not Florida. The pervert could have shot them and got away with it as "self defense". Probably could have shot the kid too if she kicked him in the shin. "My life was in danger, judge! Just look at this superficial bruise."

What a wonderful outcome that could have been sad and tragic. I hope they catch the guy because you know he'll be looking out for another child in the future.

good for them, now can you please drop this racial issue? Two young boys are heroes and it makes no difference what color they are or the color of the young child they rescued, anymore than if it was a Asian child and 2 Hispanics saved her or a native American and the little girl was black...
