Michigan boy thwarts abduction of 8-year-old sister by shooting kidnapper with slingshot

The Blaze:
A Michigan boy is being heralded as a hero for allegedly using his slingshot to save his little sister from being abducted from their backyard, according to police.

The 8-year-old sister was reportedly hunting for mushrooms on Wednesday in the backyard of her home in Alpena, Michigan. Suddenly, a 17-year-old suspect emerged from the woods, covered the girl’s mouth, grabbed her around the waist, and attempted to drag her into the woods.

The girl’s 14-year-old brother was inside the family’s home when he witnessed the attempted abduction. The boy sprung into action by grabbing his slingshot and running outside. MORE HERE

  1. What is obviously needed is “sensible slingshot control legislation”… in 3… 2… 1…
    This child could have seriously injured the 17-year-old peace-loving abductor with such a lethal weapon. Assault slingshots should be outlawed… the story doesn’t say but I’ll bet it was a fully automatic slingshot.

  2. Put the son of a bitch down. I don’t give a flying fuck how much it offends whatever Democrat constituency, put the fucker down or he will be out and reoffending in no time. One and done, get caught attacking a kid and it’s lights out.

    Still got mine. Got it K Mart when I was about ten years old. It’s a Wham-O Powermaster. I had an adapter kit for launching arrows out of it at one time. Sure killed a lot of rabbits with it when we were kids. We mostly used glass marbles for ammo.

    I use my wrist rocket for tree removal. Tie fishing weight to fishing line and launch it up into a tall tree. Tie rope to fishing Iine. Get rope secured and take down the tree with chainsaw. Works great.

  6. We used to use the steel balls out of pachinco??? machines as ammo. I don’t know if I spelled it right and its probably not still a thing, used to be an upright pinball type thing, anyhow those steel balls ef some stuff up out of a proper wrist rocket.

  7. The essence of manhood, that ridiculous self sacrificial ability to attack a threat without hesitation to save another’s life…

    This fundamental courage to act decisively under fear and pressure is exactly what the Demonrats are trying to kill with their war on masculinity.

    Trust me, it’s one thing to plink a target in practice/training and play pretend and an absolutely different thing to preform a head shot under stress, then center mass when his sister was clear.

    Simply remarkable. This kid has SF in his blood.

  8. In some jurisdictions, the brother would be prosecuted for defending his sister. After all, he could have shot him in the leg, just like our esteemed leader believes. The 17 year old is trouble and will strike out again
