Can't we all just get along? Or at least pretend...?

He was in his room playing video games in Alpena Township, Michigan when he heard his 8-year-old sister scream outside. The first time, he figured she was just messing around with friends. The second scream made him look out the window.
Owen Burns is 13 years old. His dad Andrew had taken him to the range, practiced with him on his BB gun, and worked with him on his aim over the years. The slingshot was something they had picked up just to play with. Owen was not supposed to use it inside the house because he had a habit of breaking things with it. None of that crossed his mind on May 10th.
What he saw through the window was a 17-year-old boy who had come out of the woods and grabbed his sister, covering her mouth, pulling her toward the trees. Owen grabbed the slingshot, loaded a marble, and fired from the window. He hit the attacker in the head. Then he loaded a gravel rock and fired again. He hit him in the chest. His sister broke free and ran. The attacker fled into the neighborhood, where police later found him hiding at a nearby gas station, still carrying the injuries from the slingshot.
Michigan State Police said those exact wounds helped them identify and build the case against the suspect. The 17-year-old was charged with attempted kidnapping, attempted assault with intent to do great bodily harm, and assault and battery. Police said what Owen did was extraordinary and that he should be commended. His mom Margaret said she was just glad he picked it up when he did.
When a reporter asked Owen how he managed to hit the target twice under that kind of pressure, he kept it short. He said the guy was just a big target. Not like one Pepsi can.
What do you think made Owen act instead of freeze in a moment that most adults would not be ready for?

@TTaylor0420 @migul16194434 @xikerfighter Hope none of those poor monkey children ever need a bone marrow transplant, and they actually have genetics closer to modern humans than Chimps, and apes. Poor little niglets

@TheLaurenChen You always make sure to capitalise Asian but never White, why is that?

If you are Asian, just know that DEI initiatives ACTIVELY discriminate against you, just like they do for white people.
DEI isn't about encouraging diversity, it's about punishing success and competence.

@TheLaurenChen America would literally be paradise if only White and Oriental people lived here.
