Look at this kid! He performed the Heimlich on a kid, then saved elderly woman from burning house!

1. future firefighter?

freaking awesome

[Irish_Dem]

20. They should make him a volunteer cadet now.

Some departments have that program and it works out well.

[Skittles]

25. cool

that would be a good way for someone to see if they actually are a fit for the job pretty quickly

[Irish_Dem]

28. Yes I know a young man who did that program and loved it.

He went on to become a firefighter and EMT.

What an amazing child, not to mention an amazing human being. He has already done his part for this lifetime.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. I kept up my CPR certification for more years than this child has been on this earth

And I've never had the occasion to use it once - yet he saved 2 lives in the same day!

[smirkymonkey]

11. You just never know when "God" or "The Universe" is going to call you up for your skills.

But it's important to have them just in case!

[Rhiannon12866]

15. I should probably make the effort to recertify. They change the procedures over the years.

And you're right, you never know!

However I did have one pleasant surprise today. Wednesday is my day to run errands and I've been bringing groceries to my agoraphobic brother for awhile. He only leaves the house if he really has to, so he figured he wouldn't be affected by this pandemic. It took me awhile, but I finally convinced him to get vaccinated when they started accepting walk-ins in the old Sears store at the nearby local mall. I even showed up and took him, he got Pfizer shot #2 in May. But he drew the line at a third shot, kept asking me how many more he'd have to get. *sigh*

But when I stopped by tonight, he showed me his card - he went out to get his prescription filled within the week (he goes through the drive-thru) and noticed that the mall vaccination site is open and accepting walk-ins again (they have lighted signs out by the road) - so he stopped at the place he already knew and got his booster! Made my week!

18. Awww! I am so happy for you and your brother!

That really brought a smile to my face and warmed my heart! Thanks for letting us know the good news, Rhiannon! I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Charming Festivus, etc...

All the best to you!

12. Mine is long expired, unfortunately.

I never had occasion to use it, either.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. So has mine, but I don't think that's something you forget.

So you could probably step up if you really had to. My concern is that they change the procedures over the years, they learn more about what's needed/most effective. I know it's changed quite a bit since it was first being taught, the teacher of my first class had taught it for years. Then I took the opportunity to get recertified regularly when it was offered where I worked. I'm guessing that we'd only have to take one class.

3. Not all heroes wear capes.

[DFW]

4. Republicans, on the other hand

They pack a convention hall and cheer an underage double murderer.

You can’t ask for a greater contrast than that, can you?

[Grasswire2]

6. Some on twitter are urging Joe to invite this kid to the WH.

I hope it happens.

[ShazzieB]

13. Oh, I SO hope that happens!

[Grokenstein]

8. No worries, I'm sure FOXHenhouse is rummaging through Dayvon's life right now

looking for something to point at and shriek about.

[Irish_Dem]

21. Same thoughts here. They idolize a child who is a cold blooded killer.

We respect and admire a child who saves lives and does the right thing.

[MagickMuffin]

23. It's as plain as black and white

republicans are always fearful.


One killed two people, One SAVED two people.

5. If you're going to have a hero

This is the guy.

Not some shmuck like Kyle Rittenhouse, who took two lives.

I particularly like belle’s comment above.

[LoisB]

7. He sure was everywhere he was supposed to be that day.

[dchill]

14. Makes Elon seem inadequate, somehow.

27. well said, well said nt

[Sanity Claws]

19. Get him a cape!

All superheros wear capes.

[Nay]

22. He wants to be an EMT when he grows up -- I think he ought to be an emergency room doc!

[mopinko]

24. i dont know why but

i had a feeling this kid was black before i looked.
is it just me, or are so many of these great kids non-white?

[malaise]

26. This is wonderful but this kid needs both

an hour exercise program and a diet or the only things he’s heading for are co-morbities
