It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

That poor child - both of them, and the family. What a terrible thing to have happened.  |

Tragic. Your linked article mentions nothing though about the boy trying to save his sister. Is there another link which mentions this?

I still do not see it in the initial link. Nor do I see a slideshow. I am using a tablet. Maybe it is different for desktop computer. Your quite above does not mention it either. |

It must be different for you then because my 2nd quote says explicitly (in part) that "the suspect sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl and killed her 8-year-old brother".

I see that. But ìt does not mention he was protecting his sister. |

Oh for heaven's sake. sigh. they were in the backyard together. certainly he wasn't encouraging the rapist! The reference to him dying while protecting his sister IS there though, as part of the slideshow caption that you can't see.
It's not in the article though, as you pointed out.

The title of the slideshow in the OP article is "SLIDESHOW: 8-year-old killed tying to save sister from rapist". Hence mystery solved.  |

That's no fun. This is Current Events. We need blood.  And of course Archie's gone AWOL. Great.  Let's see... ... ... Ah! I ask you people: Would this tragedy have happened had this eight-year-old boy been properly armed with a gun? I think not. I contend that gun-grabbing liberals are the true murderers in this case. |

Well just a moment or two more, especially for Mr. Smarty Pants, aka Virgil Showlion.
I later used my desktop computer to see what was up and....voilà! - there was now a slide show and there was a caption below the picture of the young boy where none existed when I first, second, and third time read the opening link my tablet. |

Ill be watching this story. Once the sister told the truth about who attacked her, he was arrested. Love to know if this was his FIRST crime or he had a history of criminal behavior
