Possibly saved his sister's life or from sexual assault. We need more like him here in Michigan.

Slingshots illegal in nj. Here the kid would literally be charged with a weapons offense.

This was on the news reported that while the attacker had the girl the brother hit the attacker in the head, not bad for a young man with a slingshot.
Good for him.
