Slain Trick-or-Treater Saved Father

[Captain Planet!]

"T.J. saved us that night," Grinnell said. "He took most of the shots."

Am I just reading this wrong, or is that a horrible thing to say?

I think that's a really, really stupid thing to say too.

Why is that a stupid thing to say?

Maybe I'm just missing something.

I think it's just that statement coupled with Dew's observation. He's saying the boy saved their lives because he happened to be in front of them to "take most of the bullets". It just seemed like an odd thing to say about your child the first time I read the article. "He saved my life because he was in front of me to take the bullets. Like a human shield."


But it's really beside the point, they lost their child and I hope their family the best in their hard times.
