I wanted to independently verify this story; have to say I'm a bit disappointed.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

He is still the boy who saved the girl.
Fuck, though.
Yeah, that's why I was just a bit disappointed.
Deep down, all humans are trash.
Some woman was so impressed she set up a scholarship fund for the kid, yet he was still so broke he robbed a place for $200 (split between 2 people).
Humans being heroes! That’s an act of bravery most adults can’t manage, let alone a young man his age.
I'd be brave enough but 15 mins on a bicycle, fast chase or normal pace, and my fat old heart will give out.
Hmm, keep posting these things, we will see yet if humans can even approach redeeming themselves.
Get that dude some Lycra and a decked out Pinarello!
I think its very simple, track down this boy and make it president when he is a man.
Good thing the United States would never elect a president with any criminal history
Steal a couple hundred dollars = years in prison
Steal millions, harm the environment and kill people indirectly = Successfully entrepreneur or politician.
Ethics is more complex my friend. Stealing for necessity is justifiable.
Stealing for pure insane greed should be consider a psicológical disorder and granted reclusion and reeducation.
