No. But I would think most.

You know what’s interesting? I have a book about early settlers, Indian fighters and Rangers in early Texas. It was written before the turn of the 19th century.

Young children, younger than this young man, sent out in the evening to bring cows in for the night. Young boys sent to “go fetch help”. Trying to help fight off Comanches who broke into their homes to rape, kill and steal anything that caught their eye. Killing and dying or being carried off to defend their homes.

Wonder what changed?

@TheRedComet

Wouldn’t be more prudent to see if the kid is even impacted by it?

Humans react to stimuli differently. We are individuals.

Instead of taking him to a shrink right off the bat wouldn’t it be better to wait since he will be around the family anyway and they’ll be the first to notice any changes if they happen?

To be frank, it is not worth it to try and explain why a 12 year old, who had to defend his family and kill someone, might benefit from simply being asked how he is coping from a professional trained in helping children who have experienced violence.

“Rub some dirt on it” seems to be the motif here, so be it. I am not changing anyone’s mind so there is no use debating it.

But to answer your question, you shouldn’t wait until problems surface. Bad idea.

Who would that be? He didn’t “experience” violence, he dealt it. He’s not a victim. He’s a Warrior. A man who did what he had to do.

Sorry, Sneaky. No sense debating this, we are at an impasse.

sorry. engineers humor. there is no actual translation, and comes from “germanese” warning posted on equipment since about the 50s or so:

There are actually quite a few German words in there.

Ist = is
nicht = not
der = the
das = the
und = and
bei = at
dumbkopfen = stupid
muss = got to, or must
relaxen = relax

The two languages have many similar words. I study German, lots of rules but I still enjoy progressing.

ATTENTION slack jawed yokels

this computerized machine is not for your poking your booger picking fingers and grabbing. its likely to break the delicate precision internal workings, blow a fuse or generally pop corks and cause sparks. it’s not advised that idiots like AOC try to work on it. curious types are advised to keep you hands in your pockets and just relax and stare at the blinking light.

[WuWei]

Thank you.

For my own entertainment I actually translated the funny German spelling into real German.

Original First:

Next the English translation… (credit to ThinkingMan)

And what it looks like in real German…

Das computer ist nicht fur finger stochern und hand griefen. Ist einfach einrasten der federn,
Sicherung durchbrennen und pop cork mit funken. Ist nicht fur arbeiten durch das dumpkopfen. Das Gummihals Besichtigung behalten das Baumwollpflücken handë im das Tasche muss; relaxen und sehen das Blinklicht.

@Samm

Do you think he doesn’t recognize that his action saved his grandmother’s life? It doesn’t take a shrink to know that even a kid can figure that one out.

I’m sure soldiers returning from war recognize that they were killing the “enemy” but still battle with PTSD and other psychological effects. And they are adults.

I’d feel more guilty about killing an enemy soldier than a home invader.
