This helps to restore my faith that there more good than bad people in this world. Sometimes they just need a reason to show it.

Thanks for posting....

The little guy in the red made me cry ... because he is obviously a great kid.

A lesson for us all

This was a wonderfully feel-good story that really warmed my heart. I am so glad they're getting the props they deserve for being wonderful role models.

Their parents should get kudos as well. If we celebrated compassion and kind acts as much as behaving badly or ruthlessly, for regular people as well as celebrities, we would see a lot more of that behavior.

I do believe that much of the school shooting and violence is a cry for attention, to be noticed and "famous". Now Danny and all his friends are famous for doing something very good. It will encourage more kids and people to do something good and kind.

The little boy in the red sweatshirt is my hero. His parents must be so proud of him. We need more parents to encourage their boys to be as kind as this young man is.

we couldn't shed that false machismo male bull shit and live our lives with that kind of child like love and respect. I believe men want that, they're just stuck in the social stigma of being butch, tough and invulnerable. Be vulnerable, guys. It's good for us.
