If You Can Keep Your Head while All Around You Are Losing Theirs, Then You Will Be a First Grader, My Son

In the chaos that was Causeway Boulevard, this group of evacuees stood out: a 6-year-old boy walking down the road, holding a 5-month-old, surrounded by five toddlers who followed him around as if he were their leader.

They were holding hands. Three of the children were about 2 years old, and one was wearing only diapers. A 3-year-old girl had her 14-month-old brother in tow. The 6-year-old spoke for all of them, and he said his name was Deamonte Love."

I have a feeling that kid is going to need a lot of therapy down the road. He’s not going to get it, of course, but we can talk about that ten years from now, after he’s blown up his high school and opened fire on his classmates.
