His parental units apparently did something right in his upbringing.

No, his mom’s a doper and his dad was no where near the trailer when it went up. He was apparently being cared for by extended family.

"He was apparently being cared for by extended family."

Hence the use of "units".

Wonder how long it will be before a minority group trashes the media for posting the boy’s picture, depicting a White in a heroes role.

What a great kid. Rips your heart out to realize he didn’t make it. Very sad.

In spite of circumstances, there still be heroes born among us. A heroic feat among certain subcultures.

God bless the young man.
