I guess it wasn't a white girl he tackled or else he'd be in jail!

This brought tears to my eyes. But this girls situation shows a real problem with bullying in schools.

The VFW is currently sponsoring an essay contest around the question, "Are there any more American Heroes?" Caleb Eulls answers that question with a resounding, "YES!" Mississippi State is one lucky school.

You are an inspiration, young man.

Congrats Kaleb. You are a true humble hero. Your brave act and more importantly your consideration for your fellow classmates is inspirational. We do need more young men like you.

Kaleb way to go !

[blacktino]

Proud of you Kaleb! KUDOS!

Wow...................if there is a civilian medal for bravery, this young man deserves it.

Bravo, sir, bravo.

[CherrySpring]

What an awesome guy Kaleb is! This country could use more brave, selfless, and quick thinking young adults like Kaleb.

[stmu]

Kaleb, thank you for your quick thinking and bravery. Good luck at Mississippi State. Congratulations.

Was this story covered on FAUX NEWS ?

This kid is a real hero. It's unfortunate that school shootings have now become routine in gun-crazed America.

Well, you know, if we would just let every student carry a gun to school, that would keep violence from happening. Doesn't that make sense?

[Rogan]

You'd be more effective, actually, arming the teachers...

Hey, guns don't _kill people, people _kill people. If you believe that NRA pap, I have a mountain cabin to sell you in the Angeles National Forest.

Just watching the news and reading the HufPost I was feeling really depressed about what is going in our country. But the selflessness of this kid is overwhelming me. Every once in a while someone reminds me that there is still hope for the future.

Great job Kaleb, you are one brave young man.

[retroredux]

What a brave young man. He deserves the key to the city:)

I noticed that appears to be Kaleb's home behind them. It appears it is badly in need of a roof repair (hence the tarps)
It would be WONDERFUL if some group, or celebrity, or company could offer to help get this young man's families home repaired.

An EXCELLENT suggestion! Home Depot? Lowes? Here's an opportunity for some VERY positive public exposure.
