Default Kid praised for hitting burglar with baseball bat

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bes....shot.teen.cnn

Would he still be praised by the media if he had used a gun? Would this story even get this much publicity if he had used a gun?

It would have been twisted around and blaming the parents for leaving a gun within reach of the kid.
