So glad this man stepped in.
Knowing my son had been shot while running an errand for me, then knowing he had to ask THREE different neighbors for help… I can’t put it into words.

This man and the other who helped should be recognized big time. They stepped up when others stepped back.

Using threaded spout to clarify this post since it’s WAY too late to edit.
Looking back, the post looks ambiguous. It can give the impression I’m the mother to this sweet boy. I’m not. I was thinking of how I would feel if it was my son.
This happened minutes from my house and I’m still rattled.

After this heinous act, the people that came to his rescue are heroes, IMO! More of this please!

Thank you.
It restores some faith to know there are still good neighbors out there.
Americans acting normal shouldn’t Need a special shout out. But in todays world they do.

Same. I’m a white mom with black sons and live minutes away from where this happened and honestly, I’m kind of a mess. So I’m trying to post the good stuff.

This happened minutes from my house. I’m angry, disappointed, and happy all rolled up into an emotionally confused ball.

To clarify: the happy is due to the good samaritans

The good samaritans need to be celebrated. It’s sad there’s such a distinction. I hope the people who could have helped but didn’t, carry shame with them that makes them help next time they can.

For every ass-hat bigot out there, there are several good people.
As Mr. Rogers’ mother once said, “Try to look for the helpers.”
Feed your sanity.

Why should he be recognised?
Being a decent human being should be a normal thing for everyone.
The man who shot Yarl & the neighbours who refused to help should be ashamed for the rest of their lives.
& thanks to the man who helped if it’s true. ✌🏼
If being kind isn’t your go to, that’s a problem

I’m sad that this wasn’t the norm. That kindness was so out of the ordinary. But in this case it was. I would rather elevate these men than the one who shot him.

I can't even imagine not helping!

Too many people live in fear, fed by certain segments of the mediasphere.
