A stranger was bleeding in the parking lot. This man saved his life with a shirt and a bear hug

“Don’t worry, I got you,” McGill said.

He knew he needed to stop the bleeding. He pulled off his lavender V-neck shirt and wrapped it around the arm of the weakening man slouched against him.

Blood poured onto McGill’s jeans. He grabbed the wounded man’s shirt and tied it around the other arm.

“We just need to make it to the perimeter,” McGill said, trying to encourage the stranger to move. But the man’s back was hurting and he couldn’t walk alone; that’s when McGill saw the man’s back, covered in blood from yet another gunshot wound.

McGill ushered them both to the safety zone, where he saw a bystander observing the chaos.

“Give me your shirt!” he called out. The man took it off without a word, and McGill pressed it to the stranger’s bleeding back.

When they reached the car they told McGill to lie down and they put Rodney on top of him. He was told to hold Rodney tight.

You know what? There are times I hate the police. This is not one of them.

It's the tender care we show for each other in the face of absolute horror that gives me slivers of hope for humanity.
