🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in Seattle after a 21-year-old who was SH0T 3 TIMES trying to STOP A ROBBERY walked 2 blocks BLEEDING TO DE*TH, begging for help...
...and a 7-Eleven LOCKED THE DOORS on him and people stood around FILMING him instead of helping.
He had to TEXT 911 by himself, alone.
Yes, you read that right... ZERO bystanders helped him and he had doors locked in his face while he was bleeding to DE*TH!!!
His name is Matthew Lanske, he's a construction worker in Seattle.
Last Saturday night, he and his friends had just finished dinner in Belltown when they walked into one of those "street takeovers."
His family says a man and two women tried to rob one of Matthew's friends at gunpoint.
Matthew tried to stop the gunman and for his trouble, he was SH0T THREE TIMES.
Twice in the stomach and a third bullet shattered his pelvis and tore through a major artery.
He should have passed away right there on the sidewalk.
Instead, this man got up and WALKED two blocks while bleeding out.
He was begging for people to help him, no one did.
He made it to a 7-Eleven and they locked the doors in his face:
Later he said he told his mother:
"Mom, they wouldn't let me in. They locked the doors. I begged them to let me, and there was so much blood coming out of my stomach, I thought I was going to die."
His mother's said that he begged BYSTANDERS for help and instead... they filmed him:
"While my son was fighting for his life, people were standing around filming him, taking pictures instead of helping him."
So Matthew sat down on the ground, alone, and did the only thing left.
He texted 911 and then he texted his girlfriend.
Police eventually found him... he has spent 2 days on life support.
He has had two surgeries so far and has two more to go.
It'll be MONTHS before he can work again.
Please pray for Matthew... you won't hear his story in the mainstream media, it doesn't fit the narrative.
Oh, and not a single person has been arrested...
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!
This one is heartbreaking.
He spent 25 YEARS at Adobe.
Senior Software Quality Engineer.
More than 15 years of quality engineering experience.
Laid off in August 2025.
Then he spent more than a year looking for another job in tech.
Applications filtered out.
Recruiters ghosted him.
Interviews that never happened.
Eventually, he gave up.
His next career?
Driving a school bus.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with driving a school bus. It’s important, honest work.
But something is deeply broken when an American with 25 years at one of the world’s premier software companies can’t find another job in tech while we’re simultaneously told America has such a shortage of tech talent that employers need hundreds of thousands of foreign-worker positions.
This is what gets lost in the H-1B debate.
These aren’t statistics.
They’re people.
Before we search the world for another tech worker, shouldn’t Americans like him at least get a fair shot?
The conceit that people in the past were all dumb, gullible rubes to whom we are obviously & profoundly intellectually superior is a defining feature of our own era. It keeps us from grappling in a real way with deep questions about the nature of reality, esp. regarding religion.
Israel planted explosives in a school for disabled children at dawn today in South Lebanon and blew it up.
Not a military target.
A school for disabled children — perhaps the only one in the country.
In what universe is this considered “self-defense”?
The Trump administration has repealed drinking water limits for four different PFAS forever chemicals.
Water providers will no longer have to test or filter for the pollutants.
