來自康涅狄格州布里奇波特的32歲男子亞倫·塔克(Aaron Tucker)一周前剛從監獄獲釋。他住在一家中途之家,當天早上安排了一次工作面試。
他穿着中途之家提供的乾淨襯衫,搭乘公交車前往面試。途中,公交車司機看到一輛汽車撞到樹上翻了個身。
亞倫毫不猶豫地跳下車,跑過去幫忙。他跪下,解開司機的安全帶,把他從殘骸中拉了出來。就在他安慰司機說“你會沒事的”時,汽車突然起火燃燒起來。
亞倫脫下乾淨的襯衫,用它為司機的頭部止血。不久之後,消防員和急救人員趕到現場。亞倫那天錯過了工作面試,但對他來說,拯救生命更重要。
“工作可以來來去去,但生命只有一次,”亞倫說道。
社區裡的人們聽說了他的故事後,紛紛在 GoFundMe 上創建了籌款頁面,為他籌集了超過 6 萬美元。除此之外,Aaron 還收到了許多工作邀請。
我在美國住了多年了,我一直認為黑人雖然犯罪多,但是本性不壞,他們的犯罪與黃人處心積慮的欺騙犯罪不同,往往是吸毒,或者生活能力不夠,智力不夠造成的犯罪。這個故事也支持了我的看法。 下面是他的照片和英文報道:
Aaron Tucker, a 32-year-old from Bridgeport, Connecticut, had just been released from jail a week earlier. He was staying in a halfway house and had a job interview lined up that morning. Dressed in a clean shirt the halfway house gave him, he caught a bus to get to his interview. On the way, the bus driver saw a car that had crashed into a tree and flipped over. Without thinking twice, Aaron jumped off the bus and ran to help. He knelt down, unbuckled the driver, and pulled him out of the wreck. As he reassured the man, saying, “You’re gonna be okay,” the car burst into flames. Aaron took off his clean dress shirt and used it to stop the driver’s head from bleeding. Shortly after, firefighters and EMTs arrived to take over. Aaron missed his job interview that day, but for him, saving a life was more important. “A job can come and go, but a life is a one-time thing,” Aaron said. When people in the community heard his story, they set up a GoFundMe page and raised over $60,000 for him. On top of that, Aaron received many job offers.
