[September 15, 2026] I don’t usually highlight these kinds of things in Liberal cities, but I will this time because it has become so common that people there don’t care anymore. In Seattle, another Lefty city, a man was shot and bleeding to death but could find no one to help him.
Hat tip to Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol for breaking the story.
#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!!!!!
Instead of helping, people stood there filming. This is the world we live in now. Sickening. https://t.co/OPfNqBtoc9

This is a clear indictment on the citizens of Seattle. When they refused to help this man, a decision was made to allow him to die. Fortunately, he did not. Communist/socialist Mayor Katie Wilson should take a step up and communicate to her voters that she does not stand for this kind of behavior.
I doubt she will do anything at all. Wilson does not understand the dynamics of leadership, and the price of her past virtue signaling will only expedite the decline of a once great city.

Please read my books:
Is anyone surprised? Not me. Liberals are always on the edge of being violent tyrants. They are intolerant of anyone who thinks differently from them or has a “normal” family. They love transitioning kids, encouraging mental illness, and given the chance they will harm you with violence. They are untrustworthy and a drain on society.
I’m looking around and found no one at all that is surprised.
🎯 Good Dog is right that nobody seems shocked anymore. That is the real problem. A young man was bleeding in the street after he tried to stop a robbery, and people pulled out phones instead of their hands. That is not how decent people act. In the Army we were taught you never leave a wounded man alone. The same rule should apply on a city sidewalk. Matthew had to text 911 himself while his blood ran onto the concrete. The store that locked him out should be ashamed. Filming a dying man is not news. It is a failure of character. We should pray for his recovery and remember that courage is still a choice.
Sir, allow me to fix your headline … DEPRAVED SEATTLE CITIZENS IGNORE SHOOTING VICTIM. I just had to add “depraved” because any city that would elect a communist deserves what they get. Like Gen. Satterfield has said, get out while you can. He got out of New York City, and has regularly posted that his decision to do so was one of his better lifetime decisions.
