Last Thursday, I went to grab a quick pizza at Costco. Close to the food court and tire shop, I saw a young man acting erratic and trying to break a sign pole.
The first person to respond was a technician from the tire shop. He went to help this young man by trying to dissuade and comfort him. It was obvious his actions were the product of a condition requiring paramedics.
Others bystanders were reacting and trying to assist. More than one person called 9-1-1, and a small army of staff came from Costco. I saw some managers and supervisors, all of them diligently assisting, trying their best to render help and keep everyone safe. I saw one woman running to get fluids, as others kept the person conscious, comfortable, and safe.
