VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO EXPRESS PROFOUND APPRECIATION OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO TRAVIS BAIN FOR HIS HEROIC ACTION AS HE ASSISTED A DISTRESSED PEDESTRIAN ON A STREET IN RICHLAND COUNTY WITH CLEAR THINKING AND COMPASSION.
Whereas, when Travis Bain, a second year law student at the University of South Carolina School of Law, was late to work at the Blatt Building on Friday, January 29, 2016, he arrived with a remarkable and incredible explanation; and
Whereas, while passing through Melrose Heights near Dreher High School on his way to work, Mr. Bain was appalled to see a young man lying unconscious on his back on the side of Kline Street; and
Whereas, he did not hesitate to stop his car in the middle of the street and render assistance to the man whose head was bleeding; and
Whereas, unresponsive and not breathing, the young man was turning blue and losing color quickly, and when Mr. Bain checked for his pulse, he found only five beats in ten seconds; and
Whereas, he hurriedly directed a couple to grab his book bag from his car, which he placed under the man's feet, and folded his suit jacket to put under the man's bleeding head; and
Whereas, when a retired Army veteran stopped to assist, Mr. Bain directed him to perform CPR, and by the time the paramedics arrived, the young man was wheezing for air; and
Whereas, Mr. Bain shows the same compassion coupled with resolve as he serves as a law clerk to the House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee and as an extern with the House Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for Travis Bain and his quick thinking and effective response that saved the life of a young man, formerly unknown to him. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express profound appreciation to Travis Bain for his heroic action as he assisted a distressed pedestrian on a street in Richland County with clear thinking and compassion.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Travis Bain.
