Video: Rais Bhuiyan, a Muslim American, was shot 10 days after 9/11, then he fought to save his attacker’s life who was on death row!
Ten days after 9/11, a white supremacist named Mark Stroman came into the gas station where Bhuiyan was working behind the counter, pointed a double barreled shotgun at his face, and pulled the trigger. Then Bhuiyan did something almost unimaginable. As Mark Stroman sat on death row, Bhuiyan worked night and day to fight for his clemency, and the two of them — the attacker and the victim — became friends.
