Wait so she hadn't been shot in the head?

[–] ravenaspiring@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You can be shot in the head and survive. I don't have statistics, but there have been many who have survived.

A 28 year old at close range. A 14 year old. 47 year old. Etc.

The point is that Good had an outside chance and these bastards don't give a shit about people they've shot.

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

My point is that people were spreading the narrative/rumor that she was shot in the head for some reason. It is possible to be shot in the head and survive, it's not as common as surviving gunshot wounds to extremities or even the chest cavity, especially if first aid and stop the bleed measures are started ASAP.

So for some reason, from the very beginning, there was a miscommunication being spread (whether intentional or not) that her survival was probably less likely than it actually was.

Even if that doctor hadn't been there and hasn't been prevented from helping, it also seems worth asking why all of the ICE agents who were present at the time had been issued fire arms, but none of the dickheads just standing around letting this lady bleed out, had any first aid training?

Seriously none of them? Nobody even had some kind of common sense inkling hat they should probably try to stop the bleeding? Not even the "war veteran" who shot her? Just more weird shit to add to the long list of how/why did shit go down the way it did that day. So many weird things seem like he set out to intentionally murder somebody that day, and not just because her wife had embarrassed him beforehand.

  1. Why did the ICE agent who allegedly had PTSD from being dragged by a car intentionally position himself in front of her car?

  2. Why was his safety already off when he grabbed his gun

  3. Why did he keep his phone in one hand filming while he shooting at a car that was moving towards him?

  4. Did none of the "trained federal agents" really not have any basic first aid training, despite some of them previously seeing combat?

  5. Why did they refuse to let the doctor help her?

  6. Who started the rumor she had been shot in the head?

Because they had orders to make an example of one of the vehicle blockers that had been harassing and frustrating them all over the country. They wanted to send a message that the gloves were off.

So who ordered the hit? Noem? PeeWee Himmler? Trump?

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Vance? Vought? Who knows. "Just following orders that came from the very top" chain of command game of telephone.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 4 weeks ago

No, all this immigration chaos stuff is all being directed by Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller, with Trump's full approval.

Trump has full immunity for OFFICIAL presidential acts, and ordering the murder of an American citizens to send a message is NOT an official act. Show me where the Constitution outlines that official presidential duty.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

They probably think first aid is for pussies.

[–] BunScientist@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 weeks ago

No idea but some people have survived holes in their head.

[–] Coach@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Some reports say she was shot twice in the chest and once in the forearm.
