86. Yes he values his own life

Fri Jul 26, 2024, 12:45 PM

Jul 2024

so would he ever put himself in a position where he has to have absolute trust in the person shooting "at" him? He would have to surrender all control and know he is solely in the hands of the shooter.

I don't see him ever doing such a thing.

Nonsense. As if he'd put himself in sights of a rifle. A man was killed, two seriously injured. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #4

No, but I read it was broken glass that hit him Joinfortmill Jul 2024 #34

You read that from speculators who looked for confirmation and not facts. See post 22 Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #38

According to FBI, they don't know what hit him Joinfortmill Jul 2024 #45

There is only one side about the assassination attempt: the facts. The FBI have not officially resolved the facts Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #47

Wow. I just stated what the FBI director said. Joinfortmill Jul 2024 #48

What caused the glass shard? Did it leap off of the teleprompter? rsdsharp Jul 2024 #13

They're saying it was shrapnel, which is metal shards or debris from the bullet FakeNoose Jul 2024 #18

It could have been an intact bullet simply nicking his ear. rsdsharp Jul 2024 #21

Ruptured eardrum... theCHARLOTTEan Jul 2024 #7

Ruptured by what? ZZenith Jul 2024 #10

Supersonic shockwave of passing bullet. theCHARLOTTEan Jul 2024 #14

I believe the photographed "bullet" is actually a tiny space ship rictofen Jul 2024 #20

The shockwave from a super sonic round would be loud, but not enough dBs to rupture your eardrum. LudwigPastorius Jul 2024 #25

I Agree With You ProfessorGAC Jul 2024 #101

Was wondering about heat. Is a bullet hot after being fired? Could a bullet passing very near cause burns? Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #29

It was undoubtedly hot somewhat, but not enough to cauterize the wound, especially so briefly Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #39

Thanks for the info re velocity and time, but I wasn't talking cauterizing, I meant just good ol fashioned burns Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #71

Interesting analysis. I don't think the bullet airspeed heats it much, not compared to heating from firing energy. . .nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #73

Thanks for the input. What I know about bullets in flight is to avoid them Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #80

i searched for bullet graze wounds and the area surrounding do not look burnt. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #85

Thanks for the great info Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #99

Hmmmmm... MOST interesting. calimary Jul 2024 #100

Look at the blood, though orange jar Jul 2024 #12
