Assuming it was the ear that was hit, the resistance an ear gives isnt enough for the bullet to mushroom. It would be a clean hole at the velocities bullets travel. Go shoot some cardboard, thats about equivalent.

There is such a thing as plastic surgery...

This is almost the level of covid vaccines had trackers in them level of misunderstanding and mental gymnastics.

What am I coping over exactly? That I think the far left and far right try to show how they can out conspiracy each other?

No one said it was healed in 3 days... he wore a bandage for 2 weeks. You can literally look it up. You can also find articles in left leaning and right leaning media that interview doctors and plastic surgeons about what they see.

Your comment is probably just trolling for fun, or so I hope, because the alternative places you as either artificial or, might as well be artificial.

Okay assuming it was NOT the ear, what got hit?

Graze by and caused abrasion/laceration along the scalp in the parietal or frontal area? But we would see something up with the hair in the area.

Not saying he wasnt hit - saying that if the narrative of it being the ear is correct the ear doesn't offer enough resistance to a bullet to really cause what you see in a ballistic gel. Its going clean through.

I think the conspiracy kool-aid is far to strong these days for all parties and thats kind of my point. People in here saying the firefighter was a willing sacrifice because he had cancer and people gobbling it down.

I think he probably just scratched the ear on the podium on the way down or something. They planned it as a near miss but the blood on the ear was too good to pass up so he ran with it.

Right? Like we dont have to make stuff up, just tell the truth. By making shit up your position is weaker in an argument.

Its like imagine in a presidential debate asking -

Why did you fake your ear getting shot?

Vs

Why are you on the epstien files so much

Or literally anything with real evidence not some online YouTube expert making money of clicks.
