According to MSM, the "lockdown" on Watertown has been lifted. LE has completed their search of the area, and the suspect has not been found.
Reports indicate he may be headed to Connecticut. *unconfirmed*
how the MSM is 100% complicit with the wishes of the terrorists by utilizing fear mongering as their primary weapon against the innocent people of the USA and the world at large.

Cavscout, since you are the con- to Mykah's pro- on the subject de jour, I have an honest question or three about it. I see your points about shock and blood vessel constriction. In fact there are not a large number of double amputees out there, but certainly enough to say that it isn't an automatic ticket home.
Q1: In this case, we see what appears to be his leg meat flapping and hanging like rags from the bone. Have you seen this level of tissue damage IRL, and was there lack of bloodflow in such a case? TBH I can't accept the idea that there isn't residual blood draining from the shredded tissue as they wheel him away.
Q1.5: Speaking of wheeling him away, why in the world would you put a guy who could tank at any second in a wheelchair? What a mess of a scene where boo-boos get neck braces and gurneys and mortal wounds get the parade route in a wheelchair...
Q2: Shock can indeed keep someone up when they ought to go down (pass out). Losing both lower extremities would drop his blood by what, 1-1.5L? Add to that any potential bleeding on the ground prior to TQ. How long will that adrenaline rush last in grave traumatic injuries before a patient succumbs to physiology? Wouldn't the sudden shredding of his legs tank his B/P at least for a moment, causing instant unconsciousness?
Q3: Providing he can stay conscious indefinitely (as the wheeling away picture seems to prove) someone on one of the many threads pointed out that while slightly pale he maintains a healthy glow, at first glance I would rate his level of consciousness (LOC) fairly high. His lips nor fingertips are blue or grey, his eyes are fairly sharp and aware, not glassy and shocky. In your experience, have you seen many patients with this amount of damage present such a high LOC after the injury? Let's confine the timerange to 5-10 mins post-injury.

Suck it up and lift that chin.

Just say NO to Tyranny!

So which is it? I think you are just dissinforming.
That fake tourniquet wrap job has a clear gap in it on the left anterior proximal thigh. It would not stop arterial bleeding, so no you are wrong.
Trendlenburg is good for shock and still used, at the very least he should be supine on a stretcher not legs lowered in a wheelchair which causes more bleeding, so no you are wrong.
Even your own state says just tourniquet and pressure, so where's the pressure on the fake tourniquet if this is real? Again contradicting yourself.
All you've done is try and discredit my reasoning yet here again I've shown you not only speak untruths but contradict both yourself and logic. Enough.
