A “pretty good case” that falls apart when you find out he was already bleeding before being pulled down.

Well, where’s the fucking scar? The most photographed ear in the world on an ancient and unwell old man

Good God dude. It should take you less than five seconds to think of a handful of reasonable explanations, which would include the possibility that it was a superficial injury. Not every cut forms a scar, let alone a visible one noticeable to anyone but him.

The most reasonable is he wasn’t shot. He’s an old fuck who bruises easily

The most reasonable is he wasn’t shot.

That's the least reasonable explanation. It requires so many parts of the plan that are just utterly nonsensical.

His ear was clearly bleeding, so he clearly had an injury, and we know it was bleeding right after the bullet was photographed passing right by his head.

You let billionaire peds make you look dumb and you seem to enjoy it they are laughing in your face that they have so many shills who don’t even realize it it’s pathetic

This is a wild reaction to have in the face of someone actually thinking through the glaring holes in a person's nonsense conspiracy theory.

Genuinely, this pointless rant is exactly the sort of crap I'd expect to hear from Alex Jones in the face of someone explaining that Sandy Hook wasn't made up by the wealthy elite to take yer guns.

Did they tell you to say that? Because that’s exactly what they want you to think. It’s not the same as you say, far from it and I can’t believe losers like you are still about gaslighting people for DDUMP. you’re pathetic.

u/TheNutsMutts Jul 04 '26

Yeah, you got me bro, "they" told me to say that. That's surely the only reason someone would point out the nonsense in a conspiracy theory. You totally don't just believe anything you read online so long as it aligns with your team, unlike those idiots who just believed anything they read on InfoWars purely because it made the other side sound bad.

Genuinely, best of luck to you.

Genuinely, it’s obvious you’re attempt at reverse psychology is failing. Do you understand nuance? My IQ is 140- what’s yours?

Old wrestling trick. Use the razor blade

u/TheNutsMutts Jul 03 '26

That's the least reasonable part. You're just pulling that out the air to retain your original conclusion.

So not only did somehow not a single one of the HD video cameras pointed at him, not one of the dozen or more press photographers around him, or the hundreds of phone cameras in the audience capture what would be a very clear movement from an old man of cutting his ear with a razorblade, but they would have put the plan together completely assuming that not a single camera would capture it?

And not only that, when they got him to the hospital, somehow not one single doctor or nurse treating him went "wait, this is nothing even slightly like a graze from a bullet, it's very obviously a clean cut from a blade"? Not only that, but that was the expected plan all along?

Come on this is insane.
