Popped a McD ketchup packet (or squib from TV pals), wore a panty liner for a few days over an uninjured ear, showed up with no panty liner a week/10 days later with no sign of any injury. No medical report available. Snopes seems to be less than trustworthy lately. I admit to being confused about the death of the firefighter. Could that kid be THAT good a shot to miss like that? Ok, I don't know. It just all seems fishy.

I have to go with Snopes even though their image in the link further down in the article is hard to make out as a bullet graze to an ear, we have to not conjecture or question. That is not our place.

I disagree with this CT:

He was not injured in any way

the pics show exposed cartilage and damage

Also, you have your medical degree or forensic degree from where, exactly?

The fact he isn't releasing any medical reports speaks volumes.

Also, others were injured by shrapnel at the event.

Further, Snopes bent over backwards to try to say that Trump never said positive things about white supremacists.
