And 4 months after Ronald Reagan was shot, he was running the country. How bad could it have been?

I don’t know why you are ignoring the direct testimony of the medical doctors who treated him, simply to suggest through illogical argument that his injuries were not as the doctors claimed them to be.

Talk about irrelevant. Some poster who is long gone claimed Davila received over a million dollars for his testimony. I suggested (being kind to him) that maybe he was confused and that was the amount of medical treatment he received.

And for some reason, people started to argue that he didn’t need expensive medical treatment, that he wasn’t really hurt.

I’ve shown that the medical doctors testified his injury was life-threatening, required specialized surgery (with a second doctor who was an expert), required additional cosemetic surgery, and might not ever be corrected. I’ve shown that the testimony at the trial was that he WAS slowed down, and was seen by some as limping between the time he was shot and the time he was picked up.

In short, I’ve shown by the facts of the case that his injuries were serious. I don’t know why anybody is arguing otherwise. And all this simply because I wanted to give another poster a possible explanation for his claim with no supporting evidence given that Davila was paid over a million for his testimony.

Just for my own edification, would you mind giving me a link to a story (even WND will do at this point) that he was running drugs in June of the year he was shot? I know he was just arrested, I believe for drugs in October. I haven’t seen a report of a June run.

Still presenting your paraphrased version as "direct testimony," huh?

Don't you agree this is misrepresentation?

John and Ken had someone on who said that the pot smuggling in the fall was NOT the first time he'd done it since after the shooting, and I believe they mentioned June. I am sorry, I cannot recall the name of the interviewee but he was massively informed about the case and I believe he was quoting someone (a witness or something?) who said he was running the drugs not long after his shooting. In which month did he receive his immunity?
