Officer Darren Wilson Suffered “Orbital Blowout Fracture to Eye Socket” During Mike Brown Attack
Gateway Pundit ^ | 19 Aug 2014 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/19/2014 8:22:57 AM PDT by mandaladon

The Gateway Pundit can now confirm from two local St. Louis sources that police Officer Darren Wilson suffered facial fractures during his confrontation with deceased 18 year-old Michael Brown. Officer Wilson clearly feared for his life during the incident that led to the shooting death of Brown. This was after Michael Brown and his accomplice Dorian Johnson robbed a local Ferguson convenience store.

Local St. Louis sources said Wilson suffered an “orbital blowout fracture to the eye socket.” This comes from a source within the District Attorney’s office and confirmed by the St. Louis County Police.

On the dirt, the .45 puts them in a nice little 4 foot circle.

That truly beats anything I have ever fired. Shotguns seem to eject shells fairly consistently. Still, not that tight of a group.

I saw in the movies one time where the guy shot up the other’s barrel preventing him from shooting. I am going ot to the range later to practice this.

-- He [Uncle Chip] must have been universally reviled. --

I don't think so. I "know" him from many contacts relating to the lynching of Zimmerman by the press, and IIRC, a couple other issues or incidents. He struck me as well informed and reasonable. Not always correct (none of us is), but operated from multiple pieces of input data.

In this case, my barely informed impression is that he was taken as a "devil's advocate", biased against the shooter.

So, put me on the list of people who are sad he is gone.

Uncle Chip apparently didn't practice discretion in his participation.

I never once said the cones did not mark casings. I said they may be markers on other evidence also.

Of course do all the following practices while aiming for the legs ....

Shooting with your weak hand,
shooting from your pocket,
shooting after running 2 miles (high heart rate)
shooting while grappling,
shooting from the prone position,
shooting over your back
shooting from/into a vehicle
shooting while driving
shooting while retreiving object/person

I have an old (1980’s) Beeman R7. It is a spring-powered pellet rifle. It is AWESOME. Skip the bb gun, get a decent (by now they must be a few hundred dollars) pellet gun.

My bro’s Kimber is lucky to land them within 15 feet of him, and within 120 degrees arc. It’s really a joy to help him police his brass :o)

This is another nail in the coffin of our press.

All to the good. I've read comments on this story on WaPo, NYT, CNN, etc…I'd say 2/3 are griping about the lying press. At HuffPo, of course, Brown committed genocide against the entire black race and nothing can dissuade them.

“Someone told me Uncle Chip got banned , but I;m guessing the others are waiting in the shadows”

Uncle Chip did get banned but I think the same person who is Uncle Chip has several other screen names on FR.

They are an organized troll group and they are all pushing the same message about the innocent black teen being murdered by the evil racist police.

PLEASE tell me what situation requires shooting at the legs first when the COM target is available.

Groan! I never said when the LUXURY accomodation of target acquisition/availabilty. Sometimes any shooting is better than no shooting.

But here you go, just to satiate your quibbling:

“He obviously punched himself after he shot Saint Michael in order to call it self-defense. “

not for nothing, as we say in new England, but that would have been the only way for him to extract himself from a horrendous future, either at the hands of eric holder, the black panthers, lawsuits etc.
it would actually have been kind of brilliant.

LOL Brass is darned good at hiding too. Sometimes I wonder if they try to crawl off under something after they hit the ground.

“Grab hold of your wheel...You’re all over the road....”
Right down the line not all over. I was not arguing shell casings relative to shooter. I’m arguing assumptions as distance and movement between perp and officer. On hard surfaces, shell cases do not always come to rest relative to shooters position. I have seen that put to test.

They’re probably hiding with all the missing socks behind the dryer, if they didn’t slip into a different dimension.

I have a red coating on my gray lens sunglasses. It makes brass stand out as bright yellow in the sun - helps a lot.

As for the casings, my Glock throws the casing about six feet to my right and about two feet back

I shoot and reload 10mm...I'll be damned if I leave good 10mm brass on the ground......and yes....the brass can go anywhere after ejecting.
