TBH, "getting shot in the head" has a much different meaning than "getting shot in the ear". I think getting shot at all makes the same point whether you over dramatize it or not. So might as well not.

I see your point but on the other hand - the head is where I keep my ears so it is accurate.

Ears are attached to the head. But, when we hear "shot in the head", if we didn't know better we might be surprised to find out it was just the ear. Of course, I'm glad it wasn't in the head and was only the ear. That might have been the spark that ignites the powder keg.

Not to me, but an associate once was guilty of a negligent discharge, very close to a friend's head.

Friend was not touched, but he lost consciousness
for almost twenty minutes, the time it took an ambulance to get out in the scrub where we were.

He was fine, but for a couple of days he was not quite right. Maybe like a boxing or football injury.

I worry that some similar trauma could have occured to President Trump.

Such concussive effects are nearly always from the muzzle blast, not the supersonic shockwave. The muzzle blast was ~150yds away.

I'm not concerned with Trump's neurological status, considering he went from assassination attempt to a marathon stint at the RNC. He proved he was not substantially impacted.

 

[actaeon277]

Listening to Guy Relford (yesterday's show) and he was saying a doctor "consultant" was claiming that Trump needs to be examined due to ... get this... damage from the "gun blast".

He said people often suffer neuro damage, or concussions.


I guess he doesn't know, that's the 'muzzle blast' that was 100+ yards away.
