Brian Sicknick Update
- Thread starter Darts
- Start date
So fighting off an attack had nothing to do with the couple of strokes he had the same day?
You can be sure that his blood pressure was way up there after all of that stress.
And only somebody with a bias towards the rioters/trump would totally discount Sicknick getting hit in the head with the fire extinguisher. That's the kind of stuff righties always do.
Of course he didn't get hit in the head by the fire extinguisher, but who cares, right? Even a fake story makes the righties all that much scarier. If you could only work an anal penetration into this...imagine the headlines! Orgasmic. Maybe there's still time to add to the story? Why don't you send out a tweet and see if it trends.
Good question but I only report the medical findings verbatim. So, I don't know.
I did not know that it was in dispute. No determination on whether he was hit or not has been made, just that he died of natural causes.
It is still quite possible that the stroke was initiated by the stress of that day. But there is no way to prove or disprove that either.
From a NYT article:
Law enforcement officials initially said Mr. Sicknick was struck with a fire extinguisher, but weeks later, police sources and investigators were at odds over whether he was hit. Medical experts have said he did not die of blunt force trauma, according to one law enforcement official.
The Oracle
Pronouns: Who/Cares
''He also said there was no evidence of either external or internal injuries.''
''The autopsy revealed that Sicknick, 42, said the strokes at the base of the brain stem were caused by a blood clot,''
Okay so he's saying that the events of that day had nothing to do with his death right?
Not so fast because he surmises this beauty of a change in tone.
"All that transpired played a role in his condition," Diaz told the newspaper.''
Sounds like someone is pontificating here something that cannot be true. How can blood clots just magically appear from a stressful situation? He had no marks on him so he didn't get hit I would presume. Confusing........
Even Shack admits he doesn't know for sure.
"It is still quite possible that the stroke was initiated by the stress of that day. But there is no way to prove or disprove that either." Maybe his buddy knows and not telling us.
Just like George Floyd had pre existing medical conditions. He looked fine about twenty minutes before the cops arrested him and killed him. Medical armchair experts probably still contest that the kneeling on his neck had nothing to do with his death. I am going to take a wild guess and say that Sicknick would probably survived the day under normal circumstances. If you have a medical condition that is life threatening, then physically and mentally stressing you to breaking point can, (just a wild guess), probably be attributed to your untimely demise.
Actually, the autopsy revealed no marks on his neck. Defense counsel made that clear but the moon rocks sitting in the jury box had no clue what he was saying.
That fucking video. what a sham. had me fooled.
I'm trying to find a transcript of the closing argument by the defense where Eric Nelson went point by point. I made mental notes of the 3 key points but I would like to find the actual transcript.
1) Was Chauvin's actions by the book?
2) Were there any bruises/marks on Floyd's neck?
3) What was Floyd's oxygen level?
Ok, found the transcript,

I can save you the trouble. Expert witness.....exhaust fumes.
"George Floyd died of asphyxiation, but he has a 98% oxygen level.” His blood is oxygenated. Then it is stands to reason, the opposite is true as well. You can’t come in and say, “I can conclusively prove that Mr. Floyd didn’t have carbon monoxide in his blood because he had this high oxygen saturation.” You test one statement against the evidence of other people and you compare it. That is what you, as jurors are obligated to do and what I am asking you to do."\

Use of force argument is long, if anyone is interested you will have to read it yourself. Go to around 42 in the transcript.
No injuries to neck.
"There was no bruising to the neck or back above the skin, under the skin or into the subcutaneous muscles of the neck and back. And he would expect to see those things in a case like this. There was no finding that pressure was applied to the point [inaudible 02:05:46] to cause these injuries. There were no injuries to the structures of his neck and that when he finally did review the video, it didn’t appear that the placement of the knee affected the structures of the neck because Mr. Floyd could lift up his head, turn his head, move it around. He saw no fractures to the structures of the neck, including the hyoid bone."
