Just as the shots start ringing out, she dumps the mop and walks out without looking.
Oh hell no. Not again. I quit.

The fun starts around the 1 minute mark.
Idiot tried to rob a bank using his rusty and old revolver, but it fails and now he's dead. He bypassed the metal detector pretending to have suffered an accident and using a fake metal bar in his leg.
He'll be fine assuming he gets first aid, but it does look arterial. Get some pressure on it and get him to a doctor snappish and he'll make it.Hope the guard is ok. Looks like he took a few hits
Guard would have been badly fucked had the robber's gun not jammed up after 1 or 2 shots, he was holding it over the counter pointed at his back pulling the trigger after the guard wiped out and his belt fell to his feet.Hope the guard is ok. Looks like he took a few hits
It's pretty clear most people are too distressed to do anything logical in these situations. My question is, would they survive if they moved to the middle?
Probably better to just die, seems like he's guaranteed to be a vegetable.>Crazy Mike broke his neck, collarbone, lower back, pelvis, ribs, sternum and both of his arms and also suffered two collapsed lungs and second-degree burns.
Fucking ouch.
I can only assume that Lady Luck must have been in a pretty good mood today. It must've been a miracle to even be alive after all of that.
Assuming they even could get to the center and stay there given the forces at play it's doubtful, that thing's either going to keep getting smashed against the building until the entire structure fails or the wind dies down, whichever happens first. It's possible, but far from probable.It's pretty clear most people are too distressed to do anything logical in these situations. My question is, would they survive if they moved to the middle?

This is why you're supposed to carry a tourniquet when you're a cop, btw.He'll be fine assuming he gets first aid, but it does look arterial. Get some pressure on it and get him to a doctor snappish and he'll make it.
Tourniquets aren't always needed though, and should only be used as a tool of last resort since they have such a high potential to fuck up the body especially if you aren't very well trained in their usage or in case you just plain fuck it up, which most people are and most people do.This is why you're supposed to carry a tourniquet when you're a cop, btw.
Yeah that's worth noting but any cop who has heard of another bleeding out will have a tourniquet, and know how to use it. I'm pretty confident one was warranted here seeing has he dumped a trail of blood behind the counter.Tourniquets aren't always needed though, and should only be used as a tool of last resort since they have such a high potential to fuck up the body especially if you aren't very well trained in their usage or in case you just plain fuck it up, which most people are and most people do.
Yeah probably, I just hate ever recommending them personally for that reason.Yeah that's worth noting but any cop who has heard of another bleeding out will have a tourniquet, and know how to use it.

6 shots is more than enough to kill anything that moves.
He drew a better gun with his blood than the one he used.View attachment 3407914

Paul Harrel always says 6 is the average number of shots required to defend yourself, but this vid is why I carry 26+1.
The way his legs just turn to jello....*chef kiss*View attachment 3407914

Looked venous to me based on the color (it's noticeably darker than the blood coming from the robber, which is definitely arterial), but I could be wrong. Still, depending on where he was hit he risks more than just bleeding out.He'll be fine assuming he gets first aid, but it does look arterial.

I did some reading up on this and the "losing a limb" thing may be just a myth, or an extremely rare occurrence. The two things I keep seeing as words of caution are:
1. Don't use them for snake bites. Venom staying in one spot in the body can cause its own complications.
2. Make sure it is used above the wound. Most people say you might as well go as high as you can, and I haven't found anyone contradicting that.
Also, addendum: be careful when applying a tourniquet to someone's leg. A guy's leg in particular, or you might accidentally catch one or both balls and pop those suckers.Looked venous to me based on the color (it's noticeably darker than the blood coming from the robber, which is definitely arterial), but I could be wrong.

Been trained/licensed as an EMT. A few tips for tourniquets:
0. Only use a tourniquet for bleeding (duh). For bites/poison, contact poison control for instructions (1-800-222-1222 in the US).
1. Apply pressure first. 99% of the time, if the limb isn't amputated, direct pressure on the wound is all you need to stop the bleeding (also, if/when the bleeding stops, leave whatever you were using to apply pressure over the wound. Removing it can disrupt any clots that formed and start bleeding again)
2. This should be obvious, but only apply a tourniquet if the bleeding is in a limb. You can't tourniquet a chest wound, and putting a tourniquet on a head/neck wound is next-level retarded.
3. Also obvious, but apply the tourniquet proximal to (above) the site of injury, though as close to the injury site as you can get. Also, don't apply the tourniquet over a joint like the knee or elbow
4. Use a commercial tourniquet over a makeshift one. You need to completely cut of the circulation in order for it to be effective and it's harder to do so with a makeshift tourniquet.
4b. If you need to make a makeshift tourniquet, use something with a wide surface area like a shirtsleeve (rather than a string or rope). When you go to tie it off, shove a stick or something in the knot and twist it to tighten it. This allows you to tighten it more effectively than just trying to tie a really tight knot on you own.
5. Tighten the tourniquet until the bleeding stops. It should be very painful, and is likely traumatic for the patient; but it's better than bleeding out.
6. If possible, note the time you applied the tourniquet. It's important information for the ER doctors to know, and a first responder is likely to ask you about it.
7. Don't remove the tourniquet after you apply it. That's a job for the ER physicians as improper removal can cause serious issues. We were taught that if it somehow starts bleeding again, apply a second tourniquet rather than re-applying the first one.
8. Get the patient to the hospital ASAP after applying a tourniquet. Dallying around for too long can risk necrosis of the limb and compartment syndrome, both things you don't want. Ideally, you should have already called 911 before you put it on.
