It's extraordinarily hard to aim well when fucked up on adrenaline, your arms basically turn into jello; I don't think he was making an effort to spare lefty, I think he missed a kill shot and got his arm instead. Skater boy made the genius move of grabbing the rifle's barrel and basically pointing it right into his chest, it was an impossible to miss shot. That said, yeah, he could've emptied the magazine into lefty's back as he ran and probably got more hits on him, so he was clearly showing some restraint. But people've been saying he was doing a pro gamer move by just shooting the arm with the gun, and I really doubt that. If he was aiming for the arm of someone just a few feet away with a pistol, he was dumb to try to make a Hollywood shot when his life was on the line.
Yeah. Adrenaline has many wonderful properties, like making you stronger and faster and not feeling hunger or pain. But then again, each action has an equal and opposite reaction. I talked about Geoff Thompson earlier. Geoff was someone who suffered a bit too much with the old adrenaline overload. It can make your face go white and your knees go weak, if you don't know how to control it. He learned how to harness it and became a world-class fighter.
Some see another man's face go white when in conflict as a weak point, but I see it as a good signal to get the fuck out of dodge. He might be getting ready to faint, or he might be getting ready to beat the ever loving shit out of you. I've seen men's eyes go literally Black as well. Their whole iris explode in to nothing but pupil. And the beatings that take place after that happening are fucking brutal. It's also a sign of love in the opposite sex. "Doe-eyed", I believe they call it.
Some people see other's faces going red as embarassment. But then again, it might be pure fucking rage. On the whole, any time you see someone's face change colour, would be a good time to get the fuck out of your current situation.
I've seen people go red with embarrassment and I've seen them go red with rage. I've seen men go white with fear, and I've also seen men go white in the face and ready to go on the most murderous rampages you could imagine. The body moves its blood and its adrenaline around from where it needs it for vital organs, the brain being the biggest organ of all, and the eyes being the biggest pre-processors for threat assessment.
Anyway, adrenaline is only your friend for the short term. It can fuck you up as much as it can help you. Good fighters know this. It's a balance, because without adrenaline, you will not overcome pain, your body will process sugars in a different way leading to energy loss, and it could mean the difference between life and death for you or your family if you over react or under react. Not many men these days have been full on with this flight/fight/fawn instinct/reaction. And then there is how women react to this stimulus too, which is not to be overlooked. They still have that shit flying through their bodies. I imagine giving birth, well, I suppose those old adrenal glands have something to say about that as well...
We share the same chakras and glands between us. Except for testes/ovaries. Which are kind of the same thing.
Ma! Ma! It's time to turn my internet off. I've sperged out again.
No, no, not my head-dobber! I need that for connecting to the farms - you wouldn't understand!
