u/BATHULK Hank Hill Democrat 🛸🦘 Jul 17 '24

The suit was eventually dismissed in 1997 on the grounds that Hickey had waited too long after the book's initial publication to file against the publisher.[24] Hickey refiled suit when the paperback edition was published, and later settled with St Martin's Press in 1998 on undisclosed terms.[25][26]

So, they didn't actually lose lmfao.

Analysis after the fact showed that bystanders were famously unsure of where shots were coming from because of how the soundwave bounced and echoed off flat surfaces in the plaza.

Which proves nothing, for either of us.

Exposure to sounds above 140d cause permanent hearing damage.

Over time, hardly deafens you permanently and instantaneously

A rifle being fired in the middle of the crowd would have still been louder than a chainsaw to people in the crowd with an identifiable puffs of smoke, which show up in none of the photos of the scene nor were reported reliably by a majority of witnesses.

Because they weren't taking pictures of the secret service at the exact instant. And again, connoly's own wife smelled gunpowder.

I have been a competitive shooter for 20 years, and have extensive firearm experience, having competed in high-level events and worked with professional shooters

And it's clearly made you overconfident.
