Bang Bang

Ok, so instead of working this afternoon trying to figure out a way to create revenue, utilize my time, and increase my efficiency, I watched the coverage of A-Bien getting shot. What seems weird is the following:
a) if the shooter was up high like they say, and A-bien was standing high up in the back of an open jeep, the obvious most easy target to hit was his head. But he got scraped across the belly.
b) if you got shot, it would seem normal to do something like scream, flinch, duck, fall over, crouch down or collapse. But all A-bien does is move his hand to the jeep's roll bar. Weird.
b) then they point to the bullet hole in the windshield...which was a second shot. So trigonometry and some physics suggests that as the jeep moved forward, it would be more likely that the shooter was then on either side of the jeep, possibly still to the front a bit after having been passed, so how would it happen that a bullet entered straight through the right part of the front windshield to hit the VP sitting on the left side of the jeep in the back? This suggests that the shot was straight on from lower.
c) ...and if the shot was straight on, there was a big fat guy on a walkie-talkie sitting in the passenger seat right behind the bullet hole, but the bullet passed around his body and hit the VP in the shin.
d) A-bien is rushed to a Green hospital, and no one gets to know what is really going on.
e) ...and all this happens the day after the on-the-spot high ranking DPP advisor holds a press conference confirming that the first lady must have amnesia because he remembers very clearly being at her house 10 years ago when Party A happily donated money to Party B, who happily accepted. His press conference and judicial reasoning were the most amusing and biting commentary against the first lady on this whole election.
f) and one day before the election...very dramatic.
Hey, this guy has put together a pretty good bang bang fact sheet. Does he work for the government?

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
