@bcglorf-It's been going-on in the United States for over 75 years, it's by design and insidious. You create a herd of dutiful putties who will jump like performing circus dogs into any barrel of shit you dish 'em.
Create entire generations of mentally incapacitated fools drunk on bread and ballgames, and the worlds' THEIR oyster.....covered in your sweat, blood, tears, and spinal fluid.

if u look at the x-ray of the man, all sorts of spinal issues are apparent. even to the untrained eye. The pelvis has been, at a minimum, grossly subluxed (misaligned) at the pubic symphysis.

yes, he was clenching his buttocks. that is how one stabilizes fucked-up-edness.
this man was involved in an accident, probably auto, that caused him to walk funny. Likely, even without a prolonged anal rape, he was constantly in considerable pain to begin with.

It seems as though he didn't even use any part of his brain for that movement. It looks like a pure reflex action originating in his spinal cord. That stuff has to take years to develop... Insane.

Chin blow carries mechanical force from mandible directly to the skull with no soft tissue shock absorption along the way--and the direct mechanical force of the blow translates to fore-and-aft movement of the skull WITHOUT any rotation absorbing the energy---skull imparts blows force directly to soft tissue of the brain as the inertial mass of the brain leaves it standing in place, being sloshed through the normally cushioning layer of cerebral spinal fluid to make direct mechanical contact with the inside of the skull (albeit through the layers of the pia, mater and dura) ----forebrain and probably including midbrain structures---and then whipsaws backwards with a contra-coup impact on the back the brain as the head snaps back. (occiput/visual centers)

The mechanical impact of the brain tissue on the inside wall of the brain probably causes (now I'm guessing, but it's an informed guess) the neurons to respond to the blow with a mass ionic depolarization/electrical potential trigger---and concussion.

If he's only averagely unlucky, he'll also have a intra-cerebral/parenchymal micro bleeding---and if he's really unlucky, he'll keep getting in that ring and he'll end up like the NFL players with serial concussions or like Muhammed Ali. A demented, Parkinsonian cripple.

Don't get hit in the head.

Unless that's Wolverine I don't think this was an insurance scam attempt. If he did survive it must be obvious, even to him, that his spinal cord would be mush.

Poor dude...

How is this "poor support on the part of the VA"? Yes, clearly his pain was not being adequately addressed, but he got an extreme surgery at a private hospital without relief of his symptoms. In my opinion, the VA doctors did the right thing by not operating without knowing that it would improve his pain. Now he is in pain without bowel function, worse off than he was before. I don't know the details of his injuries, but some spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury patients have neurogenic pain that is unrelieved by any intervention let alone surgery.

His hits came fast 'n furious when there was music that make fun of itself so hard....His schtick is dated but he's ingrained in musical satire with all of the greats-

Short List that pops to mind from as many eras I can muster without google:

Rosemary Clooney
Betty Hutton
The Residents
Spinal Tap
Shel Silverstein
Mrs.Alva Miller
Garfunkel and Oats
Tom Lehrer
Jimmy Fallon
Louden Wainwright Jr.
Biff Rose (I cheated)

List goes on but my brain won't...

Fallon kills me with this;

You are witnesess at the new birth of Spinal Tap Mark II, hope you enjoy our new direction...


Seriously.

>> ^RFlagg:

So can somebody explain the diaper he wears when not in the wheel chair? Is it to protect his stuff, which when he was spinal walking appeared to be out, or for some other purpose?


Or maybe pooping?

I once had a cat that had a spinal cord injury...he could not relieve his bladder or his bowels because of it...I'm guessing this injury perhaps he does not have control over those two functions.>> ^RFlagg:
