Skull showing not necessarily worst case scenario but I bet there was blood everywhere. Scalps bleed a lot.

Skull showing not necessarily worst case scenario but I bet there was blood everywhere. Scalps bleed a lot.

Time will tell but surgery can fix subdural bleeding. I would be more concerned about his neck potentially being broken

Can you tell me sir? What brand of aspirin will you take for your splitting head ache?

Stonewall's Revenge?

In my HIGHLY LAUDED opinion----the monument
destroyers should be charged with FIRST DEGREE
MURDER. The Seizures indicate brain damage. The
man will remain afflicted, more or less, even if he survives. THE BRAIN is the PERSON

This was on Thurs-
PORTSMOUTH, Va. — The wife of a man who was hit by a Confederate soldier statue said Thursday that doctors put him into a coma as they treated him for his injuries...
...Green's wife, Tonieh Brisbane-Green, wasn't with him at the demonstration. She said her husband of 13 years flatlined twice while he was on the way to the hospital. She told 13News Now that they have two children.
Tonieh said she supports people’s right to protest, “but do it in a peaceful manner. There was no need to do all of that especially while there were so many people around that statue knowing that somebody’s going to get hurt.”
Now Green's wife said she was upset that protesters "didn't think" when they pulled the statue down.
