This 19-min. video raises some questions.
He says she was a meter away from him, but he ran to her.
He says the bullet left no exit wound, but gives the impression she was shot at close range.
He’s a student in England, but doesn’t say why he went to Iran, how long he was there and why he left; it would be helpful to know these things about a man who is both a physician and a writer.
The article says he posted the video, suggesting he owns the camera used, but no indication who was operating it. In the first seconds of the posted video we’ve all seen, he looks deliberately at the person filming his actions.
He indicates there will be repercussions from Iranian authorities, now that he’s been identified, but he doesn’t say how he decided to come forward although he has family in Iran.
The interviewer mainly let him talk, and didn’t ask many questions.
You’re correct. The article and the interview are quite different.
What's an "impression"?
BTW a handgun bullet fired from certain distance won't have to leave the body. Nothing unusual about that.
Maybe he should have been more careful so as not to raise eyebrows by saying a "slow trot" or a "fast walk" or "short sprint" or maybe even "a frenzied foxtrot".......His intent to convey what he experienced at a very chaotic time is very clear to me.
And your attempt to try to parse words and make him out to be a liar is very clear also.......
As for the indepth details to all your questions, maybe they'll be answered in an upcoming book.........
Answered a lot, as well.
He says she was a meter away from him, but he ran to her.
Yep. During critical situations like this, time and distance take on 'different' measurements.
He says the bullet left no exit wound, but gives the impression she was shot at close range.
He also mentioned the Basij were suppose to have 'plastic bullets'. Plastic, rubber, mini-shotgun shells, who knows.
Whatever it was entered the body, destroyed the surrounding organs, and didn't exit. Which any of those would do from a short range.
He’s a student in England, but doesn’t say why he went to Iran, how long he was there and why he left; it would be helpful to know these things about a man who is both a physician and a writer.
Yes he did. Listen again. He had a store there. He publishes books in Iran.
The article says he posted the video, suggesting he owns the camera used, but no indication who was operating it. In the first seconds of the posted video we’ve all seen, he looks deliberately at the person filming his actions.
It is more likely someone else 'owned' the cellphone it was filmed with, or vidcam. It also makes sense that he (as a publisher and doctor) would have the facilities to upload the video from someone's video device, onto the internet.
He indicates there will be repercussions from Iranian authorities, now that he’s been identified, but he doesn’t say how he decided to come forward although he has family in Iran.
He did explain exactly why he 'came forward'. I thought that for someone who had English as a secondary language, that he communicated rather well.
The interviewer mainly let him talk, and didn’t ask many questions.
What a blessing! Can't get that here in the US, can ya????
Fog of war?
