What is an orbital blow out fracture to the eye socket?

A three hundred pound gentle giant punches my eye out, I unload whatever weapon I have till it goes click.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Well, yeah, but a blowout orbital fracture doesn’t justify killing an unarmed gentle giant. /sarc

[ArtDodger]

Interesting. Double vision. So the Gentle Giant’s own actions of punching the officer, is the reason he was shot so many times before he could be stopped.

[Mouton]

Double vision? Obvious to me is he saw more than one person rushing him after he was assaulted! That would make him instantly afraid for his life. Case closed.

What a pair this AG and Pissadent are. The one guy goes back to playing golf after uttering the perfunctory commentary about the killing by ISIS which underscores his terrible foreign policy...the other one makes comments prejudging a domestic matter which he is sworn to remain neutral in. These two are complete and utter failures to their constitutional offices, embarrassments to those, well most of, who have held them before, and need to be drummed out of office.

He may need surgery...

...and if you are seeing double (and a good shot) and aim at the wrong one, the shots will go up the side instead of center of mass, getting closer to the midline as the perp approaches.

Exactly the description of the wound distribution in the perpetrator.

Men suffer from traumatic eye injuries about four times more often than women

Part of the Republican war on wome................er, Democrat war on men.

the reason he was shot so many times

For a cop involved shooting, it was pretty good afa rounds fired vs hits.

[bigdaddy45]

“It has been confirmed”? Has it?

[Slambat]

Sucker punch. He let the animal get too close. It makes
since now. Brown walks up acting all on the up and up,
probably acting friendly and when he gets close enough,
without cause or provocation hits Wilson in the eye,
probably temporarily knocking him out. Then Brown goes for
Wilsons gun.

Wilson made the mistake of taking his eyes off Brown.

My wife had one after she took a fall off of stairs onto a concrete pad on her cheekbone. Nasty indeed. Didn’t see correctly for months.

[Slambat]

“...and if you are seeing double (and a good shot) and aim at the wrong one, the shots will go up the side instead of center of mass, getting closer to the midline as the perp approaches.”

Good one and accurate. Makes sense.

[Slambat]

“For a cop involved shooting, it was pretty good afa rounds fired vs hits.”

No kidding. Usually to get that many hits they have to fire
300 to 400 rounds with 40 cops shooting at a single average
size non moving target at 40 feet in full daylight.

[Haiku Guy]

I remember reading a story, back in the late 80s, about a raid on an apartment in New York City. Four cops bust into an apartment bedroom, and the perp opens fire. The cops return fire. 40 shots were expended in just a few seconds, and nobody got hit!

[null and void]

A three hundred pound gentle giant punches my eye out, I unload whatever weapon I have till it goes click.

And then I pound him with the empty gun until I simply don't have enough strength left to hold it.

[Old Yeller]

Double vision? Obvious to me is he saw more than one person rushing him after he was assaulted! That would make him instantly afraid for his life. Case closed.

No kidding. It would look like TWO Washington Redskins linemen were pass rushing him instead of one.

[Old Yeller]

And then I pound him with the empty gun until I simply don't have enough strength left to hold it.

I'd pop in a backup magazine, rack the slide and empty it too, if I hadn't yet gone unconscious from a blow that hard to my head. I'd be pissed.

[null and void]

I’m OK with adding that as an intermediate step...
