I'll remember that next time I see a large group of youths out in the evening on their skateboards. There's a regular group that meets not far from here. Hope they're not in "training."
“NOT “partially blown off”!”
Tomato. . tomahtoe, when a majority of your elbow looks like that, I’d say partially blown off. A band-aide and a kiss on the boo-boo won’t help this guy.
Others may differ.
Oh, and “little piece”. . .not to be rude, but that statement made me chuckle and wonder what a “large” piece is. . .
Again, not being rude. . .
lol..that is one nasty wound...imagine looking down for the first time and seeing that??....yucky...
right at the bend too...what makes it function....thatll will just hang from here on in. Hell think twice next time.....
bet he heard train whistles going off in his head...heh..
Are they in a mob. . .are they at a riot?
Context counts.
Yes. . .I smile just thinking about his reaction.
Exactly, although I think it may be both. I have a college campus nearby and have been surprised at the popularity of skateboards among the students recently. It’s been very noticeable just in the last year or two. I don’t know if it’s part of the ‘80s revival that’s currently going on or what, but there is no doubt that skateboards are experiencing a resurgence among the younger demographic. So i’m thinking that Antifa’s seizing on skateboards as a weapon may be them taking advantage of a trend.
If he had a brain to begin with, then yeah, he’d think twice. . .after all, he already lost the use of one arm already.
Are they holding them up and swinging them at head level or are they standing on them rolling down the street or in a park???
That should give you the answer....
Kyle was like something you see in a Rambo or Chuck Norris flick,,,when hes shooting from a sitting position...total badass...lol
This is why I have the second part of my tag line. One must have the will to use their weapon. The person who hesitates loses the day.

“Your objection is duly noted and placed in the circular file.”
You certainly have the right to continue expressing yourself like a liberal puke.
He still has most of his bicep muscle but the tendon looks totally gone. I wonder if the bones and elbow joint are still intact. If so, and if they can reconstruct the tendon, then maybe he’ll have a somewhat workable arm again. Best case scenario is he learns a lesson from this and has a conversion experience.
Could likely be. Back in the 70’s, when I was in university (yes, I’m old), skateboard became popular and “we” (the gymnastics team) gave it a go and found them to be boring and no challenge at all. Balance, strength, timing, we found the “skills” necessary to roll around on a a piece of wood weren’t much. Things were slower, didn’t require much strength when pressing to a handstand, let alone other strength demands, and things didn’t present a challenge when it came to timing. And of course, no fear motivation because things were very much slower when compared to competitive gymnastics. Rack your junk on a pommel horse, or high-bar, and what fear/pain will affect you while scooting around on a piece of wood. (Most have no idea of the injuries gymnastics can cause, and from great heights, too, depending on the apparatus).
Other may have different opinions.
Not a mob, not a riot. Just a bunch of kids in a parking lot, they meet there regularly, some of them take videos of practice moves, flips, turns etc. It looks like innocent recreation. I hope that’s all it is.
I don’t know why that would even be questioned........
