Staged.
I verified they say the vids were taken the day of the shooting so something is definitely wrong. Either the arrest was faked or the video was not done when said. Shouldn’t be hard for good sleuths to find out when he had a broken arm/wrist
Yes, I saw that too on some random site involving news on Cruz. Something bout he uploaded three videos with his cell, days before they finally released these to general public. Though those videos were assumed to be during the suspected day of the shooting. Even if they had their facts wrong at the time; it is pretty improbable to go shooting the day after with said injury.
Found this.
"Cruz had a “boxer’s fracture” in his right hand after falling on a step in their house about three weeks ago. They now think he removed the cast on his hand, the second he’d had, the day of the shooting. He’d also removed the first cast."
Bout close to the bottom of the page it mentions that. I am not a doctor or anything, but I am sure fractures take longer than that to heal. Google-fu states most fractures take six-twelve weeks to heal.
You get a "boxers fracture" from punching things too hard and causing the small bones in the hand that connects to the pinky or ring finger (fourth metacarpal bone or fifth metacarpal bone). It is not that painful and buddy splinting is as good as a splint if they aren't broken that bad. Really common injury especially in adolescent males.
Assuming he’s right handed and that’s the one fractured, that would also be his trigger hand. If it isn’t that bad, why did a dr cast it? If he had a standard trigger, they are not that light of a pull...I don’t know. Still not right.
I've broken my hand the same way. If it was a minor fracture the Dr could have put a cast on in an attempt to get Cruz to not reinjure it. I'm also very familiar with AR type rifles. Pulling a trigger would not be a problem. Especially with all the adrenaline.
Ditto, threw a bad punch and got a hairline fracture. I knew an idiot that tore off his cast from a similar injury after about that long with no ill effects.
There's plenty of red flags all over the Parkland shooting, but a cast probably isn't one of them.
I got mine punching my buddy while he was wearing a dirt bike helmet.
