ORIGINAL: thompsonx Try reading my post instead of trying to find some clever way to keep your foot out of your mouth. Well now, aren't you clever? How very observant of you. I read your post, somehow you think that I am either an ostrich with my head in the sand, Osteriches do not put their head in the sand. or that I am a dolt, I am under the impression that it is both. Wrong on both counts. I think you are being arbitrarily obdurant. Obviously you know better than a professional medical examiner, I, on the other hand, do not. Thank you for acknowledging that fact. quote:
It goes against all that you claim to know about guns and so you disregard what you know for the word of someone you have never seen nor have you checked out to see if he had any claim to validity. What I claim to know about guns is not my problem nor is it my point. I know nothing about forensic pathology and neither do you. What does a knowledge of forensic patholigy have to do with gsw? Ordinance is it's own science and its physical rules are welll known. Can you not see that there could be circumstances where gunshot residue would not get on someone at a distance of one foot? No...How about a list of possibilities? Since the muzzle velocity of a .40 cal pill is about 1000 fps give or take a couple of hundred fps we would need a cross wind moving at about the same speed to push the powder away. I did check the weather reports for furgesstan and saw no anomolies that would indicate winds at that speed. If it is impossible then tell me why the medical examiner said that it could be possible. Perhaps he is a moron. I am not a mind reader. Before you decry Dr. Michael Baden as not talking from a position of authority, perhaps you should check his qualifications. Have you checked them or are you simply being argumentative just because you like to be contrary and attempt to make someone look stupid? I can do nothing to make anyone but me look stupid. In this particular case, attempting to make me look stupid is going to backfire on you terribly. Only you can do that. I have only asked you to validate your position and your position is that some talking head said something that is contrary to your experience and you believe it. Not my problem that you choose to ignore your experience in favor of the opinion of someone you never met. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Baden http://educationforensic.com/advisors/bio_michaelbaden.html The man is qualified, experienced, and has likely done more autopsies than you have. No I was the one providing the bodies. Whether or not you accept that as a fact or not is more reflective on you than it is on me. I agree. I am willing to rely on my experiene rather than some moron I know to be mistaken. His career has had some controversy, but that may come more from his public "celebrity" profile than anything. To dismiss his qualifications based on those things would be silly. I dismiss his claims baised on personal experience and nothing more. Now, tell me that it is unreasonable for me to trust the word of a professional, board certified, forensic pathologist over taking the word of a guy on a message board whose only qualifications are what they say they have. I think it is unreasonable for you to tust the word of a professional, board certified forensic patholigist over your own experience. I have already acquiesced to your point about doing the tests myself, but just because you can reproduce it with a piece of paper doesn't mean that it is out of the realm of possibility that in a shooting, gunshot residue might not be evident at as close as 1 foot away. You do not know the distance that Michael Brown was shot, nor do I. The distance at which he was shot is irrelevant to this conversation. We are discussing gsw at a distane of 1 foot and nothing more. You can be dismissive of me all you want. I think, of the two of us, I am being more logical. I do not feel it is logial to take the word of someone I do not know against my own experience...obviously you do. If you can bring something more to the table than simply being contrary for the sake of being contrary, Logic is all I got...sorry I welcome the debate, otherwise, I think I am done here. Even the ladies need to know their limitations.
