“Non-life-threatening” and “tourniquet” do not belong in the same sentence. Nice shooting too.
The whole of the Bill of Rights is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals. It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of.

The tourniquet should have been applied at that narrow area between head and chest.
A 13 knot tourniquet, perhaps? heh heh
“It’s pretty. too.” Yeah but can it fight?
Bears repeating….
I hope the resident there in Portland has a good lawyer. Isn’t that state one with a “duty to retreat” law?
