Been about two decades in FRONT LINE EMS. And i can count on less than one hand the "shiners" i have seen. Oh yeah, someone can say that it just did not "fill out yet' as the fall just happened or was very recent. Nah, i can even tell you of likely the THOUSANDS i have seen in the ER and them shiners are RARE.
The demographic of this particular crowd, the "elites" has a massively higher percentage, i could surmise. Then, it would be interdasting for someone who has the leisure of time, to note WHO and WHEN and if it is INCREASING. As my inquiries back in the service were: "Who What When Where Why How How Many and What the Hell?" (My boss didnt like that.)
Is there now a preponderance considering the times that we are in and IMHO an uptick in worldly power, status, wealth, as well as advances that facilitate certain 'maladies"? Restraint is being cast off in these darker days. Some would say oh there has been worse. But i still posit that when bargaining with the adversary the price only goes UP. And it appears that a lot of soul selling is going on. "Sign here." "Use the 'red' ink."
Do we even need to go into again the whole aspect of COUNTENANCE?? I have addressed that in the past. It speaks for itself.
Great point. It hadn't crossed my mind on how often I see shiners. I'm not in any medical field, but still, I may have seen 2-3 people in public with a black eye my entire life. Outstanding observation.
ThanQ, anon. Yeah, it appears [they] are taking a "shine" to some dastardly stuff. These people are sick.
Brother, I was in LE and most of the shiners I witnessed came from fights. Rarely heard the door or fall story. Again this reminds me of their need for Symbolism. Thank you for sharing this.
