It isn’t that they don’t want to list previous names it’s that the law was buried and not made apparent to the candidate. It wasn’t on the candidate requirement guide, the petition has no space for former names, many people weren’teven aware of the law’s existence.
While I don’t disagree with the law in theory (listing previous names in normal for things like background checks) it’s clear this law was dug up specifically to try to disqualify the candidate in bad faith.
If the grenades dropped on the floor when most people were sitting at a table the table may have obstructed shrapnel and prevented it from reaching any organs whose breach would result in immediate death (heart, brain, etc.). It would have to hit a major artery to kill near quickly on the lower body which isn’t a huge target.
Instead, it probably hit the legs and possibly some lower body organs, which can still be deadly but less immediate.
It’s insane that the guy who dropped them at his own feet survived though. Dude must be half shrapnel at that range.
Technically Brandon Lee was killed by a bullet. They removed the powder but left the bullet (for appearance sake since it was a revolver and would be noticeable). Since there was no powder the bullet didn’t fire out of the gun when the trigger was pulled but the primer (which wasn’t removed) igniting created enough force to put the bullet in the barrel where it got jammed.
No one noticed the jammed bullet, and when they next fired it with blanks this time (powder charge, no bullets) the powder was now forceful enough to fire the bullet out of the gun.
Essentially they accidentally made a revolver into a breach loaded firearm.
Says it was a homemade blank made from gunpowder and glue. Depends on the construction but the glue “bullet” (probably just a plug to keep the gunpowder in) should explode in the barrel and shoot out basically dust.
However you can’t guarantee the glue plug would fully disintegrate and at close range the debris can be moving fast enough to cause damage and can be hot enough to burn.
Luckily, one of those is the government that just requested the fine…
