The protester said the rally was peaceful until it suddenly got ugly. Now, as he recovers in the hospital, he's not sure if he'll get his vision back in his right eye.
IIRC, rubber “bullets” are somewhere around 30mm, which isn’t that far off from the size of the rounds grenade launchers commonly use - I think those are usually 30-40mm. I saw somebody recently say that they’re the size of 8 or even 4-gauge shotgun slugs, and an 8-gauge is 25% larger than a 12-gauge.
They’re also not rubber like people think of when they hear the name. They’re a metal slug wrapped in a layer of rubber or foam.
Different victim but here’s what a shot to the back can do:
I think he was hit with some kind of grenade the police fired. There seems to be a huge hole in the center. How is he not paralyzed??

That’s a big-ass bruise. If it was a hole, that man wouldn’t be standing.
Holy shit, where is that picture from? Is that an injury from the current round of protests?
I believe that was from about a week ago. I think it got overshadowed by * gestures widely *.
