What has been bothering me about the A. Babbitt story is how a veteran like this was memory holed instantly and the presence at her "funeral" or "wake" was tiny and many weeks later with family and friends.
My senses tell me this entire story is fake with her being shot.
I'm not sure if by "watched the video" you're talking about the real-time clip, or that video that breaks it down literally second by second, and keeps tabs on the various people in the room. I'm honestly about 50/50 after seeing that; it does a pretty good job at making you think it may have been a staged act.
It's everyone else's reactions that made me not buy it, if a gun goes off in a narrow place like that everyone's going to be flinching and getting away from there as quick as possible, it's human nature. Noone seems too phased and actually keep approaching the scene
Agreed, even in a commotion like that, a pistol caliber round (that isn't .22lr) is going to leave anyones ears ringing if they were within 10-20ft without ear protection (which no one would have had in thai situation, ofc.) Especially in an enclosed space like that (indoor ranges are loud as hell, even the pistol ranges.)

Yes a gun shot going off that close in proximity and no one flinches. BS.
