It's arterial blood, along with other body fluids. And with an injury that severe, you transport the victim any way you can. You don't always have a stretcher available. I would have been suspicious if they did have a lot of stretchers there.
And no, severed limbs don't always bleed as much as you would expect. I'm not a doctor, and I really can't explain why.
Onward and upward,
airforce [/b]There were stretchers used. I would think that major amputees would be triaged towards the front of the line. Could be that a person offered their wheelchair to get the guy to the ambulance, although would have expected the ambulance to roll up to the scene first.
I've seen a bit of arterial and veinal blood over the years in medical settings. In another picture the blood color on the ground looked as I would expect, although I don't make a habit of visiting crime scenes.
I'm not claiming the guy is correct but something bothers me about that whole week and the extent of force against the civillian population. Maybe I'm just reading more into it than I should.
