Spoiler'd and linked because the picture is very graphic.
I just deleted yet ANOTHER person off my friends list on Facebook because they posted THIS bullshit on their feed.
1- They have pressure on the wound to keep him from bleeding out. You don't just move a severely injured person without stabilizing them first numbnutz!
2- I dunno, he looks like he's in shock to me. And steal a wheelchair? Have you ever been to a marthon? Especially in one as big as the Boston Marathon there's multiple spare wheelchairs all over in case of people fainting or heat stroke and so forth.
3- Um, no. He's not. It's a guy who lives 2 towns over from me fuckface.
As a Bostonian and someone who knows people effected by this horrible incident, please go fornicate with rusty hot iron poker.
Also, with #1, the guy is also not bleeding all over the place because the gentleman in the cowboy hat is literally holding the wounded man's major artery.
For those not willing to click the spoiler but wondering what's there, it's the full, uncropped photo of the man with both legs blown off...yes, THAT one. Some douchenozzle then wrote a bunch on B.S. that went like this (I'll paraphrase)...
CONTENT OF THE STUPID GRAPHIC:(Famous ' Boston Marathon Guy With Legs Blown Off' photo, uncropped & uncensored in all it's heart-breaking, harrowing & stomach-churning glory)
1.) "Dood! He's not bleedin' all over the place, man! He looks just fine! Nevermind the fact that I'm totally ignoring that he's, like, totally grey in stuff! FAKEY!"
2.) "What sort of bozo would steal a wheelchair? Did they swipe it from some sweet old lady or sumffin'? FAKEY!"
3.) "The wheelchair guy is really some solder dood who lost his legs in the war, man! They like put on fake bloody things on his stumps n stuff! FAKEY!"
Conspiracy nuts are ridiculous! I hope you un-friended him!
Also, the identities of the men and what became of "Leg-less Wheelchair Guy".
