He was not struck with a bullet. It was shrapnel from one of the nearby screens. There's a reason they didn't release the first medical report and took a week to get their favorite lying doctor (who is not a practice doctor any longer because he's in Congress) to release his own lie filled report.
A bullet would have torn off a hunk of his ear. We've seen the lack of wound within days of the event.
A bullet would have to actually hit the ear for what you describe. But I guess you have a vested interest in not at least trying to understand this.
You understand that the space-time we inhabit, or at least I do, has a very high resolution? The bullet can be any distance at all from the ear as it flies by.
Is this clear?
People seem to think it should have torn his ear clean off. Bullets can barely nick things.
No. They either ricochet off the drywall to make a cool peeeinggg sound effect, or splatter you like a bug in Starship Troopers. Even a .22 short.
But every gun is a M2 or Barrett.
