![Wikipedia for Charles Askins
^ Legacy
Askins was controversial for the relish with which he described the numerous fatal shootings in his law enforcement and military careers, stating he had killed 27 men."][4] Because he was involved in numerous shootouts along the US/Mexico border, and due to his stated practice of not keeping track of African-Americans and Hispanics, the actual number of killings he committed was potentially much higher.!' Askins once remarked that he thought he was a psychopathic killer, and that he hunted animals so avidly because he was not allowed to hunt men anymore."'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ghyxogmqcsikckdpaswyv7dl/bafkreigmf3kaywg4pwmbcfdfhavuqkya6vvlbz5bcujq74lzxblqrxcxzq@jpeg)

And to be clear, the six reported injuries were nosebleeds, which is what happens when you have barotrauma.
I’ve been asking since June, if a passenger is handcuffed and the handcuffs are attached to a chain around their waists, can they even reach up to grab their masks? Seems like no.
