Post 98 – The Hidden Injury: When Violence Is Minimized
During an incident, I was struck in the head with a branch, causing everything to go white—a sign of a serious impact, possibly a concussion.
Despite the severity, the branch was later described as “weak,” minimizing the harm inflicted and the violence of the event.
Tactics Breakdown – Minimization and Denial
- Physical Assault: Use of a blunt object causing potential brain injury
- Neurological Impact: Symptoms indicating concussion or trauma
- Minimization: Downplaying the seriousness to avoid responsibility
- Denial: Refusal to acknowledge the true nature of the injury
