After a well documented homicide attempt against a Brazilian presidential runner, a denier-volunteer in a political discussion (unfortunately very common, currently in Brazil; they don't argue anymore... to much extremism) decided to stab himself in his abdomen, like the homicide attempt, in order to show how it (the homicide attempt) was fake... the great point of discussion is that while it's possible to see the presidential runner being stabbed, little to no blood was seen (some doctors explained that it can happens, since a stab has low kinect energy, so the muscles can close up like a curtain, and the bleeding remains internal; in a medical bulletin, was said that the Bolsonaro, the presidential runner, lost almost 50% of his blood, and had a blood pressure of 10/3 when arriving at the hospital; we need to consider that in Brazil politicians like him (he currently holds a seat at our lower house) has an insurance that cover everything they need, at any price, which is really different from the rest of the population)... He bleed himself to death doing do, partially proving his point, since he had a external hemorrhage.

We have lots of stories of people who attempt to "prove" a gun is unloaded only to shoot themselves in the process. However I don't think we have any stories where a person attempts to demonstrate that being stabbed with a knife results in blood loss by actually stabbing himself. This is a new one for me. Thanks, Marcelo!
