I would think a motorbike accident would have more burn or "skid" marks, wouldn't it? Unless, of course, one would be wearing the proper equipment.
But no, nothing to do with that. I was kidnapped by the Venezuelan National Guard (Civil division of the Army). Spent a total of 2 hours with them, being beat up with batons, swords (the flat side), helmets, kicks, punches, and other military paraphernalia. They also detonated a tear gas bomb inside a closed truck with myself inside and some other Guards using gas masks while they beat me some more. In total, about 30 guards beat me up.
My wife witnessed the "pick up", while they beat me on the street in front of her and shot machine guns and tear gas at the surrounding houses. After that the shoved me into the truck and later literally dropped me off at the highway, where they proceeded to kick me some more and even shot at me... I'm still not sure if they missed on purpose.
After the ordeal I spent six hours at the ICU, two weeks on a wheel chair, a month with a cane and about two with an ankle brace. Had many traumas (encephalic, lumbar, abdominal, pulmonary, liver, etc.), bruises all over and you get the picture, so to speak. No broken bones, though... thanks to being a big guy, or so the doctor said.
On a side note, it's important to know that neither before nor after this have I been a political activist, and in no means was my kidnapping pin pointed... just was in the wrong place at the wrong time... and I belonged to the wrong type of people: the government opposition.
And that's about it.
