I’m not certain how long it would take to drain a baby of a lethal amount of blood, but it would likely be only minutes in this case. If they arrived at the hospital close to the time that the ambulance would have arrived at the scene, their chauffeuring would have been a net positive. Gold star for the attempt, but gold star confiscated for obliterating a baby in the first place. In fact, -2 gold stars.

Sometimes the best case scenario is to meet the ambulance en route. A baby hit in the head would certainly be in that category. They're dumb fucking assholes for shooting the baby but this part was probably the right move. permalink fedilink source parent
