In an 1806 duel, Andrew Jackson (the 7th American president) knew he couldn't outdraw master marksman Charles Dickinson. His survival strategy was brutal: he deliberately let Dickinson shoot him first.
Under the rules of dueling, once a man fired, he was required to stand motionless on his mark and await his opponent's return fire. If Jackson rushed his shot to beat Dickinson, he might miss. By absorbing the bullet, Jackson bought himself the time to aim with absolute precision.
Dickinson fired. A cloud of dust puffed from Jackson’s coat as the bullet struck him squarely in the chest. But Jackson did not fall. He simply raised his left hand to his chest, stood perfectly still, and leveled his pistol.
Jackson survived the immediate impact because of a wardrobe trick and his gaunt physique. Standing 6-foot-1 and weighing only about 145 pounds, Jackson wore a loose, oversized dark blue frock coat. When he took his mark, he turned sideways in a bladed stance. Dickinson aimed exactly where a man's heart should be based on the drape of the coat. The bullet hit the precise spot Dickinson intended, but Jackson's actual heart was an inch or two away. The ball shattered two ribs and lodged deep in his chest cavity.
Despite the massive trauma, Jackson masked his pain through sheer willpower and spite. He despised Dickinson—who had publicly insulted his wife—and was determined not to give the marksman the satisfaction of knowing he had landed a successful shot before dying. Jackson later said, 'I should have hit him, if he had shot me through the brain.'
Jackson pulled his trigger, but the pistol stopped at half-cock. He calmly pulled the hammer all the way back, took aim again, and shot Dickinson in the abdomen. Dickinson fell and bled to death hours later.
Jackson casually walked away from the dueling ground with his surgeon, hiding his wound until they were out of sight of Dickinson's seconds. It was only when the surgeon noticed blood sloshing inside Jackson's left boot that he realized the future president had been hit. The bullet was too close to the heart to be safely removed, and Jackson carried it inside his chest for the remaining 39 years of his life.

En reiteradas ocasiones los atacaron y saquearon, su "amistad" solo existe porque les convenía en el momento, mientras tanto te pones en contra de la nación que lucho codo a codo por tu independencia, un poco de historia te pido.

@otakuRev @Fran_Casaretto_ El árbitro, el VAR puede llamarlo pero en última instancia es el árbitro el que decide. A grandes razgos el contexto de confrontación es bastante universal, después está la discrecionalidad arbitral que está en cualquier decisión del partido. Esta "razonablemente" reglamentado.

@TTruppia @Fran_Casaretto_ Y quien decide como es el contexto de confrontación?
