The Spur Question

[AussieMick]

Further to the issue of when Booth broke his leg ... I would have expected more in the audience to have commented upon the clumsy landing and collapse, a pause, and for there to be a yell of pain or at least a gasp of pain (yes, I know there'd be lots of screaming and shouting but nevertheless his Sic Semper Tyrannis was heard). I can understand the possibility that he'd have adrenaline pumping when he rushed across the stage. But I do have my credibility strained when he arrived at his horse. Simply climbing on would have surely required quite an amount of pressure going on that leg. (Of course, he could have assistance.)
This means that people were standing around whilst a hobbling (armed) killer push his way through a crowd, manage to climb on a waiting horse, and gallop (?) away with one spur.
