        I hadn’t watched it till now… yuck!

        but probably something anyone that wants to talk about this should see

        but it got me thinking, I think the shooter was aiming for his mouth and the drift made the shot hit a little lower

          He seems an adept shooter. I’d bet he was aiming for center mass like a good little sniper. But one can hardly ask the local range if he can practice from their sloping roof out to 250 yards.

          Yeah, no desire to see it myself. I was on the fence about reporting a still shot I saw on IG. Don’t suppress but don’t advertise.

        Which is odd you know? I thought “meh I’ve seen some sick shit” but nope. One minute he’s a racist accelerationist bigot and the next moment he still is but his brain is clearly whack and blood is rushing down his neck.

        Movies and videogames don’t come remotely close to representing it accurately

          I’ve even see other videos of people getting killed before, and they were not this bad. Not often; I’m not someone who generally seeks that stuff out. Maybe it’s because of the bright lighting, high clarity, and comparatively high resolution of this one, combined with a gunshot wound that had very gory and visible results.

            For me it’s mostly how the body reacts to the bullet, the hands going up a little Ina reflex, but you can see he’s already lost control of his body. That part is always what gets me

            I think what gets people about this one is the large amount of blood that comes from severing a major artery like that and it funneling out through such a focused point followed by how quickly he reacts, goes into shock, then goes limp.

            Most gore people get to see, even the real stuff, is much more initially destructive. So the blood goes everywhere all at once and there is very little time or ability to see the immediate reaction of the injured person.

            For me, most of the worst stuff I’ve seen that is not tv/movie make believe that was the most unsettling had very little gore in the traditional sense. It was the reaction of the person that got injured that made it unsettling and the slow realization they make of what happened and is currently happening. There is a much more calm yet panicked tone to it than someone getting ran over by a tank or their head cut off by a terrorist.

              Kirk’s killer seems to have used some large calibre weapon which probably made it look so particularly brutal and bloody.

                It was a .30-06, a 7.62mm round, similar to an AK-47 (ARs uses5.56mm). They make big exit wounds.

                Given how close the round hit to his brain and the fact that it hit a major artery, he likely died due to the hydrostatic shock from the impact.

                He likely didn’t even know he was hit, he was seizing immediately and all of his body motion after the impact was involuntary.

        Meh. Not that bad. Glad to see dude go.

        Zios are murdering kds and their whole families every day. That’s something that’s actually gruesome.

          So you believe that people should get murdered for expressing their opinions, got it.

            Kirk also helped organized and bussed people to the Capitol. It’s not just opinions.

            But also, yes, if your opinion is certain people should cease to exist simply because they’re not white, I will think that person themselves should cease to exist in turn.

            You can disagree with political violence and also not be upset that he’s dead.

            Conflating the two is disingenuous
