Doesn’t look good!!

Edit: Saw a closeup, he’s 💯 dead. Jugular shot and it gushes like the Cool-Aid man shattered.

Edit 2: Fox is apparently reporting that he’s admitted to the hospital, maybe he’s a snowball that survived hell?

Edit 3: Mixed reporting on if the shooter has been arrested or not. A video showed an old bald white dude in custody.

Edit 4: Trump just had to be the one to announce it… He’s dead. Apparently the old white dude was not the shooter. You can see from the distant video that people did not react to a close shooter, it was at distance.

    quite the description

    but did you ever hear about that thing from the French reign of terror? Aline of people waiting to be guillotined agreed to blink for as long as they were able after being decapitated. Apparently they went on blinking for a minute? Maybe more? Hard to say how much of that was conscious, but it really makes me question most “instant” deaths.

      Yee thats very possible. On one hand i would think the force/cavitation of a bullet would be enough of a shock to scramble everything, but then again a 90lb blade on a track probably has more total energy and thats obviously not enough.

      That’s honestly really interesting.

      I’m not sure it’s entirely comparable as those people were expecting to be guillotined whereas ol Charlie wasn’t expecting it. I doubt he had enough time to process what happened before the lights went out.

      Hard to know also how much of it was true or bullshit, hopefully we won’t know, cuz idk what kind of unit 731 BS humanity would have to pull to gain that knowledge
