People need to stop celebrating the shooter! I'm absolutely disgusted and ashamed by their actions. Charlie Kirk was doing nothing but sitting there giving a speech. This was in the middle of the day, there were clear sky's and the sun was shining directly on Charlie, as if he was chosen to deliver an important message. Than the shooter shot at him. I'll say it as it is, nothing was between Charlie and the shooter that warranted this.
So how could the shooter miss the shot at Charlie Kirk's large ass head and hit him in neck instead! Embarrassing, do better on the next fascist.
I dunno, seemed pretty grim and gory to me? Head explosion wouldn't make much of a difference outside of memeworthyness. Fountain of blood was fully acceptable. Sniped an artery.
Imagine if it was a few inches to the left instead.
Oh, we don't need to
Unfortunately it was likely his carotid artery. His brain would have lost the blood to think before he realized he was shot.
The brain still has oxygen for a little while. Even if it's just 2-3 seconds, that's wayy more than it takes for it to register what's happening
Jokes on you, he died nearly instantly.
The nearly makes all the difference
Not gonna lie, you had us in the first half.
Goddammit you got me. I was mad at you for two sentences ... then laughed. Noice.
Seriously though, nice shot.
One could also complain about the fascists "level". The shooter could have gone for a higher ranking fascist to gain more points/credibility.
Indeed, it's a target rich environment. They just need to get out more enjoy the nice weather.
