It’s very gruesome. I was not prepared.

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.

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 there such a focused point.

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

Meh. Not that bad. Zios are murdering kds and their whole families every day.

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

You can disagree with political violence and also not be upset that he’s dead.
Conflating the two is disingenuous

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.

Fucker got what he deserved, I watch it over and over and I feel absolutely nothing for him, no empathy, no connection, he is a threat, neutralized. I would’ve been very pleasantly surprised if a leftist did this because it meant someone out there getting off their ass to fight for what’s right, and what’s right to subdue the threat of the political right, if the means of peaceful discussion, debate and correcting misinformation have failed us, then by any remaining means is fine by me.

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
shalafi@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.
peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s even funnier now we know the shooter was a right wing gun nut.
