I believe that’s R. Budd Dwyer; he’s pulling a revolver out of that envelope just before shooting himself in the head.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Trump doing that would be dark?
we still joke how Hitler wasn’t that bad, because by the end he killed Hitler.
HereIAm@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I don’t know anything about him or why he shot himself, but I remember it looked like he felt bad for scaring the the people in the room with the gun, and so quickly finished it off.

I find the line “Property damage - Bullet hole in wall” fucking wild.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 1 month ago
This is wild to read in 2025. It sounds like the case against him was legitimate because the case wasn’t able to be repealed, but most people today would barely blink at a no-bid contract finance bribe. We’re living in a post-shame world.
And I only know about this man from the press conference/suicide sections of this article, but he seemed intelligent and empathetic. Even if he was guilty of bribery, it’s tragic that he took his life.

Holy shit that’s nuts. The video is on archive.org if you’re crazy enough to look it up.

Pretty sure it’s the guy who offed himself on camera because of some politics stuff, I think involving a bribe

That really lightened the mood.

That was back when politicians actually felt shame.
phoenixarise@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Was it shame, or the system actually holding corrupt politicians accountable? I miss those days.

And all he did was take a bribe to give a sweetheart deal to a tech company.
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I actually thought he did it so the family wouldnt lose anything. Since he never resigned wouldnt the family also have received benefits from his death. Maybe im wrong, but I felt like I read that a while back.

This is an amazing video oh what happens to a human after the shot to the head. Massive exit of blood through the nose. I haven’t watched it in years but it’s burned into my memory
RaoulDuke85@piefed.social 1 month ago
Same when shot in the neck.
Lucky_777@lemmy.world 1 month ago
You’re right. Kirk video was equally fascinating
Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Is what happens when you aren’t very aware of anatomy and run the risk of actually not hitting the brain.
The ‘gun under the chin’ method can lead you to shoot out your nose and eyes, but still survive. Now if there’s a gusher you’d probably hit the brain enough. But ear to ear is way more likely to actually instantly kill you.
Agent641@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Same with the guy in the FBI training video where a guy gets put in an interrogation room without being frisked. He takes a drink of water, puts the cap back on the bottle, pulls out a .45, bangs his temple, and the nose just gushes blood like a fire hydrant.

That’s why I say hey man nice shot.

Hahahaha this is the kind of dark humor I love. 🖤
Avicenna@programming.dev 1 month ago
wow didn’t know about this guy till I read the stuff here. The politicians’ threshold for feeling shame sure has gone down the drain.
