Why do you think political violence is good? Isn't it a sign of a failing state?

One could say that the state was failing pretty hard during the french revolution as well

22

Definitely but the US current situation and struggle is not at all like French Revolution. "The aristocrats"(aka the rich) are the ones who lead this, any change won't be for the good of the people, just money changing hands. Looks more like the fall of Roman Republic to me with common people suffering and the state becoming more authoritarian.

I looked around after hearing about it and several sources confirmed his death not long ago.

To steal a quote from that Scottish granny commenting on Thatcher’s death: they ought to put a string of garlic around his neck and a stake in his heart to make sure he doesn’t come back.

93

It looked like a shot right in the jugular. Even if EMT's were sitting right next to him, it's incredibly unlikely to survive that.

Judging by the weird way his head lolled back I'm pretty sure it severed his spine too. Double whammy. Dude was dead before he knew what hit him.

7

His arms went into something of a fencing response too. Body only does that when you are fucked in the nervous system. Usually for TBIs though so not sure if that's how it works for spinal dmg.

6

Saw the video, pretty sure he is fucked. Quite a bit of blood spurting from the neck

7

Took a nap before he died, woke up to find out he got blasted. Quite the surprise!

"Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?" one audience member asked Kirk.

"Counting or not counting gang violence," he replied before being cut off by the gunshot.

It's almost too perfect. He was trying to turn a genuine question on gun violence into racist rhetoric, and then got immediately snapped...

Was probably feeling pretty smug with how he spun that until his neck popped.

You know what would do this justice? We all gaslight the GOP into saying this is fake news. That it's AI. That he's completely fine but in a bunker somewhere for his safety.

In fact...this is what's true.

No way that a shot would show this much blood, especially against a white hetero man. This has woke AI written all over it.

You'll say holy fuck if you see the front row video. I'll only warn you once.

I was saying holy fuck because this was how I found out and I'll skip watching the video because I've seen enough live leak from like 2008 to 2016 to satisfy any grotesque need for me to see somebody getting murdered for the rest of my life.

33

It was pretty mild compared to the shit you might've seen on LiveLeak tbh.

I remember seeing a video called "unnecessarily slow beheading" there. After that, uh, seeing a stranger get shot just seems so mundane. It's fucked.

Oddly enough, I'm feel less scared of death now. I remember reddit used to have r/watchpeopledie and that really desensitized me to the idea of death.

I hate how society keep dancing around the subject, like cmon, just show it. People would be less afraid and have to resort to religion.

But I guess they put a veil on everything to keep the masses believing in whatever stupid "god" they come up with, "opium of the masses" as some philospher said.

Observing death really makes you appreciate life more. And I'm not saying this as glorifying death, rather, remember all the bigotry is meaningless, we all die. Just accept the difference in skin color, and lifestyle choices like sexual orientation. Just chill and enjoy the rare odds of existing.

3

I definitely remember a lot of WPD from my Reddit years, and agree with what you say about shying away from death.

And having rejected the religion my parents tried to raise me in, agree with your point about it being an opiate people would rather take than accept reality (the quote is attributed to Marx, IIRC).

When my father asked me how I could believe that only nonexistence awaits after death, I told him a block of ice and a pot of boiling water left in the same room will eventually reach the same temperature. Humans must eat until we die. Meat left out eventually rots. All that lives is born to die. No being that has ever existed to its end has ever reversed its age or failed to permanently die.

Why, then, would you expect the entire universe you find yourself in to have a special cheat code to allow you to ignore all of its principles, just because a book, written by man, told you 1) there is, and that 2) this man-written book is incorruptible and can only ever speak the truth? You don’t find that to be the slightest bit strange?

Many years ago when Faces of Death was still a hot thing and I was young, and the internet was ripe for the picking for such things... A number, more than a couple. First hand in real life two, but no shots to the neck.

It seemed low on the outside to catch an artery, obviously it did because you would have had that kind of flow without it.

Honestly, come a lot of the gruesome and horrible crap out there looks kind of tame compared to this. It's one of the things that surprised me back in the 90s, I was expecting everything to kind of look like this.

Charlie Kirk’s shooting was an inside job by Trump to take focus off Epstein files!!

See, I said that sarcastically but with the republicans… this is actually quite likely. So who knows. lol.

I’m not say you are 100% correct. Also, not saying you are 100% wrong. Somewhere in the middle lay the answer to this conundrum. Probably the most obvious scenario is going to end up the culprit. Charlie Kirk is dead. A brief moment passes, “Ok sir, now about those Epstein files being released. How are we looking with that?

The senate just voted 51-49 to not release them. That's how we're looking with that.

He truly was a professional at life.

You see, due to his professialism and resilience, his body produced more blood than an average human. His blood content is comparable to that of Erwin 'Desert Fox' Rommel of WWII brilliant commander fame.

They both had 45-65% more blood than an average human in their bodies at all times.

Once the man uttered the words "gang violence", of incredible importance to himself, that blood rushed into his brain, together with adrenaline and endorphins.

Unfortunately, it was a bit too much for poor Kirk. His blood managed to sever his cartoid. The blood gushed into his head, and the adrenaline compressed his veins.

The rest is history.

Such a pro at life.

I remember when some nutcase asked Kirk 'when will it be time to use the guns?' referring to an all-out armed insurrection, he was in an awkward situation there. What is the takeaway? Fucked if I know...

I doubt he had any time to think. He was killed instantly while doing a "debate" so his mind was probably elsewhere before it ceased to exist.

with a blood pressure drop that rapid, he'd be unconscious before he knew what was happening.

Do you think it is possible for someone to do damage just by saying things?

Are there a series of words and suggestions someone could do to induce others to do harmful things?

Can words impact people at all?

I think words are less damaging than bullets shot into someone's body. If you are so fragile that words hurt you to the point of becoming a homicidal maniac, you should probably be checked into a behavioral health facility ASAP.
