  Brutal video, the cameraman did not shy away and had a close-up shot of the guys head spurting blood like a faucet as he lay there dying

    I was like thirteen and one of my friends had one of those “faces of dead”? VHS.

    I remember him handing out envelopes or something, said something and pulled out the gun out. With his free hand trying to keep people away and suddenly put it in his mouth, pulling the trigger.

    I still remember the blood streaming out of him.

  The reason Dwyer shot himself is that he was facing prison time for a corruption scheme and if he died while still in office, his family got full benefits. Oh, and it turned out he was innocent.

    Source on his being innocent? I don’t remember that being even likely given the evidence, but it’s been like 35 years so I’m curious what came to light.

      There was a biased documentary produced called Honest Man: The life of R. Budd Dwyer that spread the myth that Dwyer was framed. AFAIK, there is no evidence to prove that this actually happened, at all.

      The FBI investigated him, a grand jury indicted him, and a court jury (who saw all the evidence over a long period of time) convicted him. All the appeals filed by his lawyers, after his death, were also denied.

  Did a newspaper straight up put a pic of him with his head spurting blood on the front page? Goddamn
