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 10 months 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 10 months 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.

Hey man, nice shot.

I find the line “Property damage - Bullet hole in wall” fucking wild.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 10 months 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 It sounds like the case against him was legitimate because the case wasn’t able to be repealed, but most people today would barely blink at a no-bid contract finance bribe.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.
T00l_shed@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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 10 months ago
Was it shame, or the system actually holding corrupt politicians accountable? I miss those days.
I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 10 months ago
And all he did was take a bribe to give a sweetheart deal to a tech company.
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 10 months 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.

Hey man, nice shot
snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 10 months ago
What a good shot man.
Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 10 months ago
This is the classy shit I love to see.

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 10 months ago
Same when shot in the neck.
Lucky_777@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You’re right. Kirk video was equally fascinating
Akasazh@feddit.nl 10 months 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 10 months 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.
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s why I say hey man nice shot.
MehBlah@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Good shot, man

Haven’t heard an r budd dryer joke since Opie and Anthony days.
The classics return
db2@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’ve seen a few, you just gotta take a shot at it. 🤷
phoenixarise@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Hahahaha this is the kind of dark humor I love. 🖤
Avicenna@programming.dev 10 months 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.
bigfondue@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Budd, no!
zd9@lemmy.world 10 months ago
maybe one day that’ll happen

Hello sir, superb discharge of your revolver.
