Single shot through the engine block!
Been banned from quite a few comms for sayin’ that.

I confirmed he was dead after I saw him take a 30.06 cannon shell to the carotid. Even given my poor assumption that it was a 5.56 or similar, that kinda hit would send shockwaves into his brain. He had no idea anything happened.
There have been people with their throats cuts that held it together and survived. Famously, that GunTuber had a hot round blow up his .50 rifle, shrapnel right into the neck. He plugged it with his finger and his dad raced him to the hospital. But a direct, or close enough, hit to the carotid artery? At 3,000FPS?!
Still wondering what happened in the minutes and hours after the fact. I know paramedics can’t pronounce death, but could he have really made it to the hospital and survived for hours?

Oh! I wondered how he went so far off the rails. Not like he was a fine man to begin with, but this quote is fucking absurd.

You can’t foresee widespread political gun violence coming? To America?! You might not know, but we’re pretty fucking divided and even us libs are armed.
- Comment on How many layers can we go? 23 hours ago:
Haven’t seen anyone with the real take on this. Either the media is completely owned by the right, yes, even the “liberal mainstream media”, or they’re scared shitless of the fascists. Why not both?

30.06 to the fucking neck. For those not in the know, that’s for taking a deer, through everything, lungs and heart. Considered a humane way to drop a medium-sized animal instantly. No pain. The shockwave is astonishing. Kirk’s brain and spinal column were shut down, he felt nothing, had no idea anything happened. He was “disconnected”.
My FIL shot a deer from front to back with that same round. He was so horrified seeing that animal ripple, never hunted again. I’m no hunter, but I feel him. I have my own reasons for not hunting.
Or, you’re living in WWII and shooting Nazis, which we see here. Get fucking used to it. This will be a sight on your own block soon enough. Take my AR? Aight. I’ll break out the 30.06.
Most gunshot deaths are exactly like this, with less spurting. Early internet, I saw a Mexican college kid protesting. Took a 12-gauge, 00-buck, straight to the chest, 12". He merely looked surprised, little blood bloomed on his shirt, dropped straight down.
It’s not Hollywood, people flying backwards through plate-glass windows. Nah. People simply drop on the spot, sack of potatoes. No drama. Simply dead. Early cowboy movies caught grief because the actors would simply drop when shot. That’s how it works.
I know most of y’all aren’t shooters. Here’s my poor joke on the difference in AR-15 rounds vs. 30.06. Charlie was hit with a fucking cannon.

You American? You’re getting ready to see far worse IRL. European? They’re right behind us.

This pic is gonna be pretty fucking tame compared to what we American’s will soon be seeing in real life. Studied WWII? I took two years of Advanced European History in high school. Fascism is here, now, today. American democracy is not hanging by a thread, it’s all over but the shouting.
Pick up a fucking rifle, learn it, practice safety and marksmanship. Same goes for your choice of pistol. I’ve been onboard since 2020. If you’re not onboard, you will be onboard a train. Yes, you will risk death. You’re going to die either way. I choose to die with my boots on.
This is not macho talk. I fucking hate living like this. Been out all afternoon, shooting my new .22, and writing this reminded me to get my AR-15 and nightstand pistol out the safe. How fucked up is that?!
I’m scared shitless to take my wife back to the Philippines and get her legal ass back in. Seeing a little blood isn’t scaring me anymore. Maybe I’m less human?

I think the FBI merely made an official statement and the media was starving for anything new to print.

SIR!
- Comment on THIS JUST IN: FBI suspects Kirk was likely targeted, more info to come 2 days ago:
Shooter was also aiming down, which is not a thing one can typically practice.
- Comment on THIS JUST IN: FBI suspects Kirk was likely targeted, more info to come 2 days ago:
There is video of a person dressed in black skedaddling back over the rooftop, clearly the shooter. No sane shooter is aiming for the neck, hell no. Pretty sure it was a chest shot that tumbled around his ribcage and exited his neck. Weird shit happens when a teeny projectile hits meat and bone at 3,400FPS.

I had thought OpenAI might survive this bubble, but it sounds like a monster crash coming up. How the hell can they ever make enough to see a profit?!

I meant pegged at less than 18. Several are 16. And even at that Europe is usually lower.

OK. I’ll ask you what I ask homophobes.
Tell me about the time when, as a teen, you choose who and what to be attracted to. Whatever your sexual needs and foibles, when and how did you choose them? What about things that turn you off? That was also a decision!
You sound exactly like a homophobe. “They made that choice!”
- Comment on Will I become a bad person in a year? 2 days ago:
Look up “age of consent” laws. Several US states are pegged at 18. If you’re in Europe, almost always lower. And as others have said, most places have Romeo and Juliet laws, check that was well.
Morally? No problem.

Not clear. First they grabbed the wrong guy and let him go. Then the pigs said they had someone in custody. Then they said they released them, but it wasn’t clear if they meant the first or second person.
I’m betting they know nothing because the state setup an online tipline and is begging for info.

Sorry, that’s plain wrong. No one gets a choice as to what attracts or repels them.

Not interested in reimagined “retro”. If it’s not the original games, I don’t care.

It’s not really like that. You only hear about the crazy lawsuits because they are crazy. Local lawyer used to talk about this on the radio.
You don’t dare bring frivolous shit before a judge. For one, they’ll almost always refuse to hear the case, you lose. Two, you just made an ass of yourself in front of a judge who you will being standing in front of in the future. Three, keep pulling bullshit suits and you can get disbarred.
