    Yeah I'm not sure he's dead yet, but the shot was pretty on point.

    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.

    Reuters reporting his death now. Suspect not yet apprehended.

    Given the footage, it would be a miracle if he survived - that's a severe amount of blood loss within seconds.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Is that literally the last thing that happened before the shot?

    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.
