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.

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?

He seems an adept shooter. I’d bet he was aiming for center mass like a good little sniper. But one can hardly ask the local range if he can practice from their sloping roof out to 250 yards.

Same country that has many state bans on boycotting Israel. This same country wants the mechahitler from an actual Nazi in charge?

That’s the joke. Old-school hunting rifles are far deadlier than an AR-15.

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!

Shooter was also aiming down, which is not a thing one can typically practice.

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.

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.

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

Somehow that book shakes me on each read. Not like I don’t know what to expect and if you described the plot to me it wouldn’t sound scary at all. But it is.

My wife does two days in the office and that sounds ideal to me. Really strange that lemmy generally sees zero benefits to the office.

For example, I went in to met a coworker and fix her laptop. While I was there the devs in front of me were discussing a thing that my team was working on. I didn’t know they needed that thing and they didn’t know we were working on it. I took new information back to my group.

While bullshitting with the tech support manager I learned some things about their policies and procedures. Found out I had made incorrect assumptions and learning about those helped me in my role.

We’re social animals y’all.
