I saw the article on my home page so I clicked on it. Yes, they say, there was no exit wound through Charlie's neck which "would have killed people behind him." The 30.06 bullet which kills moose and elk couldn't penetrate Kirk's neck because his bone density is tougher than a moose's I guess. The bullet was retrieved under the skin says the coroner.
That's a miracle they claim and then the article goes on to make the claim that Kirk protected people even in his death and died with a smile on his face knowing he was going to heaven.
I am certainly not an expert on bone density so the claim that Kirk's bone density was such that it stopped a 30.06 bullet leads me to say, OK.
Jeffrey Epsten must have had weak bone density seeing as 3 bones in his neck were crushed from his strangulation, strike what I just posted, I mean crushed from his hanging.

(42,630 posts)Verbal arguments where he could shout somebody down and talk over them. He didnt really want any physical violence, but thats what he got. todays Christian soldiers are podcast freaks. They know they are safe from this particular fascist government

(29,873 posts)The priest at my church yesterday, practically gave a eulogy to Kirk for his sermon. He claimed that Kirk brought more young people to God in his 31 years than he could ever hope to do. Not shitting you, I have a Magat priest.

(4,161 posts)More than one page. It seemed to me that they were trying to make a case that saving bystanders was his first miracle on the way to sainthood.
I bet Cardinal Dolan would put him up for sainthood.

(516 posts)And you sat there and listened to it? One thing that really, really gets to me is the mention of anything political in church. I am lucky that I have only had that experience 1 or 2 times because I keep church and politics separate. I dont want to hear about politics from the pulpit and I dont want to hear about church from the politicians.

(2,701 posts)I experienced something similar years back. I was invited to a service by a student of mine.
The pastor went into a rant of how we should've nuked North Korea when we had the chance, blah, blah, blah.
Promoting genocide from the pulpit-another true Kkkristian.

(225 posts)The bullet ricocheted off the steel/titanium vest that Charlie was wearing, which slowed down the bullet, and went into his neck.

(29,873 posts)but the article said it was because of Kirk's bone density, according to the coroner.
Coldwater
(225 posts)The coroner didn't lie he just omitted some details,
Besides the shooter wasn't trying for a headshot he was aiming for the chest or center mass which any expert will tell you it's better than a headshot

(58,838 posts)I purposely avoided looking at violence I don't need to see, but I read analysis in various places.
No vest (I've seen pre-shot still photo). His shirt rose up in the turbulence of the air as a supersonic bullet passed nearby.

(2,534 posts)Reading up on hunting forums reveals that a 30.06 is effective for large game at ranges at least twice as far as from where CK was shot from. Some say that a 30.06 is overkill for a 200 yard shot.
eta: a more likely scenario if he was wearing some type of armor

(16,202 posts)(I won't post them, but if anyone wants to see how far a typical 30.06 would penetrate ballistic gellatin, youtube is full of such slow motion videos.)
It was a matter of very carefully choosing my words. It is very hard to believe, nearly but not quite an impossibility.

DetroitLegalBeagle
(2,433 posts)Seen it plenty in Iraq. But, a 30.06 to the neck should have absolutely gone straight through. There isnt enough mass in the neck to stop a bullet of that size. The deflection of body armor doesnt really work either. If he wore a low profile Kevlar vest, the bullet wouldn't have beem deflected, it would have zipped right through the Kevlar as Kevlar isnt rated for that caliber. He would have needed to have been wearing plates and it did not look like he was wearing a plate carrier under his tshirt.
So miracle..eh no. Just pure luck that the bullet did something weird. Or maybe it impacted on the tent pole and lost enough energy that way.

(2,320 posts)Just like the rwnj who was being interviewed by the BBC yesterday, trying to claim the shooter was a radical lefty something something something. The BBC reporter was pushing back, though.
