Looks like they got the aorta. (Actually got the carotid or jugular, but leaving it up since I already got replies)

I froze the video. It looks like the neck. At first, I thought he was shot in chest due to the location of the blood.

I know. I was wrong. I was basing on the blood spewing out, but the blood was pumping downward.

I'm seeing report say blood is AI. I haven't looked and I'm not going to. I'll let written postings sort it out. . nt

Isn't he the entitled whiner white guy who said "I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage"

I'm sure the mortician will be able to fix it right up with wax and spackle. Nobody will even notice.

If it's a Republican, you won't know. The media makes sure to downplay that.

You tripped over yourself ignoring Republicans, who are actually trying to kill millions, to point fingers for "hoping"?

Not in this case. I can look at Saddam, Qadaffi, even stepping back to Mussolini

Of course in that tweet, Charlie frames it as simply "the second amendment' banner.

Wow. He looked(s) young, too. He probably would have been a future rightwing evil leader.

This is clearly the kind of country Republicans want (including Kirk himself), so I couldn't give less of a fuck.
