The attempted assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is drawing condemnation across the board for the shooter's inability to hit a giant target.

The last I heard he actually died, though.

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 60 points 1 day ago

What I heard is:

  • 200 yards
  • 1 round expended
  • 1 dead
  • no collateral damage

Sounds like a pretty competent assassination to me.

Gotta get maga back on his side and forget about Epstein somehow.

It's definitely what he would've wanted. Trust me, bro. Release the unaltered Epstein files for ol' bobbledead Chuckie Kirk.

200 yards is like newbie training though

[-] PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Oh yeah, how many people have you killed at 200 yards?

Listen here you little shit, I'll have you know.....

I don't feel like searching for it, but I think that pasta ends in with Vaporeon being the most compatible blah blah blah.

I looked it up for ya!

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3”03’ tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they’re large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it’d be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white. Vaporeon is literally built for human dick. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more

Can only get better from here!

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Plugging somebody in a single shot like that is not easy to do.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Not to mention getting away with it so far

[-] thisguyfucks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

If you're aiming center mass with a rifle from a supported position, yeah it really is. Obviously you need to know how to shoot a little but one day of training most could hit a human-size target from 200m decently reliably.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

It's not whether we could, it's would you? This man or woman stepped up and took out the trash. Hero in my book.

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 39 points 1 day ago

Yeah. I actually watched the video of him being shot and the statements about him being in "critical condition" were clearly just "we don't want to admit he's dead yet." Not a video for the faint of heart. The shot blew open his neck arteries, I've never seen a fountain of chunky salsa like that in a real-life video before. And he instantly went into the "fencing response" pose, which is also a terrible sign in its own right even without the blood fountain. There were medical professionals commenting over on Reddit that if he'd been shot like that while he was lying on an operating table with a team of surgeons standing around him ready to get to work he still wouldn't have made it.

And he instantly went into the “fencing response” pose

That was what stood out to me the most. Just blood? Someone could poke a finger into that and mitigate the lethality by a ton. But the involuntary response to sudden pain is put your hands on it and guard it... Kirk's hands raised a bit, then kinda just flopped, which has me wondering if that bullet went in through the carotid and then blew his fucking spinal cord in half. Total loss of motor control.

...pretty sure that also means he shat and pissed himself on the way down.

This is the correct way to address Nazis.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[-] philosloppy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

the fencing response is the result of brain stem trauma, not pain.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

That's what I'm getting at - the bullet hole causes a lot of pain, and he didn't react to that in a normal way. The way is arms lifted slightly and just kinda stopped screamed neurologic damage. Even if they had stopped the bleeding a millisecond after he was hit, he'd have still been fucked.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Watched it? Shit I fuckin downloaded it.

Edit: agreed with those medical professionals. He would've been dead in less than 2-3 minutes even with the best surgical team in the country. That shit was like Tarantino levels of blood.

[-] hexdream@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I'm so out of the loop these days. Where is a source to watch/ download the video uncensored?

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago

I saw it on X via a link from Reddit, but when I check that X link now it's been taken down. Bastion of free speech and all.

[-] hexdream@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Ah. I have not been on x since before it transitioned.
