Obviously the guy was so full of hardened shit that the bullet just couldn't find its way out.
-
That poor bullet, suffering like that
-
-
Holy shit these people are insane
Like actually insane and unreasonable
-
I think they're just fucking stupid.
Not uneducated people with critical thinking skills.
Just actually, really, super fucking dumb. There is no nuance to them. Everything is black and white and only happens one way. Life is straight forward, and its hell the whole time. That's it. That's the end.
-
I've been calling MAGA a mental illness for a decade. Everything they have done, and continue to do, indicates severe logical corruption in every sense of the word, and it's transmissible through propaganda.
That's why the USA is cooked, for generations, and is damn near guaranteed to experience civil war &/or Christian fascist dictatorship before anything gets better. There's no coming back from a mental illness epidemic affecting a double digit percentage of the population.
-
Covid seemed like it was going to be a quick filter, but I always forget how idiot sandwiches like to impress their idiocy forcefully upon others
-
-
The media and reporters? I know. Since forever they have been this way. Lunatics all of them
-
-
The doctor added that Kirk’s "bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that he’s like the man of steel. It should have just gone through and through. It likely would have killed those standing behind him too."
Do people really believe these fairy tales? It's the same absurd rhetoric they use regarding Trump. Reminds me of the rhetoric North Korea uses about Kim Jong Un
-
Shame his skin wasn't so he'd miraculusly get Bismarck'd by his
war medalsskin
-
-
God made sure only Charlie Kirk was killed. It's as if God smote Charlie in the middle of a crowd, in the middle of saying hate, and spared the onlookers.
Yeah, I don't think that's a good thing for fans of Charlie.
-
Except any time you point out inconsistencies in their beliefs they'll just wave it off with "goD wOrkS In mYsTerIoUs wAyS"
-
They have belief without evidence. And a Sky Daddy. They don't need logic or reason
-
Fucking Biden! /s
-
-
It was gods will. Clearly.
-
gOd HaS a pLaN!
-
-
I bet the bullet hit his spine. Hence the immediately floppy dead. As opposed to being due to the blood loss.
-
Yeah to me it looked like he had a fencing response, which can accompany head/spine injuries. Wouldn't be surprised if the bullet hit his upper spine or ricocheted into the base of his skull or something.
-
The hydrostatic shock likely would have pulverized his brain stem on a hit like that. It wouldn't have to direct hit the spine.
-
-
More likely is hydrostatic shock knocked him out imo.
-
That would make some sense, but I'm doubtful about the bullet caliber. I've seen what 30-06 does to large game, and it very rarely stops even when hitting bone. Especially if he was shot with a hunting round (which are designed to flare out and dump energy) we would have seen a truly massive exit wound.
-
Sounds like God really wanted him dead.
-
That caliber bullet does not care about his spine. Honestly his head should have exploded.
-
I noticed his head went in the same direction the bullet entered, you would think his head would go away from where the bullet entered so maybe it did hit the spine and cause the head to push forward.
-
This is an extremely famous phenomenon in ballistics, popularized by the JFK assasination. Penn and Teller even did a breakdown of why this happens at one point. It's pretty interesting to look into!
-
-
-
He was dense
-
Is this why his face was so small? The density?
-
It was a visual indicator of the thickness of his skull.
-
That certainly explains a lot
-
-
He was full of shit. Very dense and highly concentrated shit.
-
-
as someone on twitter said: "atheist teenagers wish they could be half as blasphemous as american believers"
-
they are going to try and make him a fuckin Saint? I wonder which white nationalist religious wacko will try to have him canonized ....
-
I saw some Republicans in Congress were calling him the 13th disciple of Jesus. There's definitely an attempt to infuse religion into the mythology being constructed around him.
-
If I was a Christian I'd be pissed at that
-
I believe this is called "heresy" if evangelicals and NARs and the rest actually cared about that.
-
The holy book about his last moments will be based on Ayn Rand
"The fountainkirk"
-
-
He saw the people before him were thirsty and so He performed the miracle of becoming a fountain. Truly inspiring.
-
The miracles must be performed AFTER death. He didn't die instantly.
-
-
I think it's much more likely that the governmnet lied about the caliber of the bullet than this guy's neck stopped a 30-06.
-
They lied, unless the bullet decided to magically turn left and become a smaller caliber then the official line is bogus.
It is probably one of those multiple shooters situations with a patsy that may even believe they did it.
-
-
There was no one behind him and the shooter took one shot, how would someone else have been killed?
-
Lol look at this loser who can't even curve his own shots.
-
-
Charlie Kirk was filled with a huge amount of methane under pressure. You could hear it when he opened his mouth.
Luckily everyone in the crowd could smell it once he popped a leak and high tailed it out of there.
The crowd dodged a bullet...
-
Maybe more fascists can perform the same miracle. We should absolutely try all of them.
-
That's not what happened in the video I watched, in the og version he was all like gurkgurlgurlk dead af. Soft baby neck bitch got throat fucked gooood, and he was always shitting on gays it's so ironic.
-
What does this say about the Trump assassination attempt where that firefighter was killed?
-
A guy who knows him said a doctor said he had a bulletproof neck? And this is national-level news to publish?
-
anything goes when you are in a cult
-
-
He's so brave for checks notes getting shot, and not dodging the bullet, lest someone behind him get hit.
-
Thank you Charlie Kirk, for your sacrifice, and saving the people behind him. What a guy.
If many more conservatives also want to do the same and be like Charlie, that would win me over.
-
There wasn't even anyone behind him was there?
-
-
Well we all saw a man turned into a fountain.
If that's not a miracle, I don't know what is.
-
of course his neck was super thick, how else could it support that massive dome?
-
uhh...I have the video. That thing absolutely came out the other side...explosively.
-
He was also 1,000% not shot from the front. It's fucking insane that they're claiming this in light of so many videos. The exit wound was downward from the left side of his neck, along with all his blood. Did it take a 90+ degree turn? Why didn't we see it go in from the front? Feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
-
Do you have any relevant experience? Maybe your guesses about how things should work are simply wrong, and that's causing your problems.
Watch what happens when a bullet is fired through ballistic gel. It's not some simple thing where a hard thing goes in one side and stuff comes out the other side.
Why didn't we see it go in from the front? A rifle bullet travels at hundreds of metres per second. It's not easy to see it while it is in motion unless you're using a slow motion camera.
-
The wound you saw was the entry wound. Blood gushing from the entry wound is very common. According to a relative who is a forensic pathologist.
There isn't any forensic doubt on how he was shot. The shooter was in front of him. How we are expecting gun shots and blood splatter patterns to behave is rather misinformed by movies and games.
-
-
-
Well at least his corpse was good for something
-
It gave us some dank ass memes
-
Wasn't he shot the neck instead of the ass?
-
-
-
Wow that's actually a real tweet. That is fuckin crazy.
-
LEAD BULLETS CAN'T MELT STEEL PEOPLE
-
Yeah you know.. If you're bragging about your gods miracles, maybe you should make sure that the miracle performed at least better than a bullet proof vest?
Like, literally, humans have a better track record at stopping bullets BEFORE THEY GO INSIDE YOUR BODY than your god who could only be arsed to stop said bullet on its way out...
In all seriousness though, this is perfectly normal. Depending on bullet weight, speed, distance it traveled, materials it has hit on its way in, materials it has hit inside, it might leave the body, stay inside, maybe hit a bone and change trajectory completely, etc.
Nothing miraculous to see here
-
Maybe if his supporter sucked each others dicks this hard while he was alive, maybe they wouldn't have been so miserable now he is gone.
-
They are just salty about the Saint Luigi memes
-
They misspelled holey
-
It's like super man because like a comic book, this narrative is likely fiction.
It's worth looking into at least at a superficial level what 30.06 cartridge does to humanoid test dummies. It's practically impossible that Kirk was hit by a 30.06 round without complete painting that entire tent red.
-
.30-06 round weighing 180 grains leaves a 24" barrel at about 2,700 feet per second, which gives it a kinetic energy of around 2,900 ft-lbf. With this much energy, that round, if full metal jacketed, will reliably penatrate 20+ inches of ballistic gelatin, a common substitute for animal muscle tissue, and if that round is a hollow point it will reliably penatrate 16+ inches of ballistic gelatin. My neck is about 7 inches thick as an average size person. Unless a person has a cervical spine made of titanium and Kevlar, and/or are just about 4 times as dense as your average Joe, an impact by a typical hollow point .30-06 round with that speed and energy in the human neck region would most often decapitate, or nearly so, and a full metal jacketed round would easily pass clean through. In contrast, the handguns carried by many police officers, the Glock .40 S&W, firing a 180 grain round out of a 4" barrel scoots along at about 1,000 feet per second, having a muzzle energy of about 400 ft-lbf, this being the defacto gold standard for killing human beings. .30-06 is quite literally a round made for war, and is typically used to hunt large game, as it has a tendency to completely and thoroughly rapidly disassemble smaller game into unusable sized chunks.
Nothing is impossible, but not all things are likely.
-
a full metal jacketed round would easily pass clean through
"Clean through" is not as clean as it might sound. It would probably pass through and out the back without leaving a gaping hole, but the damage it would do to tissues as it went through would be devastating. Take a look at a FMJ handgun bullet going through ballistics gel:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hlXg_H5Jr4g
If that hit someone's neck, it might do huge amounts of damage to all the tissues there, and even though they'd snap back to roughly the same place, there would be a lot of damage. If that went through some arteries, there would be a lot of new routes for that blood to flow, and the blood is under a lot of pressure so...
-
Yeah, we all seen it pass easily through his saint neck.
-
-
-
I encourage every Republican to get a .22 and try this on their head. I have faith in their ability to stop the bullet from exiting their skull.
-
The body has ways of shutting this down.
-
If their faith is strong enough, the bullet won't even break skin!
-
Just build up a resistance with 9mm first.
-
-
-
There wasn't even anyone standing behind him he was on a stage, standing between two other people but there was no one behind him.
-
Well, he literally died for their sins after all
-
MAN OF STEEL
So was that all fluid rust that came squirting out of him, then?
-
I saw this moronic take on the Facebook of the most maga person I know. It was very hard to ignore as were all her stupid takes in the last week.
-
-
Well, I guess it's a good thing the bullet hit him first, then?
Seriously. What is the appropriate take-away here?
-
If only they could tell us which other conservative chuds are bullet sponges so we can put them in schools to stop shootings there.
-
-
...contrary to JFK who couldn't stop the bullet from hitting that guy in the front seat. Take that, democrats!
-
Evangelicals are gonna declare him the only saint lol
-
Was concrete really poured over the site of his shooting?
The bullshit around this is so thick it's hard to know what's what
-
Did Charles Kirk incite stochastic trerrorism?
-
Too bad he wasn't the "man of streel" on the other side, I guess?

Calling a person that literally got a hole shot through them a "man of steel" has to be the most perfect microcosm of Fox's entire reporting style, lmao.
"Compelling evidence of XYZ actually PROOF of Not-XYZ upon closer inspection"
