Doesn't look good!!

Edit: Saw a closeup, he's 💯 dead. Jugular shot and it gushes like the Cool-Aid man shattered.

Edit 2: Fox is apparently reporting that he's admitted to the hospital, maybe he's a snowball that survived hell?

Edit 3: Mixed reporting on if the shooter has been arrested or not. A video showed an old bald white dude in custody.

Edit 4: Trump just had to be the one to announce it... He's dead. Apparently the old white dude was not the shooter. You can see from the distant video that people did not react to a close shooter, it was at distance.

I just hope it was painful and not that quick, hopefully he had enough time to reflect on his actions and realize why he is in the situation he is now before the lights go out.

    He had enough time to reach for his throat, so definitely enough time for a quick slideshow of his own life inside that awful cranium.

    Sadly instant. Almost certain that movement is autonomic posturing from his brainstem being plucked like a rose.

    quite the description

    but did you ever hear about that thing from the French reign of terror? Aline of people waiting to be guillotined agreed to blink for as long as they were able after being decapitated. Apparently they went on blinking for a minute? Maybe more? Hard to say how much of that was conscious, but it really makes me question most "instant" deaths.

    Yee thats very possible. On one hand i would think the force/cavitation of a bullet would be enough of a shock to scramble everything, but then again a 90lb blade on a track probably has more total energy and thats obviously not enough.

    That's honestly really interesting.

    I'm not sure it's entirely comparable as those people were expecting to be guillotined whereas ol Charlie wasn't expecting it. I doubt he had enough time to process what happened before the lights went out.

    No way he felt anything. Good chance it severed his spinal cord, also the sudden dramatic drop in blood pressure means you lose consciousness pretty much immediately. There are lots of people who faint when they stand up too fast.
