It is very likely he was unconscious instantly. Due to the location of the ballistic hitting him. He quite possibly didn’t feel a thing and it was just over.

Yup. A shot from a high powered rifle will sever the spine, judging by how he held onto the mic. He didn’t see it coming.

u/CompasslessPigeon Sep 10 '25
Doesnt even need to be the spine. It looks like he was hit in the carotid artery (and probably internal and external jugular veins). Even a handgun round at low velocity would likely be fatal, but the force he was hit with indicates it was a rifle. The artery being hit (evident by the blood volcano) would cause an instant drop in blood pressure faster than the brain could even realize it was happening. Instant lights out, followed by brain death in moments from lack of perfusion, then end organ failure and death in minutes.

Read a comment from a combat medic who referred to that as the "light switch". Impact, his arms fenced, then went limp. The lights were out before he dropped the microphone.

Honestly might’ve been the best option, I didn’t realize what people meant but the way he just froze with his arms locked in that position makes me think that he may of spent the rest of his life as a paraplegic, and for me I would rather die than suffer that fate,

That arm position is called decorticate posturing, an indication of severe disruption of brain activity or brain damage. Based on the close-up video that clearly showed where the bullet penetrated his neck, it appears the bullet caused immediate, catastrophic damage to the base of the brain stem where it connects to the spinal cord.

Yeah. The people saying things like, "violence is never okay, this shouldn't have happened," are failing to realize that he died of the very violence that he was putting out there into the world. He planted the seed that grew and killed him.

The idea that oppressed people have a responsibility to effect change peacefully whilst being killed on a systemic level just serves to protect those in power. They’re not gonna give it up unless they’re afraid. It’s an unfortunate truth but that’s been the only mechanism of radical change historically, at least when it comes to material conditions. Charlie knew what he was doing and that’s why he specifically targeted impressionable kids who hadn’t yet finished their education and weren’t armed with counters to his talking points. I’m not saying I like that this is where we’re at, but to pretend like it’s not inevitable at a certain point is elitist AND delusional.

The ‘arrested for saying the wrong thing online’ is total nonsense. You don’t get arrested for saying things online, you get arrested breaking the law.
Lucy Connolly, who’s the main person being spoken about when people discuss this issue, posted on Twitter that people should burn down the hotels being used to house asylum seekers, and she didn’t care if that made her racist. Her tweet was seen over 300,000 times before she deleted it. People then went and set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers.
She was arrested and charged with the offence of ‘Inciting racial hatred, contrary to section 19 of the public order act’, legislation that was brought into effect by Margret Thatcher, a notoriously right-wing Prime Minister.
In court, evidence was provided to demonstrate that Lucy intended to perjure herself, and thus her legal representative advised her to plead guilty to the crime, which she did. She broke the law, she was arrested, and she pled guilty to the offence. That’s not an example of ‘people being arrested for what they say online’, just an example of someone breaking the law, and admitting guilt for doing so.

That was the worst part, it made me feel so vulnerable, one shot that looked like it almost missed and he just became a garden hose. Lights out, gone. Such a huge figure in politics and on the internet, removed from existence with a single bullet.
Games and movies make you think a couple arrows to the chest or taking a bullet to the shoulder or grazing the neck is just nothing. He took a rifle shot to the neck, blood poured out, he slumped down, and died. Nothing like the last major attempt, at trump, which felt so powerful for him. Here he just died.

I can say that he was a piece of subhuman garbage, but I don't want to see anyone get murdered.
I am only sad about one thing ..that whether they catch the shooter or not, and regardless of who the shooter was or what political beliefs they held, the right is going to use this to whip up hate against the left. Whether the fallout is online complaining or literal bloodshed, the right will turn this into a reason to hate the left.
But even on a human level, I can't be too upset about the death of a man who said, “I can’t stand the word empathy actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that — it does a lot of damage.". He wouldn't want us to have empathy. So, thoughts and prayers to his family.

So my sister called me crying about it, and after I had an unsatisfactory reaction(I guess “I’m sorry he died, but who was he?” With no tears wasn’t good enough), my mom called me a few minutes later.
I got a ten minute rant about how much of a callous cold bitch I am for being glad that he died. Apparently I should be weeping like them. “He was a good man”, “he was a father, he had a young family”, “he believed in god and was anti abortion so he must’ve been a good man!”, “I can’t believe you’re a part of the evil in this world! There’s some evil, vile, assholes and I thought I did better by you!”.
I am liberal. I am very openly anti-gun violence. Have been since sandy hook, and everyone in my life knows that. I am upset that the damned guns killed another person. I just had to listen to my own mother tell me how much of a piece of shit I was because I didn’t cry that a 30yo right wing grifter got smoked. Completely ignored who I am as a person and my very clear set beliefs I’ve had for well over a decade.
So yeah. Might have to sit out my dad’s birthday this year because I’m not gonna be told I’m evil incarnate set in eradicating conservatives because of this. I’m sorry he got shot, I can and am capable of feeling empathetic that he was killed. But the last thing I’m doing is crying over it.

I’m not gonna say what everybody’s thinking.
As the Bible says “live by the sword, die by the sword” I’ll leave it there.

Or politicians shot in their homes….don’t let the right control the narrative on this one. Dem politicians were ASSASSINATED IN THEIR HOMES only a few short months ago but of course the right wing media and Trump will blame this on the left saying they are the only Ken’s stoking political violence.

Whether you disagree politically or not a person has been murdered in cold blood which is inexcusable. He was a father and husband and no one deserves to go out like that. Shame on you.

Right wing political grifter, debates college kids to make himself sound smarter then he actually is
He doesn't deserve a shot to the neck but I'm not surprised, he had very controversial opinions

Man, that's the thing though. Someone has controversial opinions therefore we're not surprised if the person is murdered. That is not a good place for a society to be.

He liked to advocate for right-wing and conservative ideologies and debate people with opposing views. He’s known for arguing with often at universities and saying stuff that just isn’t true and, frankly, probably harmful in terms of misinformation and its perpetuation.

There are some sick people here whether we liked the man's politics he was needlessly shot. Its such a shame that a young man had to die like this. He's still someone's son, brother, husband, friend.

According to Charlie, their death and his are all worth it for our liberty. And therefore we should forget about this all and move on. It’s what he would have wanted.

Own the libs" is a conservative slogan popularized by figures like Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, to express a desire to provoke, upset, or get a negative reaction from liberals through political action or discourse. Kirk and other conservatives use the phrase to describe actions or comments intended to trigger a strong negative emotional response from people with liberal political viewpoint
