        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 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"?

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

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

        AP "Live Updates" has 45 reporting that he has died.  Waiting for The Guardian update.
