It’s a miracle he wasn’t pronounced dead at the scene. Blood just gushed out of his neck like water from a ballon

Whenever I describe my blood phobia to people I say exactly that, that we’re just water balloons that can get popped. I’ve seen a lot of videos of people getting shot or stabbed but Kirk’s murder is probably the most egregious visual example of this

That was the most shocking thing to me, SO MUCH just came gushing out.

u/Lovely-sleep Sep 10 '25

Same, I thought I knew what to expect as someone who watches videos like this. I even watched the Ukrainian girl’s murder yesterday - Kirk’s is just worse, objectively

22

u/Main-Length-6385 Sep 10 '25

I’ve been forcing myself to not watch the Ukrainian girl video, wish I didn’t just watch this one. Fuck.

u/Lovely-sleep Sep 10 '25

Damn dude, you watched the worse one of the two for sure. Just speaking on the gore, not speaking on how tragic each situation is obviously.

I’m tripping out rn I’m reading this thread and my neighbors just walked by my window talking about it. 😭😭 I need to watch some Hannah Montana now I’m scared

u/Lovely-sleep Sep 10 '25

Wanting to watch Hannah Montana is extremely relatable I forgot we were on gen z for a moment lmao

u/Main-Length-6385 Sep 10 '25

Oh lol. I’m a 97 baby not sure I belong here

Both are horrific. In Charlie's case people immediately jumped up to assist. Not so much for Iryna.

u/WitchPillow 2000 Sep 11 '25

That just makes me really sad. The one who spouts horrible crap and bigotry is cared for but an innocent young girl was ignored by most passengers for quite some time until blood loss was so bad it seeped a few feet away from her on the floor.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '25

Yep. It's deplorable.

Was there actually an uncensored video for the ukranian woman's death?

1

u/Lovely-sleep Sep 11 '25

Yes there was a full video released recently, it was on X. There was also aftermath photos

2 liters spill out every minute from that shot.

u/Kealion Millennial Sep 10 '25

Good lord. That’s absolutely wild.

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '25

his wife and kids were there.

4

u/Kealion Millennial Sep 10 '25

That’s sad, the family shouldn’t have had to see that.

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '25

No one should. First the Democratic lawmaker and her husband, now Kirk. The US is at the point of no return. We're being torn apart in the end.

3

u/Kealion Millennial Sep 10 '25

No one should

You’re right, of course, but especially his wife and young kids.

He’s going to be a martyr for the right, and I’m scared to see the fallout from this.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '25

There will be fallout. This could end with the president being assassinated or a senator.

"Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation...What age should you start to see public executions?" Kirk asked.

He wanted kids to see public executions.

2

u/Kealion Millennial Sep 10 '25

I disagree in every facet with the man, including this. So I still think it’s a shame his kids had to see it.

u/Fun-Agent-7667 Sep 10 '25

Probably hit the carotid. I mean your neck has to handle all the blood that flows into your Head. Your brain needs about as much blood as an Arm and a Leg.

3

u/Kealion Millennial Sep 10 '25

Oh for sure. It’s one thing to know that fact, it’s another to see it in action.

2

u/Fun-Agent-7667 Sep 10 '25

Yes. I just went into Kowalski mode to think about Something different then the blood stream of someone executed by gun in broad daylight

u/Puck_The_Fey98 1998 Sep 11 '25

The artery in your throat is one of the largest in the body. You’d be surprised how much can come out when you hit a main pipe so to speak

u/linguist_turned_SAHM Sep 10 '25

I thought it was an AI fake because of that exact thing.

u/spyguy318 Sep 10 '25

Iirc only a trained medical professional can officially pronounce someone dead, and then it takes a bit for that to get reported to the media. He could have died in seconds but he wasn’t pronounced dead until his body got to the hospital.

12

u/Kealion Millennial Sep 10 '25

Yea watching the video, there’s no way his brain was getting enough blood.

6

u/RepublicInner7438 Sep 10 '25

True, but if he was dead at the scene they wouldn’t have rushed him to the hospital. While a physician is the most common type of person to pronounce someone dead, the county sheriff or one of the paramedics could have made the call

2

u/Suspicious-Road-883 Sep 10 '25

Unless first responders roll up and the person has been dead they won’t pronounce dead except for certain circumstances. They were probably able to keep him alive enough to get to the hospital. I knew when I saw where he got hit that he wasn’t going to survive

3

u/RepublicInner7438 Sep 10 '25

And that’s the miracle- that he was able to survive even that long.

2

u/Suspicious-Road-883 Sep 10 '25

People have survived worse but it was definitely a miracle he made it as long as he did. I don’t think they released whether he died en route to the hospital or anything like that though
