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.

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'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.
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.
The doctor added that Kirkβs "bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that heβs 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
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"
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.
More likely is hydrostatic shock knocked him out imo.
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
as someone on twitter said: "atheist teenagers wish they could be half as blasphemous as american believers"
There was no one behind him and the shooter took one shot, how would someone else have been killed?
Bro have you not seen how the shot moved around the car in the JFK assassination? Quantum bullets are out of control.
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.
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.
Maybe more fascists can perform the same miracle. We should absolutely try all of them.
What does this say about the Trump assassination attempt where that firefighter was killed?
Bullet fired WITH the shell casing. Impressive.
It's 65% more bullet!
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.
A guy who knows him said a doctor said he had a bulletproof neck? And this is national-level news to publish?
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?
Wow that's actually a real tweet. That is fuckin crazy.
LEAD BULLETS CAN'T MELT STEEL PEOPLE
Well at least his corpse was good for something
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
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.
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.
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?
