A man attacked the husband of congresswoman Nancy Pelosi with a hammer, almost killing him. Charlie Kirk laughs about it. He says anyone who bailed out the attacker would be a great patriot (files.catbox.moe)

Did you know that snipers can and do purposely aim for the neck? So that instead of a fast painless death, the targets suffocates on their blood!

The more you know

It's not "suffocate on their blood"; it's that there's a vital artery on the neck. Hitting it means the target is pretty much already dead.

Yea, the target is not going to die from asphyxiation but from blood loss? I guess, I was ambiguous on that? Any sort of lethal bleeding injury is gonna take less than 30 mins
