What’s the source for “2 shots”?
- aaronbrethorst 2y agoit's a misremembering of a right-wing fever swamp conspiracy theory about the Clintons having people killed. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/nov/08/facebook-posts/decades-old-conspiracy-theories-about-vince-foster/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/nov/08/facebook-p... Fun fact: future SCOTUS Justice Brett Kavanaugh shows up as part of Ken Starr's independent counsel investigation. Yes, that Ken Starr.
- djfobbz 2y agoYou’ve got the wrong person, buddy! OP is referring to Gary Webb (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Webb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Webb), who died from two gunshot wounds to the head, with the death ruled a suicide.
- aoanevdus 2y agoAlthough in that case, it wasn’t the back of the head, and one of the shots appeared to be non-fatal. So a terrible way to go, but not implausible.
- orwin 2y agoWell, 'fun fact', it is entirely possible to miss yourself with the first bullet, only taking the face/jaw, and having to shoot a second time to cut out the pain. Another 'fun fact', in rural areas in my country, where most firearms are long rifles used to hunt big game, 'suicide' are ruled when someone else (young kids in all cases I've heard off) pull the trigger for the person who wanted to off himself. [Edit] And yes having a dozen cousins and aunts in healthcare, and another half a dozen being social workers means I have a lot of 'fun fact' to share.
