4. True, but I viewed him as dead as soon as I saw the close up video.

Tough to survive something like that unless you are already on the operating table when it happens.

I didn't see the video.
So he looked dead right after the shooting?

Left/left center side of neck.

Immediate and massive gush of blood. Probably carotid artery.

Posturing immediately.

Airway compromise.

Probable spinal hit as well.

He was dead on the scene or close to it.
Too many serious injuries.

I once witnessed a motorcyclist killed after his bike crashed out of control some distance from my car.
He immediately went into decerebrate posturing and was dead at the scene.
Traffic was stopped so many people saw it and knew what it meant.

The man has created an atmosphere of division and violence everyday for the last 9 years.
