    I can’t even tell if this has been edited lol.

    Hard to believe his face is that tiny.

    I guess that’s why the shooter aimed for the neck?

          The fact that 110% looks wrong, despite knowing it’s normal facial proportions, deeply unsettles me

          IMO 104% looks normal. 110% looks plausible, but makes his mouth look a bit big for his jaw. 100% looks completely implausible. The space between the eyes shouldn’t be smaller than the space from the eye to the side of the head.

            Yup 104% is the most human. Came to that conclusion when I found the site 2 days ago lmfao

            Dudes face looked way smaller than 96% of normal proportions though, but I don’t know how percentages work (if that 4% isn’t linear or something)

      He was wearing kevlar, and the shooter was likely aware of that, so head or neck were the only possible targets.

        The neck is never going to be a target. The fact he was hit in the neck means the shooter missed, but got lucky.

        Or the neck hit was more chance. There’s an assumption that the shooter hit precisely where he was aiming, but it could have just been where the bullet happened to hit, close to the amining point, but not exact.

          Had been for a long time, it’s almost standard for controversial public speakers in some circles

            Huh. First I’ve heard about it. Guess he knew the hate he was spreading was going to incite something.

            Even if so, nothing short of level 4 plates would have stopped a rifle round with that much energy. Handguns, sure, but he didn’t appear to be wearing a plate carrier.

      My theory as someone who isn’t a soldier or into killing people is that skulls can be pretty tough and a bullet at a slight angle could ricochet off. Ain’t nothing ricocheting off your neck. I think the shooter knew exactly what he was doing.
