| I strongly disagree with Charlie Kirk, but doctors pronounce him dead, not the media or Wikipedia. Edit: it's official, he's dead (it wasn't confirmed when I originally posted this). Condolences to his wife and small kids. |

| I'm not seeing that death date. And history shows that even traditional news outlets can be badly wrong in the immediate aftermath of a shooting. James Brady didn't die in 1981 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Brady#Shooting - even with "all major media outlets" (per Wikipedia) saying that he did. |

| ▲ | hnpolicestate 5 days ago | parent [-] | | It was an absolutely brutal video to watch. I agree. Even with the absolute best field first aid, EMS and surgical response, arterial bleeding I think has a 60% survival rate? Again, if everything goes perfectly, timed perfectly etc. |

| ▲ | cloudfudge 5 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Kirk's wikipedia page is currently abuzz with edits and reversions of those edits, many of which are pronouncing him dead. | | |
| ▲ | rkomorn 5 days ago | parent [-] | | I'm convinced there are people whose first thought when someone dies is to race to update Wikipedia for some definition of clout. I find it weird, at best. | | |
