That really lightened the mood.
What is this actually a picture of? I don’t get the joke.
R. Budd Dwyer
This is wild to read in 2025. It sounds like the case against him was legitimate because the case wasn’t able to be repealed, but most people today would barely blink at a no-bid contract finance bribe. We’re living in a post-shame world.
And I only know about this man from the press conference/suicide sections of this article, but he seemed intelligent and empathetic. Even if he was guilty of bribery, it’s tragic that he took his life.
Holy shit that’s nuts. The video is on archive.org if you’re crazy enough to look it up.
Pretty sure it’s the guy who offed himself on camera because of some politics stuff, I think involving a bribe
That was back when politicians actually felt shame.
Was it shame, or the system actually holding corrupt politicians accountable? I miss those days.
And all he did was take a bribe to give a sweetheart deal to a tech company.
Today’s politicians do more criminal shit than that before they’ve had breakfast!!
I actually thought he did it so the family wouldnt lose anything. Since he never resigned wouldnt the family also have received benefits from his death. Maybe im wrong, but I felt like I read that a while back.
This happens in the developing world on occasion, with the assumption is that insurance pays out to the family. I’m 99% sure doing the deed yourself means it doesn’t pay out at all. Tragic all the way down.
Hey man, nice shot
What a good shot man.
This is the classy shit I love to see.
What a nice shot man.
I said hey man nice shot
That’s why I say hey man nice shot.
Good shot, man
This is an amazing video on what happens to a human after the shot to the head. Massive exit of blood through the nose. I haven’t watched it in years but it’s burned into my memory
Is what happens when you aren’t very aware of anatomy and run the risk of actually not hitting the brain.
The ‘gun under the chin’ method can lead you to shoot out your nose and eyes, but still survive. Now if there’s a gusher you’d probably hit the brain enough. But ear to ear is way more likely to actually instantly kill you.
Good to know, thank you!
Id say ‘happy to help’, in this case in happy to spread knowledge
You can’t imagine how helpful you’ve been!
Same when shot in the neck.
You’re right. Kirk video was equally fascinating
I’m unsure he was shot. I think a blood vessel in his neck burst from him just being so full of hate and bullshit /s
You are both wrong. Nothing happened to his neck. After he finished pushing equality, tolerance, women’s and civil liberties for the day, he met up with his trans girlfriend and sadly, overdosed on fentanyl later that night. Rest In Power, king.
Glad MAGA isn’t on Lemmy. They would be coming after your job and family for that one! 🤣
Same with the guy in the FBI training video where a guy gets put in an interrogation room without being frisked. He takes a drink of water, puts the cap back on the bottle, pulls out a .45, bangs his temple, and the nose just gushes blood like a fire hydrant.
don’t threaten me with good time
threatens you with a tickle fight
Haven’t heard an r budd dryer joke since Opie and Anthony days.
The classics return
I’ve seen a few, you just gotta take a shot at it. 🤷
wow didn’t know about this guy till I read the stuff here. The politicians’ threshold for feeling shame / fear of punishment sure has gone down the drain.
Hahahaha this is the kind of dark humor I love. 🖤
Budd, no!
Hello sir, superb discharge of your revolver.
maybe one day that’ll happen
