Of course, but the shooter wasn't mentally ill, he was evil. It was evil that drove him to gun down his coworkers in cold blood, he couldn't possibly have been mentally ill.

The answer, of course, is prayer.

I'm not sure what that is, but it ain't a Ma Deuce. Looks like the Soviet equivalent, though.

Except, y'know, the huge nerd is a psychopath who kills and tortures people, so nobody's going to call him on the fact that he's clearly compensating for something.
Or more likely, that.

Only sane people question their sanity, and all that.

Also I clicked the link to see what all the fuss was about, and apparently it's been changed, because now it cuts off when he raises the gun. I don't doubt that it originally showed the full video, because, well, that's what the news does, Don Henley wasn't lying.

Jesus christ, the video that the shooter posted on twitter is hosed up. He's just standing right there with a gun in his hand, waiting for the cameraman to pan back to the journalist.

I can't help myself from watching videos like this but when he first pointed the gun and they didn't see it, it was loving chilling.

Suffocation and burning are the two things that won't let me sleep when my mind decides it's time to wander down the road of "let's list the ways I don't want to die". God drat it brain, I'm trying to get to sleep.

Suffocation like the type that killed her isn't that bad. As you run out of oxygen you essentially get lightheaded and pass out, then die while unconscious. Pretty painless, which is why the garage + running car is a popular method of suicide.

Now drowning, that's one that keeps me up at night, especially living near the ocean. Mother nature doesn't gently caress around.

Also yeah fire is horrifying.

It is true though. It's not the lack of O2 that makes you panic and your brain go OHFUCK, it's the buildup of CO2.

CO2 suffocation is a very painful way to go. You're probably getting it confused with something like carbon monoxide or pretty much anything other than CO2, where you just kind of pass out because your body can't detect the gas.

I think LSD has a ceiling effect. Only so much will affect you and everything else would be excreted without any effect. That said you'd think your face was melting off and your brain would most likely be semi-permanently fried.

Maybe it would kill you though. A gallon would be hundreds of thousands (millions) of hits at once?

The only known death from LSD was someone who injected an absolutely colossal dose iirc. An active LSD dose is something like 75 micrograms

You can fatally overdose on LSD, it just takes absolutely ludicrous amounts of it. In the 70s some people snorted lines of acid (a normal dose is invisible to the human eye) and had life-threatening effects. They survived with medical care but probably would have died if they didn't get to the hospital

Huh, interesting:



"Treatment was entirely supportive" - does that mean they were just supervised?

Reddit seems to think it was a x3,500 overdose. Man, I bet those people saw things.

They were probably powerfully tripping, but the text itself says most don't remember anything after inhaling the lines, and that sounds about right with the awful symptoms they were experiencing.

LSD does actually raise seizure risk in people who are prone to seizures, and cmon man, your friends mellow is gonna be harshed when they see you thrashing around.

Yeah, I was watching the PPV where that happened. They didn't show the actual accident (broadcast feed was still pre-match banter from the announcers, they were getting ready to cut over to the ring iirc) but you could tell it was bad and everyone on the show that night was upset but trying to stay in character.

These events are also on a small delay, so they do have a small window to switch feeds before something heinous goes over the air. There was no footage of the ring shown until after Owen had been taken away by the ambulance and everything cleaned up.

Also he actually died at the hospital, so they were not excessively callous in continuing the show.
