Was that the fencing response? It kind of looked like it was just lights out instantly.

I'm not a medical professional, but I've seen breakdowns of similar wounds. I think this can be compared to being shot in the heart. It creates a massive blood pressure increase that my guess in this case causes the brain to react with fencing. I've read that the pressure spike can be the cause of death before blood even leaves the body. Either that or some side effect of damaging the brain stem.

The more I watch it the more I think it was instant lights out. Like the spinal cord was probably cut as well as the carotid. Never heard of fencing response but I just read up and yea I think you might be right.

I wonder if it was a missed headshot?

Almost certainly. It was an intentional shot, you don't aim for the neck. Either the shooter was aiming for the heart or the head, and missed. But mission still accomplished.

I didn't ask to see the video in my social media feed but I did. I don't care what his views are, it's hard to watch a person suffering and in pain.

That nice of a shot can only be the work of one man

Looks like the host is down. I get ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED.
