Sorry I don't have Wikipedia memorized
Ah, the meaning of my comment went straight over your head and you resort to throwing insults around.
I'll spell it out then: The fact that the first shot merely went through his mouth, from one cheek to the other makes it entirely possible, even probable, that Gary Webb commited suicide. Even his ex-wife said so:
Spreading unfounded, exaggerated conspiracy theories while not even getting the facts straight isn't helping anyone but the perpetrators, especially when the CIA actually did commit some atrocious crimes that can be cited by stating facts instead of fiction.
The idea that someone trying to commit suicide would shoot themselves through the cheeks implies a truly staggering level of incompetence. The whole point of shooting yourself in the head is to have a quick and painless death. Shooting random holes in your body first is the opposite of that.
Pretty sure this meme refers to when someone finds the slightest, most irrelevant technicality so they can say you're wrong. You're just straight up incorrect here in a way that's directly applicable to the thread. There's nothing wrong with that, everyone gets shit wrong.
