I believe that's R. Budd Dwyer; he's pulling a revolver out of that envelope just before shooting himself in the head.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 98 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Trump doing that would be dark?

we still joke how Hitler wasn't that bad, because by the end he killed Hitler.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The difference is that Dwyer did it on live television, in a highly publicized press statement. Cameras didn't cut away.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump doing that would be so memeable though.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd buy a t-shirt for every unique camera angle.

Hope there is a slowmo hi res version.

Would make amazing album art

There was another recent shooting that was caught on camera and was being meme'd before the end of the day.

He would never do that, he’s too narcissistic. Let the copious amounts of Filet o Fish and lack of vegetables do him in. I’m sure that would be a lot more painful and miserable than an instant gunshot.

[–] frog@feddit.uk 42 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't want him to die. I want him to be convicted, to be humiliated, and to suffer in prison.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

And then die in prison

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, but I would settle for it

[–] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

It might be fast food. It might be ending civilization in a nuclear firestorm. Guess we're gonna find out!

Narcissists commit suicide at a much greater rate than the general population, and it's a good thing they do. They're saving a bit of work for the rest of society. I'd be okay with sterilisation, but I won't complain about one less mentally ill monster on the streets.

[–] Bonson@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

A narcissist feels that no one else should have the honor of killing them other than themselves. A true narcissist death.

[–] DesolateMood@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the dark part is that the punchline is a man who killed himself on live television

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I will be disappointed if Trump dosent die infornt of a camera.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

Dunno. I'd be satisfied if he died on his own, forgotten, abandoned, somewhere cold and dark.

[–] HereIAm@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know anything about him or why he shot himself, but I remember it looked like he felt bad for scaring the the people in the room with the gun, and so quickly finished it off.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He was a politician who was caught having accepted a bribe, basically, which seems bizarrely mundane today.He said something to the effect of "Don't look, this will affect you" before he did it, too... petty self-aware for someone who's about to kill themselves in front of a crowd.

Edit: The wikipedia article actually has it in there.

After he had finished speaking and handing out the notes to his staffers, Dwyer grabbed a manila envelope and drew a Model 19 .357 Magnum revolver from it, causing others to panic. Dwyer backed up against the wall, holding the weapon close to his body, and said, "Please, please leave the room if this will — if this will affect you."

[...]

Several people in the room pleaded with Dwyer to surrender the gun or tried to approach him and seize the weapon. Dwyer warned against either action, saying as his last words: "This will hurt someone". Dwyer then killed himself with a single shot through the roof of the mouth. His death was recorded by at least five running news cameras.
