Honestly it depends on what sort of ammo and where he was shot. Head wounds usually just gush everywhere but a shot that does not exit the body but stops the heart quick sometimes bleeds very little especially if the wound ends facing up when the body hits the floor.

I think that Putin knows that he is engaged in a proxy war with the United States in Syria and that the US Public does not want to be engaged in this war, in fact the US Public would like to see our army in this fight be obliterated because they are a mixture of ISIS and al-Qaeda, and there never even WERE any ‘moderate jihadis.’

Works for me. Just so long as they do it covertly.

If you watch the video of the shooting, you will see that the ambassador is speaking, is knocked backwards by the force of the shots (appears to be in the chest area) and falls over immediately. He was a heavy man wearing a suit jacket, and I doubt by that the blood even had much chance to spread out. The attacker comes back and points the gun at him again while he is lying behind the podium, but I can’t tell whether he fires or not.

I'm channeling Hillary now . . . . . .

This horrific act is clearly in response to cowardly, reprehensible and irresponsible statements by the president of the United States, who blamed Russia for computer hacking, even as the organization releasing the information, denies the source was Russia.

If the bullet stays in body, very little external bleeding.

That is going to leave a mark. Turkey is going to have to make serious amends over this.

A) I don’t want to grow a pair. I like my gonads internal.

B) I meant, Trump knows the intrigue BEHIND this so he has to respond a certain way, to show the American people (those who get it) both that he can perform the superficial task of responding with appropriate words to the assassination but also to say something that hints that he understands what is really going on.

Instead of just superficial lies like we are used to getting.

And he has done VERY WELL so far at being that kind of delicate. The WORDS are delicately CHOSEN. Not that Trump wears a tutu while delivering them. Different meaning of delicate.

Their “Christendom”, the ROC is basically the state agency of religion, just like it was in Soviet times. Go there, try to spread Evangelical Christianity and you might get arrested.

Their leadership (starting from the guy at the top being there since nearly 20 years and not going anywhere anytime soon) has as much to do with “traditional European values” as Xi Jinping (and other Chicoms) does. Not liking homos (one of few things they get right) is a matter of global common sense.

The Obama’s US involvement in Syria is “controversial” to put it mildly but Russians have Iranians and Hezbollah fighting on their side, so it's nothing more than my “moderate islamists” vs your “moderate islamists”. Russia has the whole units of Muslims and they were using them both in Georgia and in Ukraine.

So as much as all the recent making (by the left/globalists) some sort of ultimate boogeyman out of this sad dick is a bit cartoonish, he's not any defender of Christianity and the white man's civilization, not even close.

"Indeed. Not good at all."

Even worse, it looks like the shooter was an Ankara Police "special operations force" member. Looks like he might have been there as security the way he was standing behind the podium before the shooting.

I guess this is what Obama was talking about when he said he’d strike back for Hillary being hacked.

Bodies don’t bleed out instantly like in the movies. It takes a few seconds to leave the body, probably a fair amount absorbed by clothes until they’re saturated and it pools on the floor.
