He died 6 years after the “groundbreaking” book in question was published. He was kind of right about some things, but wrong about a lot of the details.

It is definitely possible to shoot yourself in the head twice while trying to commit suicide. Your skull is actually very dense, and if you don’t know exactly where to point, you could easily fuck it up, but still be conscious enough to finish the job. This infograhic has been around for years and persists because of its inflammatory nature even though it’s incredibly misleading.

I highly recommend you read about this man regardless.

His Wikipedia page:

From Wikipedia:

Webb’s ex-wife, Susan Bell, told reporters that she believed Webb had died by suicide.[74] “The way he was acting it would be hard for me to believe it was anything but suicide,” she said. According to Bell, Webb had been unhappy for some time over his inability to get a job at another major newspaper. He had sold his house the week before his death because he was unable to afford the mortgage.[74]

I think the inclusion of the implication that murder is covered up does more harm to his legacy. Many people will throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Edit:

Also, contemporary reporting says he left four suicide notes, instructions on the door to call 9/11, organised cremation paperwork and personal items for family.

Also, surviving point blank gunshot suicides are not unheard of. Rare; not impossible.

What’s his last name?

States don’t even need overt censorship to silence people. They made Gary unhirable. They ruined his life by vilifying him.

That’s another type of censorship. One that doesn’t get headlines.

My problem is this generation is flippant on what it wants to know.
Fascist killed a comrade? “Who cares!”
MrBeast raped kids! “Dats my GOAT!”

Shouldnt have gone after the central frat brothers agency
