Anyone remember Ronnie McNutt?

[j.rez729]

"Hey guys, I guess that's it." I remember when I first watched that video I was "blown away", lol. He's truly an inspiration. A legend.

I'm wondering what triggered him. He seemed to get a text message moments before doing it, but I can't find any information on it right now. People ragged on me for posting that I wanted to ctb in front of people, but I think we all know deep down that people would get a thrill from seeing that. It would be giving people a fun show, giving what they really want. C'mon, who hasn't felt a little excitement at seeing something crazy.

 

[soledad.virgen]

i feel bad for him, and i always thought it was the fault of the person who texted him lol. probably got driven crazy by his partner. many such cases of that

It's sad, His demise may have been PTSD related do to his military service - The famous ringtone from the video became a meme including his CTB

I think his family was trying to call him, or his girlfriend recently broke up with him when looking at the phone, and that was the last straw.

I would be careful about your public image after an attempt on camera

It would seem one's fate for a successfully recorded CTB is for your death whether viewers define it as a boring death, or gruesome death (And they will decide this through the method you choose and how addicted they are to seeing gore) to be watched as entertainment and spread throughout obscure gore websites and maybe even social medias to be gawked at for its shock value.

Sadly Ive been to a few gore sites for method research and the comments are all just...vein to put politely, No respect for the dead.
Although that is there territory and this is ours, People will be of there own digital clans mocking the dead until they see someone they know on one of the gore sites and maybe as a meme for a month.

Just go on a gore site and you'll see the comments I'm alluding to with your own eyes-Now picture yourself among the gore as a successful attempt, Feel strangers eyes glued to the screen and what comments would come from that. It seem like a restless death (In my opinion)

Thoughtful reply. Agreed, if you're going to attempt on camera you better complete, because you're going to have quite a mess on your hands if you fail.

It's sad the lack of respect people have for not just the dead, but everything. I'm not mocking Ronnie's death. I just view him as someone I want to emulate, because he had balls.

 

[leloyon]

I personally was quite desensitised by the time I watched the Ronnie McNutt video. I remember the Shuaiby video, if anyone has seen that one. That one had a more profound impact on me. I considered emulating him. Whenever I've considered suicide on livestream, it's always been with the thought of "a la Shuaiby" rather than "a la McNutt".

Had to Google Shuaiby. That's sad - I'm wondering if his lazy/cocked eyes had anything to do with his misery. I'd imagine so. I don't have anything like that going on but I'm average looking and still can barely live with that. It's hard enough being average, I can't imagine going through life looking like that.

I remember being particularly hit, when I watched the video, by the moment just before he pulled the trigger. As he just sat there for a minute, gun to his head. I can't quite put it into words, but somehow I just got it. I just got it.

 

[brain-fog]

It triggered more of an emotional response to it as well. But most of it in retrospect, after I looked through his profiles and accounts on the internet (which were linked). He just seemed like the average /r9k/ poster and the only difference was that he was recording his suicide. Somehow it feels different when somebody from the same sphere of internet does that. Ronny McNutt might have been sad as well, but he wasn't relatable if you like that term.

i hate to like, weigh deaths to one another because both are obviously tragic and whatnot, but this one is so much more sad. i have moments where i want to ctb in a way to spite people but at some point i always remember how shuaiby's mom finds him in the video and it's so heartbreaking.

omg. I'm tempted to watch the video but I haven't been a gore fan in years so i'm afraid i've been re-sensitized. I'm assuming she screamed and cried, that's so sad. actually the only thing holding me back is my mother. I don't want to do that to her.

Yeah. You can hear her scream as soon as she opens the door, she goes over his body while crying and yelling his name, and towards the end she calls the cops.
Probably the worst reaction I've seen is a Russian/Slavic guy who drank some opioid in a discord call. Both his parents walk in and you see his father crying over his dead body, holding him. The guys in the discord call are joking about it and IIRC the parents start arguing with them.

That is...so disturbing. I feel like I still can't believe how much people suck, I keep saying it over and over that they do but I still don't think it's fully sunk in how terrible people are. It's unbelievable to me.

There have been other cases similar to that of Ronnie McNutt, where people decided to share their passing live on social media. An example is that of Tyler Clementi, a young student who committed suicide in 2010 after being the victim of online bullying. In McNutt's case, his difficulties appear to have been linked to a combination of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and other psychological factors, possibly including a recent romantic abandonment. Other cases of live suicides, such as that of Nicole, a young woman who took her own life on Instagram in 2017, also show how private pain can be amplified by diffusion on social media. Often, someone who brings up an event like this is interpreted as an individual overwhelmed by a series of personal and social events, such as loss of relationships, financial problems or mental distress, without however a single reason emerging. In some cases, like McNutt's, a message received shortly before the act may have accelerated a decision already influenced by pre-existing factors. Yes, people are attracted by these things, you can see it when there is an injured person on the street, or someone who jumps from a building and many other situations. Everyone ready with their cell phones. Rapes also resume here.

I had to Google Nicole. Wow, the platform took weeks to remove the video after she streamed it. Also, another example of "everyone ready with their cell phones" is that disgusting train immolation story from NYC. Can't get over it.

The only thing I hate about this is that Ronnie mcnut didn't leave the exact gun and ammunition he used . It would give me so much confidence if I could get that gun and ammunition to do the same explode my head to escape this nightmare hell. Using that is almost guaranteed self euthanasia. He quickly placed the rifle or shotgun under his chin and his whole head exploded . The stupid police didn't even try to save him they knew he was dead instaNtly and could never bring him back into this hell

Anyone know which gun and ammunition he used?

I wish I had Ronnie's, shauiby , gorablev and others courage . Videos were instant death they felt no pain

What's sad is suffering through extreme pain every second for years. It's not sad me exploding my head which will get me out of that pain and this hell to my non-existence forever. To me my non-existence forever is a quintillion times better than this hell called life

Well, I'm not religious but I also don't believe we go into non-existence after death, even from a quantum perspective it seems quite likely we don't. However, even if we're not on the same page on that, I agree this is hell and it's getting near time to leave. As far as the gun, I'm pretty sure you could find that out some way. Either you could go to a gun store and ask a gun expert (this will be tricky, might want to find a gun expert who isn't affiliated with a store on second thought, they'll get suspicious though you can show them pics before the blast and just say it's from a fictional movie lol) or better yet post on a gun forum to get information. I'm almost certain you can find out what gun he used.

According to friends who work in the Armory and who have seen the video, it could be a Barrett M82, caliber .50 BMG. At any position or distance, the lethality of a Barrett M82 firing a .50 caliber BMG round is virtually absolute. If fired at such a short distance, such as under the chin, the devastating power of the .50 caliber BMG would cause immediate and catastrophic destruction, effortlessly penetrating the skull and annihilating the brain and vital centers. Even if the shot was not perfectly aligned or centered, the force and energy of the bullet would still be sufficient to cause instant and irreversible lethality, leaving absolutely no chance of survival. With or without a medical team on site.


In the USA you can find that weapon and caliber, but even with a lower caliber (like 416) the damage is equally devastating and 100% lethal. A shot to the chin with a .416 caliber Barrett M82A1 is inevitably fatal. Although the caliber is slightly smaller than the .50 BMG, its energy and precision are such that it can cause equally devastating and irreversible damage, even several meters away from the victim, let alone under the chin. This is what weapons experts told me. Can the experts on the forum deny or confirm? Is there any chance of survival?

rough stuff not for faint of heart

 

[maniac116]

Im sorry. Im not trying to start a debate but nothing is 100% lethal. Absolutely nothing!

 

[Vivir_O_No]

I think we all know deep down that people would get a thrill from seeing that. It would be giving people a fun show, giving what they really want. C'mon, who hasn't felt a little excitement at seeing something crazy.

Stop projecting yourself out.

For me, another grim reminder of the nature of reality that I prefer not to watch.

 

[zengiraffe]

He quickly placed the rifle or shotgun under his chin and his whole head exploded

No. He placed it under his throat, with his whole head extended forward over the barrel. He aimed (either intentionally or unintentionally) at his midbrain through his throat, which it why it was fatal. Absolutely do not shoot any gun "under the chin" as you'll just blow your face off and not cause any damage to your brain. It's the 2nd most common mistake that causes firearm suicides to fail, after shooting into the temple. You must damage the midbrain, at or around where the brain connects to the brain stem, shooting from the side of the head (behind the ear) or from inside the mouth (pointed up through the soft palate). Ronnie's under-the-throat strategy worked because he used a powerful gun and ammo which gave him a lot of margin for error, but I wouldn't recommend it as a general strategy, as if you tried the same thing with a 9mm you may fail.

According to friends who work in the Armory and who have seen the video, it could be a Barrett M82, caliber .50 BMG

I haven't seen the video in years and I'm not sure where to find it but I distinctly remember it being pretty obvious that the gun he used was a 12 gauge shotgun. I have no clue how your friends think it "could be" a Barrett M82 when it doesn't look like that gun at all, not to mention that's an insanely expensive gun that shoots insanely expensive ammo so it's very unlikely someone like Ronnie, who I'm assuming isn't super rich, to own it in the first place.

 

[bananaolympus]

Yeah is one of the most popular live suicide videos, what i remember the most is how his dog casually walks in after his death

 

[L'absent]

Im sorry. Im not trying to start a debate but nothing is 100% lethal. Absolutely nothing!

There are no documented cases, either in medical literature or other official sources, of people surviving a shotgun blast to the soft palate with a 12-gauge. It is an extremely lethal method, and there are no verifiable examples of survival. Any claim suggesting otherwise is unfounded and not supported by concrete evidence. If we want to proceed with theories, even a firing squad shooting at a person for 17 months doesn't guarantee 100% certainty of killing them, but in reality, the facts tell us that a 12-gauge shotgun blast to the soft palate is a certain fatal condition.

I haven't seen the video in years and I'm not sure where to find it but I distinctly remember it being pretty obvious that the gun he used was a 12 gauge shotgun. I have no clue how your friends think it "could be" a Barrett M82 when it doesn't look like that gun at all, not to mention that's an insanely expensive gun that shoots insanely expensive ammo so it's very unlikely someone like Ronnie, who I'm assuming isn't super rich, to own it in the first place.

I understand the confusion, and I have to say that I was also astonished when my friends at the armory mentioned the Barrett in reference to the Ronnie McNutt video. It seemed really strange to me, and while I'm not completely sure what weapon was used, I'm convinced that it was still a much more common weapon than a Barrett. Moreover, the Barrett is made in a completely different way from the one seen in the video, which makes me think that there wasn't a careful evaluation by people who, despite working in gun sales, should be much more precise and attentive to what they say. This makes me realize that, unfortunately, true professionals are very few in all sectors. It should also be noted that it's not so easy to determine what weapon was used, because what is seen in the video is practically just the tip of the barrel, which makes it difficult to make an accurate assessment.

Anyway, the matter has really intrigued me, and I plan to show the video to other people who, apparently, seem more knowledgeable about firearms. It will be interesting to hear their opinion as well.

I remember him, I feel bad whenever people repost his death for jokes. I guess that's gonna happen when you decide to end your life in front of a 100+ people online. I never understood that if I'm being honest, ending it all in front of people but then again I am afraid of most people. While I do believe that it is very sick and terrible to use others as "inspiration" and aspire to emulate them unfortunately I am already a very ill person and cannot help myself. For me though I am inspired by Ian Curtis and Francesca woodman, also what someone else has mentioned about wishing to have the courage like Ronnie.

What were their methods? Of Curtis and Fran I mean

 

[frailcoffee]

What were their methods? Of Curtis and Fran I mean

Curtis hung himself using a washing line in his kitchen. Woodman jumped out of a window, both died around the same age and same time I believe. Of course their deaths aren't documented (visual evidence the way McNutt's was), but they were still pretty big when announced in the news.

I am so torn about my method. I'm sort of interested in CO but I'm afraid I'll fuck it up, and that'd be a pretty bad fuckup. I don't know what to do. I'm not torn about my decision to end it somehow though.

 

[TAW122]

I do recall that video and have watched it before. It is very gory and graphic. I'm sure Mr. McNutt likely just went unconscious the moment of the shotgun blast and didn't really feel much. From an outsider's perspective, it does look very violent and brutal though.
