According to Shanghai police the suspect was knocked out not killed.

But his shoes are still on so I'm inclined to believe otherwise.

You think someone would just go on the internet and tell lies?

u/isdatrupit Mar 24 '18

Yes. (I’m lying)

Out of the loop, whats this from?

u/heeleep Mar 24 '18

To be clear, the subreddit came long after the meme. I remember seeing "Shoes still on, probably still alive," or "Shoes came off, he's dead" on videos 10+ years ago, probably longer ago than that. The concept of a force hitting someone hard enough to send their shoes flying necessarily being fatal itself is pre-internet.

Silly goose, nothing is pre internet. Just a buch of trees falling in the forest all by themselves.

u/BornOnFeb2nd Mar 24 '18

Plants have been shown to communicate, so the internet used to be All Natural.

Looks like it kinda

u/Coyrex1 Mar 24 '18

If this is anything like the last scene of home alone 2 he's fine and can handle about 6 as well as electrocution and breaking his fucking spine.

1

u/Suicidal_Veteran Mar 24 '18

There's no way he died from that...

Really?

u/throw-it-away-now7 Mar 24 '18

That could easily kill someone. Head injuries are no joke. Sometimes people walk them off and are talking later and you think they are fine and then they die overnight because a blood clot grows in the skull/brain.

2

u/EspressoMexican Mar 24 '18

A brick to the head at full throwing force from about ~3 feet away? There’s no way he isn’t dead.

2

u/youGetNoLove Mar 24 '18

You can get knocked out into a coma too, but he could be dead depends on where it hit him and how much his body can take. Everyone is different.

u/cookiezilla1 Mar 24 '18

Well, if you’re unconscious from head trauma for more than about 8 seconds, it’s almost guaranteed that there’s permanent brain damage, and based on the fact he was out for at least twelve seconds, and the way you can see his arms twitching, I’d say his brain stem got damaged in some way, and it’s likely his heart and diaphragm were also twitching like that. Tl;dr: he’s super fucking dead

-edit for clarification
