I think people use jugular because it’s a more familiar term in pop culture or just everyday usage. “Go for the jugular” is often used as “Go for the kill” when describing dog attacks and such.

But yeah it doesn’t take a doctor or anything to see the incredible spraying of the blood and recognize arterial bleeding. From there just a bit of first aid knowledge tells you “bro’s dead.” Can’t tourniquet off the head… he’d need a prepared surgeon next to him. Even under those perfect circumstances my understanding is such a wound is more than likely fatal.

Although I will say on a really morbid note or whatever. I found this video not all that disturbing in comparison to the perhaps hundreds of videos I’ve seen of Palestinians being murdered in every possible way. I’m not even going to detail further but people that have seen them probably know what I mean. It’s like Kirk was still a human even as he was sitting there bleeding out. A whole body. Still a recognizable figure.
