I've settled into being agnostic when it comes to whether or not Kurt was murdered, thinking about it just puts me in a bad mood... I think there are equally compelling arguments on both sides. But these new pictures of the gun he used are really fucking me up... Look at how long that thing is. How the fuck do you shoot yourself in the head with that thing without using your toe? (he had his shoes on...)

otm. that's insane. you would have to be stretch armstrong.

they should have had Sarah Palin pose with it

did they ever explain how they thought he used that gun? there is one way I can think of to pull the trigger, but it's sort of difficult and there would be evidence that this was the method.

the explanation was he lied on his back and shot himself in the mouth using his thumb to pull the trigger... fucking impossible with that thing! the SOAKED IN BLEACH documentary debunks the physics of the official explanation...that doc has some problems (mostly the cheesy, unnecessary dramatic re-enactments), but it's arguments are pretty compelling.

i could totes shoot myself with that gun but I have long arms. cobain was kind of short.

still don't think he was murdered.

xp its*

and yeah, another thing they talk about is how the shell casing was on the wrong side of his body, and how the lack of splatter/mess with his head suggests that he was already dead when the shot was fired (no blood pressure)...

Kurt was short but he actually had pretty long arms. Kennedy wrote a book a couple years ago and she spent like three pages talking about his "gibbon-like arms"

with satellite technology i'm certain we could find the secret pacific island on which he, Diana and Bob Marley are living.

if this was cobain's only gun and he really, really wanted to kill himself with that method, he'd have found a way.

main issue with murder theory for me: if you wanted to murder a guy with a wicked heroin habit and recent history of a (perhaps intentional) drug overdose why wouldn't you just shoot him full of junk?

You mean the way Sid Vicious was murdered?

He shot himself. The end. Get over it.

compelling argument

I'm not obsessing over it. It bugs me from time to time. Like I said, there's evidence on both sides. This is easily the most compelling piece of information that suggests he didn't pull the trigger. I agree with jim in glasgow though that, if someone wanted to kill Cobain, why not just incapacitate him and give him an OD? There's just so much fuzziness on both sides that it still doesn't sit well with me. Sorry. I don't think it's obvious what happened either way.

I'd assume if you were going to plan and pull off a sophisticated staged suicide you wouldn't use a comically oversized gun, though i am not a criminal mastermind.

This has pretty much always been about demonising Courtney.

ftr I hate Courtney like nobody's business but I don't buy the conspiracy theories about her having him murdered (amusing as they are) for a second

it's like, b/w this and o.j., the 90s just refuse to end.

courtney is a pretty terrible person tbf

and I am also a big fan of Nick Broomfield and even his doc makes it p clear how loony the theory that she had him killed is (while also making Courtney look like a horrible person)
