Not long on details, but a source you can click on that isn't a right-wing/libertarian sewer:

That was horrifying to watch. I've never seen it happen to someone and that sent a real moment of fear all over my body. I'm always afraid of getting those due to my lack of health.
Wow, I shouldn't laugh, but I absolutely guffawed in every sense of the word. I take no pleasure in seeing people suffer, even deplorable racists, but that was right on the money.
Strokes don't sound fun. Ron Paul has earned my lack of sympathy, particularly with his comments on the Covid pandemic

Ignoring anything specific about the person, I've got to say I found watching that very educational, as while I've heard it described I've never seen it happen before. Gives me a better idea of what to look out for so in future I'll be able to potentially act faster to call an ambulance or what have you.
My grandpa had an episode like that several months ago, but the test results were inconclusive. They THINK he had a minor stroke, but there was no significant evidence of it or any apparent long term impact. It was crazy to hear how he went from normal to rambling and no awareness of where he was only for him to just as quickly go back to normal with no memory of any of it.
I was going to post something similar but wondered if it was in bad taste.
My mum had a stroke in 2011 because some doctors fucked up a surgery. she survived it and died 3 years later because of the after effects from the stroke.
after the stroke she was a different person, couldn´t walk without help, talking was hard for her, she had sudden mood changes all the time.
i do not wish this happening to anyone, it is a hard thing to watch the change and decline of a beloved person.

That was strange to watch. I've never seen a stroke before, but my grandma had one, and she said she was talking on the phone and then couldn't talk for a few seconds. It was eerily similar to what I expected it to look like.
No one said he was a good person, but it JUST happened, and it's a human being suffering something devastating on air.
Not going to watch any videos of this. He's a libertarian jackoff, but I don't take any joy in people like... dying and becoming permanently disabled on TV and stuff. Hope he can care that all humans deserve and have a peaceful end of life.
Wow i've never seen one in action before, scary.Careful, here is a link
Rather than ask why is this okay, report the content (as you did) and we'll discuss it as a team. Sometimes we need more than 15 minutes to make a decision and we don't see everything immediately. Thank you.
I've gone through first responder training multiple times. It's surprisingly rare to capture the moment on video. My Grandad has had multiple serious strokes, and sadly is barely there anymore. This is a serious health event and response time is huge in terms of how good an outcome you can hope for, so I'm personally glad I watched the video.
I'll show empathy now, but if Trump ever had a stroke live, I'll be celebrating it. That man is a fucking monster.

Ah sweet jesus fuck...that was so hard to watch. Agh...I wish I didn't watch that. Makes me think of my grandparents.
Ron Paul is a bad person, but man...I truly don't wish that on anyone...I think it was the confusion on his face while he was trying to form words that came out as garbled messes that got me. It really was an educating moment watching it, but I wish I hadn't.
Oh no, not the man who did everything he could so that poor people couldn't have healthcare and thinks sexual harrassment victims should just quit.
Please tell me the man who doesn't believe in LGBT rights and voted against adoption for gay couples is okay.
Why, you unmerciful God, would you take this man who self-describes as an "unshakable foe of abortion", and introduced laws against it, from us.

Just got over watching the six feet under last season so I can't watch this video. When I was young and individualistic I was a big fan of Ron. My libertarian days are long gone, but I hope he gets well with no significant long-term effect. I think he's a genuinely good guy.

What a terrible comment. Just gross.
That's basically how I feel right now. Was terrible to watch and surely burned this scene into my brain, but if I ever see something like this, I now know what it is.
Ya not gonna watch a guy have a stroke. I already saw Tommy Cooper die on stage, its not something I wanna see.

My friends mother had a stroke while we were eating dinner at a restaurant with her. It was pretty close to what I just saw there in that video, and it was equally as horrifying. I hope he pulls through for his family regardless of his political views.
He may never recover however, my friends mother has never recovered her ability to remember things properly and it was years ago.

Evidently, neither are you.
I know you and I will probably get banned but I can't wait to have people here tell us it's not the right time to say Trump, or Mcconnell were bad people when they eventually die.
Yeah, my mum had some pain and had trouble walking, but she didn't have paralysis on one side of her body and could talk. She had to demand they give her an MRI so she could be sure it wasn't a stroke, and sure enough it was.
Fuck.
This happened to my dad that fast. I was reheating dinner and he was watching TV in his chair, everything's normal, then suddenly he falls out of his chair, and when I go to see what happened, his right face is dropping and he's slurring and I realize he's had a stroke. I called the EMS in time to save his life.
I hope Ron Paul is ok, that is something you have to be so fast on to receive treatment to survive it.
