multiple people have died on the floor and some where beaten to death by other congressmen on the floor and nothing happened to them; it makes zero difference.

this is untrue. no one has been violently slain during a session of congress, Charles Sumner got his ass beat on the floor but was not killed. in 1954 Puerto Rican nationalists shot a few, but didn’t manage any kills, and i think doesn’t really count since they weren’t members of congress or technically in the room yet

by luck only:

Brooks would later contend that he stopped because he had accomplished his mission, but witnesses say he was eventually pulled off the senator, who by that time was near death.

using pointless details to obfuscate & disseminate the thrust of argument was a western capitalist trick. lol

not sure what you’re trying to say. how allegedly close or far a call it was is ancillary to the fact he survived & was in congress for 15 more years.
