My non-mod opinion on this:
Trump is posting Kirk is dead.
Not going to celebrate, just noting:

I think it's fair to call something a Schadenfreude moment if it is. To quote Kirk: Prove me wrong.

Definitely dead. You can't walk away from that.

It's super bad, but if James Brady could survive a headshot, anything is possible.
Be prepared for any early reports to be wrong/corrected.
We're already finding out the person in custody was not the shooter.

FYI - links to the gore video will be removed if it is not properly marked as NSFW/NSFL.
Yes, it's bad. This is not like the Trump "maybe it was faked with razor blades" kind of thing.

Ironic to a fault. His death was worth it to protect my god given right not to care.
