At press time, California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the shooting because he was hoping to have Kirk back as a guest on his podcast next week

It looks like they've ~~unlisted~~ (edit: now deleted) both this and Incompetent assassin misses largest head on planet - I'd guess because he died (whereas at time of publication it was "just" him being shot) and hey, fair enough I guess.

At the time I write this, it has been confirmed that he's now fully immunized against all disease.

He was acting a bit weird right after though, do you think he may have gotten autism from all the lead in his shot?

I'm glad I found out about this from something with the same level of sympathy as I have towards this.
