The attempted assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is drawing condemnation across the board for the shooter's inability to hit a giant target.

The last I heard he actually died, though.

What I heard is:

  • 200 yards
  • 1 round expended
  • 1 dead
  • no collateral damage

Sounds like a pretty competent assassination to me.
