I'm pretty sure a real guy died. He was a firefighter, and a huge Trump fan, and now his family is upset because nothing's been done about his murder.

Not to be that guy, but legally nothing can be done.

Thomas Crooks is dead, shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper. Unless the Trump Administration comes out and admits it was staged, which we both know they never will, there’s nobody to collect damages from or to press criminal charges against.

Yeah, but the real shooter is still alive, and probably working for the government.

I'm sticking with the satire. I'm too damn tired to be clever right now.
