SO I GUESS THE FBI DID GET HIM: The First Man Arrested After Kirk Shooting Tried to Help the Real Shooter Escape.
MAGICAL THINKING: Gun-Free ‘Sensitive Places’ Laws Only Endanger the Law-Abiding. “If citizens cannot count on courts or policymakers to prioritize their safety, they are left to their own devices when situational awareness is simply not enough. Rules that restrict an individual’s right to bear arms for self-defense advantage criminals, and as public officials dither, lives are in danger.”

THE REAL QUESTION IS, WOULD BILL CLINTON DATE THAT MUMMY? World’s oldest mummies found in China and Southeast Asia.
THE POWER OF FAT: Muscle-building response to weight training differs among high-protein animal foods, study reveals. “These studies suggest that whole foods are better at stimulating post-workout protein synthesis than their processed counterparts, and that the fat content of whole foods may, in some circumstances, improve the rate of muscle-building.”
FIRST MAN ARRESTED FOR CHARLIE KIRK SHOOTING WANTED TO HELP SHOOTER ESCAPE: Documents.
George Zinn, 71, was taken into custody following the shooting, but he was later cleared on having any direct involvement with the shooting. He was arrested on suspicion of obstruction of justice.
Currently, investigators have a suspect in custody for the shooting. Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested on September 11 after he told a family member that he was the one who shot and killed Charlie Kirk.
According to the affidavit of probable cause that was filed today, immediately after the shooting, Zinn allegedly walked up to a police officer and started yelling, “I shot him, now shoot me.” The officer could not see a weapon in his hands and placed him in handcuffs. The officer asked him where the gun was, and he reportedly said, “I am not going to tell you.”
As he was transported to the UVU Police Department, he allegedly continued to say that he shot Kirk and to just shoot him. At the Police Department, Zinn was advised of his rights and asked for a lawyer.
According to the affidavit, after he asked for a lawyer, without being asked any questions by investigators, he stated that he did not shoot Kirk and that he said he did to draw attention away from the real shooter.
Zinn was later taken to the hospital because of a medical condition, and Zinn reportedly told an officer that he was glad he said he shot the individual so the real suspect could get away. He also said he “wanted to be a martyr for the person who was shot,” according to the probable cause statement.
He was admitted to the hospital and released on September 15, and he was then booked into the Utah County Jail on suspicion of obstruction of justice in a capital/first-degree felony case, which is a second-degree felony.
WebMD defines “Main Character Syndome” as “the perception that your life is a story or a movie where you’re the central character.” Evidently Zinn believed he was the main character in an Oliver Stone or John Frankenheimer movie: “In 2013, Zinn threatened to bomb the Salt Lake City Marathon and spent a year in the can for that incident, according to reports.” And according to TMZ, “The man accused of obstructing the Charlie Kirk murder probe is in even more hot water … he’s now been charged with possessing child porn.”
COST IS THE REASON: Research finds half of Ozempic patients quit within a year. “About 52% of people in Denmark prescribed semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) for weight loss stopped taking it after one year, researchers reported Saturday at a meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes in Vienna. The drugs’ high cost appears to be the reason why people give them only a brief try, researchers said.”
CUE THE WORLD’S SMALLEST VIOLIN: Joe Biden Is Struggling to Cash In on His Presidency.
Biden, 82 years old, is charting a postpresidency that is less lucrative than what he’d expected when he left office. Options for big jobs are limited by his advanced age, his unpopularity in Democratic circles and companies—concerned about retribution from President Trump—that aren’t offering speaking gigs. His own allies have grown critical of his presidency, most recently former Vice President Kamala Harris, who in a new book says the Democratic Party was reckless to allow Biden to run a second time.
The result for Biden is a leaner next chapter that lacks the well-funded foundations, plans for exquisite libraries and full calendar of paid speeches his peers enjoyed.
Instead of private jets, Biden has been spotted with a book on his lap in the first-class cabin of American Airlines flights or (talking) aboard Amtrak’s quiet car. Paid speaking appearances can range from $300,000 to $500,000, people briefed on the matter said. Takers are limited, and at least one organization tried to negotiate below that range, some of the people said.
Still: “A roughly $10 million book deal will give the former president a major financial boost.”
One more thing: “If the family sticks to a modest-for-the-powerful lifestyle, “it’ll be fine,” the person familiar with their finances said. Others in the Biden orbit note that the family has a taste for a more lavish lifestyle, particularly if others are paying.”
That’s how they’ve always lived.
I WOULDN’T WANT THEM TEACHING MY KIDS: Can teachers be fired for celebrating murder?
JIM TREACHER: Mea Culpa — I Was Wrong About Charlie Kirk.
I regret not paying more attention to him when he was alive. I’m not MAGA, and a lot of MAGA people hate me for criticizing Trump when I think he’s wrong. So, I figured Kirk was akin to those clowns: “You’re owned, cry about it, cuck,” etc. Anger, resentment, spite. A thirst for humiliation. Some call it “Trumpism.” I put him in that category, if not the worst offender. Alex Jones Lite.
Now I know it wasn’t Kirk’s approach at all, and I wish it hadn’t taken his assassination for me to learn that.
“I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Voltaire didn’t actually say that, but he should have.
And that’s exactly what Charlie Kirk did. He was murdered at the precise moment he ceded the floor to an opponent. Tyler Robinson could’ve waited his turn to debate Kirk, but instead he cut in line.
Big mistake.
Read the whole thing.
BUT STILL A LONG WAY TO GO: Ukraine’s War Against Russian Oil Just Scored Another Big Hit.
HE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW:
For those who complain about 'hate speech' and 'hateful rhetoric'…
There is literally nothing more hateful than advocating, celebrating, or committing murder.
That's worse than all the 'isms' and 'phobias' combined.
Disagreement is normal. Wishing death is deeply evil.

BREAKING: New York Court Tosses Terror Charges Against Mangione. “In the end, this really belongs in a federal court anyway. The DoJ can pursue this as a domestic terrorism case if they choose; at the moment, they have not yet escalated it to that point, but AG Pam Bondi has already ordered prosecutors to seek the death penalty. After this ruling, we can probably expect the DoJ to push for an accelerated trial schedule to eclipse the New York state courts and settle this matter for good. Once the DoJ wins a conviction and sentence — which would be a minimum of life without parole — Judge Carro’s courtroom will be nothing more than an anti-climactic sideshow.”
GOOD LORD:

YES:
Listen to Charlie Kirk.
Do more than just talk.
Tear down the well-funded leftist networks that build permission structures for terrorism and violence.
Honour his legacy. https://t.co/Kp32QHKmlG

GOOD LORD:
“Zinn reportedly told an officer that he was glad he said he shot [Kirk] so the real suspect could get away. He also said he ‘wanted to be a martyr for the person who was shot,’ according to the probable cause statement.” An improvised, on-the-fly, pro-murder accomplice. https://t.co/fLPD2VhqKr

MORE LIKE THIS, PLEASE: Tyson Foods Is Dropping High-Fructose Corn Syrup.
The Arkansas-based meatpacking giant that owns brands such as Jimmy Dean, Ball Park and Hillshire said it would also stop using the artificial sweetener sucralose, the preservative BHA/BHT and titanium dioxide, a food coloring.
Tyson said the decision was voluntary and follows its previous efforts to reduce sodium, sugars and other food additives. Chief Executive Donnie King said Tyson continuously reviews and assesses its product portfolio to meet the needs of consumers.
Tyson, which processes one-fifth of all chicken, beef and pork sold in the U.S., said its goal was to stop using high-fructose corn syrup and the other ingredients in its U.S. branded products by the end of the year. Tyson products that list the sweetener as an ingredient range from frozen honey battered breast tenders to frozen Jimmy Dean sausage, egg and cheese croissant breakfast sandwiches, according to labels on its products sold at supermarkets.
Yuck.
