    You know people talk about things before all the information rolls in, right?

    Like… its possible he talked about it before anyone knew Kirk was hit.

      Before anyone knew? That is definitely not true.

      Here’s the video:

      I kind of wish there was more of the lead-up to it, but that’s easily enough context to see that they knew he’d been shot. I do sort of get the point he was trying to get at, but the way he said it was clearly a horrifying joke, you can sort of see the anchor’s shock as she’s saying right after that it is confirmed that Kirk was shot (i.e. there is no uncertainty, just in case anyone wasn’t clear). The chyron says he was shot. Dowd immediately transitions to talking about “hateful deeds” right after.
