I am also told that at least one fire station had kept their flag lowered, and locked it in place, requiring the fire chief to come cut the lock. Also that there are people sneaking around lowering flags.

The Charlie Kirk shooting suspect is in state custody, NBC News confirms.

The suspect is still at large - officials earlier said they found a high-powered rifle in woods near where Kirk was shot.

We’re excited to announce our newest innovation in trailer security… The Guard Goose 3000! 🦢💨 After years of research, we’ve discovered that a highly trained attack goose is the most effective theft deterrent. Not only do they honk aggressively at intruders, but they’ll also chase them at speeds up to 20 mph! No batteries, no wiring—just pure honking power. Pre-orders start today… if you can handle the honks. 😂 Monthly service fees required of $3000 for the lifetime of the Guard Goose 3000

Of note, those corruption charges stemmed from Blagojevich very openly trying to sell Obama's vacant US Senate seat in Illinois after the 2008 election.
