It does warm my heart seeing how this bozo getting shot has been functionally memorialized over the last year by clowning on him even harder.

If he didn't get shot specifically in the neck while saying the dumbest shit ever I don't think it would've gone this far. It almost makes you think the universe has a sense of justice.

Also his colleagues and wife immediately cashing in

He didn't get shot by a literal IRL the-deserter in the mouth so it's not entirely "made for Hexbear" tier perfect, but it is close.
