Being shot and SURVIVING is not within the context of
“Darwinian removal” from the gene pool. Steve Scalise is still very much alive, and still a potent force within the US House of Representatives. As well as having living descendants.
A non-lethal hit does NOT qualify for the “Darwin award”. It has to be a kill shot BEFORE reproducing and extending your influence on future generations.
It’s not just the idea that he survived.
You don’t give soldiers darwin awards.
You give morons who cause their own needless deaths darwin awards.
