At the White House Correspondents' Dinner — a ritual meant to honor the fragile compact between press and power — a man named Cole Allen opened fire, and the Secret Service answered with five shots of their own. By Monday, Allen faced arraignment on attempted assassination charges, while the administration turned its gaze toward a different kind of reckoning: the words a comedian had spoken days before. The shooting did not merely threaten a life; it collapsed the distance between satire and consequence, forcing a nation to ask where responsibility ends and where it begins.
