Overview
- Following a packed Monday night meeting, the Palmetto Bay Village Council voted 4–1 to censure Councilman Steve Cody and pursue his removal or resignation.
- Outrage focused on Cody’s deleted Facebook post stating, “Charlie Kirk is a fitting sacrifice to our lords: Smith and Wesson. Hallowed be their names,” which he later apologized for but said would not prompt him to step down.
- CBS News Miami updated its report to note that the governor’s office is exploring the legality of removing a local elected official rather than immediately deciding the question.
- Separately, South Florida institutions announced disciplinary actions over posts about the killing, including the University of Miami firing neurologist Dr. Michelle Bravo, Florida Atlantic University placing a staff member on leave, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission firing an employee.
- Charlie Kirk was fatally shot Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University; 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was apprehended, and Utah’s governor said recovered shell casings bore anti-fascist inscriptions.
