Harambe dying is what set us on the current path. Save Harambe, save us all.

Coming this Fall on NBC: Incognito - Harambe goes into Witness Protection as a cafeteria worker at Pleasant Horizons Nursing Home - but the FBI still needs his knack for crime-solving! Featuring Henry Winkler as Old Carl.

He's already dead and incinerated or buried, so go ahead and run over them remains.
