Charlie Kirk murdered at age 31
Prominent American social commentator and viral conservative has been shot in the neck in Utah - pronounced dead at hospital
Awful. Murdered for his 'Prove me wrong' events where he would give the opposing side a platform to disagree.
It's only been around a year since President Trump narrowly avoided the same fate by turning his head a few inches.
Really admired this bloke. Such knowledge for such a young person
RIP Charlie
Scary world we live in where you can be murdered for expressing a view. I disagreed with him a lot, but there's no doubt he created conversation in order to avoid violence. Abhorrent.
I refuse to feel some sort of empathy towards this man.
Yes, it is sad to be shot in front of people.
But he also spread so much hate. Transphobic, Homophobic, Sexist, Racist... the list goes on.
I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.
– Event organized by TPUSA Faith, the religious arm of Kirk’s conservative group Turning Point USA, on 5 April 2023
It was only acceptable for this type of speech when it wasn't directly effecting him, or those around him....
Oh, so the murder of your political opponents doesn't move you in any sense?Quote:

Also, the whole idea of him being shot in front of his family has been tossed around but there is no evidence that his family was even present during this event.
Nonetheless, there's a saying that goes "I don’t support what happened to Charlie Kirk. But sadly, Charlie Kirk supported what happened to Charlie Kirk."
I'll leave it there.Quote:
