The close-up video is beyond insane. I don't agree with him in ant way shape or form but god damn nobody deserves that. 

I've seen reports saying he's in stable condition. Modern medicine is pretty incredible if that's the case

Credit to his team for responding very quickly. Video shows them whisking him away rapidly, then on a stretcher, and outta there.

Charlie Kirk, a close ally of President Trump and the founder of the nation’s pre-eminent right-wing youth activist organization, was fatally shot in on Wednesday while speaking at a campus event at Utah Valley University, his spokesman Andrew Kolvet said.

“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social, adding, “He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us.”

EDIT: This sucks. I was not a huge fan of his, but I felt like his arguments were on point. If there was one thing I could have said to him it would literally have been, "Dude, tone it down. You get more flies with honey, and the way you're going, someone's going to try and assassinate you."

RIP, Charlie.

I'm not normally too phased by things but this one has really knocked me. Saw the video on accident as it was posted in the comments of a post I was reading on FB, horrific. Some utterly sick people about. 

What's also sick is the amount of people commenting praising the shooter.

I peeked at FB after reading your post. After seeing a few of those posts I was like Goddamn it you stupid cold hearted chickenshit assholes, do you REALLY  want to start a war with the people "On the right" ?  Is that really what these guys want ? Having friends on both sides I can tell you without a doubt in my mind that is not what they want, it won't go well for them. But who knows maybe they'll keep pushing until we're all going wild west on each other. Fuck who knows might be a good way to take out some trash. I'm 100% anti violence lets all get along and work it out, but when I read some of the comments I honestly felt like the world would be better off without these heartless soul less violence promoting assholes. Their compassion level is non existent. 

I've had the same thoughts about this.  They really don't understand what they are asking for if they want this fight.

Unbelievable.

 That picture of him earlier in the thread hits hard as my step son is his age, married with 2 little girls the same age.

Horrible. My thoughts towards Charlie and family. 

I watch him on and off (same with Andrew Wilson) and often find myself agreeing with him. Of course you never agree with anyone on everything but that's not the point of course.  Crazy people everywhere...

Brother this is the plan, divide everyone ideologically until the powder keg ignites and the United States collapses from within. It is working.

Videos of people celebrating this. Sad fucking people if you find any joy in this. 

Someone posted a clip of Charlie saying something along the lines of it's necessary to have a few deaths a year in order to keep the 2nd amendment right and to protect yourself. 

The guy that posted it it said "How do you feel about it now?"

How stupid can one be? Completely missing the point he was trying to make.

This is such a bummer. What blows me away is how many people on the left are celebrating his death. I don’t know how you can celebrate this kind of violence.

RIP

I'm seeing reports the shot came from a building 200 yards away. If that true whoever did it knew what they were doing.

I pray that God shines his grace on his wife and children, they will never experience what the love of a father can bring. Charlie will go down as a Martyr, sitting in an open square in a hostile environment willing to engage in dialogue with anyone and everyone to hopefully bring self reliance and critical thinking back to the forefront of the youth of America’s mind. And they shot him down in cold blood to silence him. What a shame, I pray his legacy lives on and that his death awakens people on both sides to reconcile and come together.

I'm the first to admit I am naive when it comes to politics. So who's the winner in this situation ? Is there an easy answer ?  Who gains ? Can it be explained in layman's terms ?  Because I truly don't understand how this country became so hateful. You don't to respond I'm just thinking out loud, I know there's no simple answer. OK so we all start blasting each other, then what ? Who's the winner ?

Any country that hates the USA wants to see us implode. Making your enemy eats itself would be the most satisfying. Not to imply that stuff like this is orchestrated by our enemies/opponents, but they are the ones that "win" from our internal demise.

This country became hateful when people became selfish, lovers of themselves and only caring about themselves. When they decided they wanted their way and only their way and didn't care what it took to get what they wanted. That's why we are where we are. Maybe it isn't the majority of people, but the loudest ones that seem like they are the majority sure look to be that way.

Everyone who’s not the United States. This is a page out of the communist playbook, enemies you cannot defeat militarily, you must beat ideologically. You indoctrinate the youth and allow the ideal to grow organically through generations. Destroy religious beliefs and nuclear families and watch the foundation of the United States crumble. Divide the populace and the strength of common interest erodes, if the country doesn’t stand together it will tear itself apart through perceived divisions that have been sown through control of information.

Horrible incident as are the bottom feeders making videos celebrating this.

He had a wife and 2 young children.  Imagine hating an idea so much to do that to 2 kids.

I've seen a bit of Charlie's stuff and while he pulled no punches, what I saw he only ever debated on the side of factual reality.

 

RIP

Just hope that Turning point USA can carry on, much like Breitbart.com did after Andrew's passing.

Wouldn't want to throw that kind of stuff in a dead person's face, but he is right about that. If you want booze, people are going to drink themselves to death. If you want cars, or motorcycles, people are going to crash and die. We've even had presidents shot and shot to death, so we're committed to the gun rights and that's just not going to change no matter how tragedies are weaponized. Maybe what needs to change, is the idea that it needs to change.

A lot of people seem more interested in assigning blame than finding out who committed the act, and why.

If the goal is Civil War, actions like these sure steer the ship in that direction.

Scary times.

Just when you think the left can't get any more vile, they do. How people can think it's OK to kill people that don't agree with them is beyond me. What the fuck is wrong with people that promote this shit? Do we have any chance of undoing some of this hatred? Because that's what it is, hatred of our fellow man.

RIP CK, I will pray for your family. Your movement will only grow stronger because people will honor your movement by spreading your message.

And no, it's not the gun that did this!!!!!!!!!
