Update 4:43 PM: Reports are that he has died at age 31.
(We hope and pray he survives this assassination attempt.)
Why did they go after him? Because he was effective. He had made a difference influencing the minds of college students nationwide– but especially out west, where he is based. Unfortunately, some of the most violent actors within the political left are out west also.
The palpable, partial loss of young people to Trump and other Republicans is devastating to the left. These young people had been a reliable source of support for the socialists for many years. Kirk’s mission was to reverse that tide, and he was experiencing some success. He certainly had an impact on the elections last year.
That is why he was targeted. It was all about power. When you observe the left– what they do, and what they say– remember that the motive nearly always is power.
This episode underscores once again the necessity of identifying and locating those portions of the left stirring up and funding violence, and going after them with certainty. This has been occurring for nearly a decade. It must stop.
The perpetrators and the schemers and the funders need to face certain, swift justice to the fullest extent of the law. Public executions are in order.
The vicious, violent left continues to try to kill because these things have not happened thus far.
Kirk reportedly is a Christian with a young wife and two young children. I have no doubt he loved this country. The reaction to this shooting among conservatives has been passionate based on what I have seen so far. We can’t let this continue.
For Dems, the murder of a conservative is no more “wrong” than the murder of a Jew is to Hamas.
ANYTHING is acceptable (and encouraged) so long as it helps advance the party goals.
JayCee, there is a major league demonic streak that has been made manifest for a long time. I remember hearing a local Baptist preacher several years ago refer to them as the ‘Demon-crats”, and he was right on target.
May Charlie Kirk rest in peace. He was a brave martyr.
Let’s hope law enforcement is successful in their search for his killer. I just saw that they have good, solid leads and have recovered the weapon used in the assassination.
Thanks, Fred. Let justice be done.
