I've watched many of his videos. Found him very interesting. Just didn't remember his name when the news broke. I appreciated his views and the civil.way he presented them. Calm cool, and able to.disagree without getting heated. I wish more people could/would behave like that..

I've never heard of him, but once this is all said and done, I have a feeling that I'll know more about the shooter than him; and that's just what the shooter wants from the media.

He’s huge in conservative politics, which makes the left hate him.

I’ve never heard of him until what happened.

I don’t watch ‘the news’ on tv.
I don’t buy or read ‘newspapers’.
I don’t vote. Ever. Not once.

Why?

The tent he was shot under said “prove me wrong.” This isn’t the time or place to have this conversation but the whole reason he was at colleges was to elicit responses or arguments, for lack of a better term, with those that disagreed with him. Absolutely no reason to be murdered.


That sounds exactly like something someone who’s never watched more than a 10-second clip of Charlie Kirk would say.

I can agree with what he says (which from what I’ve gathered I generally would) and understand that other people will disagree with him vehemently. Not complicated.

When have we ever known more about the shooter than the shooter’s victim? We still don’t know dick about Crooks.

And no, Charlie has become the biggest American martyr since RFK. Your kids will be reading about him in the history books. You will find out a lot about him simply through osmosis.

EDIT: Well mass shooters but that’s about it.

He was a worldwide phenomenon for politically engaged young conservatives. He regularly debated at University of Oxford in England. Today I’ve seen at least a dozen social media posts of candlelight vigils and individuals mourning his death from Ireland and other parts of UK, Germany, Poland, Spain…

Ah, yeah I didn’t even realize he was on Fox that often. I’m not surprised, it’s just that I don’t ever watch Fox.

But you’ve never heard him speak. The dude is one of the most open and honest debaters of either side. He’s also not aggressive.

Have what conversation? I’m just quoting your own words, both from the last 2 days.

I mean I don’t really need an excuse. You vomit over every thread and you’re pretty dumb, so the opportunities are endless.

That has nothing to do with it. Obama is a great speaker. People hate him.

If you have never heard of Charlie Kirk then I consider you part of the problem. This is your chance to get educated on what is going on in this country & what evil we are dealing with.

Dismissing his life’s work with juvenile insults doesn’t make you look clever—it just exposes how little and pathetic you are.



frick you dude. Those weren’t insults. He was attempting to help young people think for themselves and question the indoctrination they’d been put through. Many of those same people are as I described them. There is no insult or slight.

You however being a sanctimonious cock sucker can politely go suck start a shotgun.
