??

his entire foundation Turning Point USA was built on reaching young conservatives. He goes to colleges to speak.

He was raising awareness for young conservatives about their rights since he was 18 yrs old...

he was #1 on the hit list bc of the future he was bringing up. damn shame. we lost a good one.

Right but would universities let speakers come in anyway. All they have to claim is "safety"

Had a couple of friends text me yesterday that they didn't know much about Charlie, but their teens were upset.



Same here. There is a large group of high schoolers and college kids that looked up to him. It was evident from his campus functions, but it never hit me that the people around me had kids that followed him too. A coworker's daughter, who is a junior in high school, cried all day.

Mine are just a tad too young to know him. I was even shocked my wife knew him. We talk politics, but never at the level to where we know who each of us is following. I feel bad that I didn't know and will make it a point now to share with my wife who I follow and where I get my worldview.

They definitely won’t be able to stop now between the new sheriff in OMB, 1st amendment and a whole lot of pissed off people

Wife and I were shocked by the number of Insta-moms who posted about his passing.

I never imaged his reach was that long.

Tell them the truth, with an age appropriate filter.

All the left did by murdering Kirk was make him a martyr for the young generation. Kirk’s message has already been received now it will be followed by those who loved him. It will be a moment in history remembered by all, and his message will continue to resonate for years. I can only pray the majority of the younger generation strives to be like Kirk. That’s how you fix this country. We need good, honest, Christian nuclear families.

I have 4 kids ages 25,23,19, and 15. They were all very upset yesterday. They all are as far from leftist as a parent could wish for. But I didn’t realize that they all knew who Charlie was until last night. The looks on their faces as we watched the news coverage was telling. Sadness, confusion, and for the 1st time the realization of the evil of the left. It was very sad for me as father to see this coming of age realization play out in front of me. Especially on the heels of the Charlotte murder by another one of the monsters the left created. We must embolden our youth to know their enemy and that their enemy is the left. I hope and pray that this event produce 100 more Charlie Kirk’s.

Yep we found out a couple of months ago my oldest teenager had been watching Charlie for a while. I’m very proud of him for discovering Charlie and noticed that my son was becoming more aware of issues going on in the world. I knew he would take it hard and many of his friends did as well. Screw those leftist pieces of shite for what they are and what they have done to our society.
