Same. I’ve been scrolling and just watching his campus visits. Such a shame this happened.

Dindus playing midnight soccer? I seriously missed this one altogether.

Sorry, probably a bad place for a joke but I'm trying to get some sense of humor back. Every morning since Charlie was murdered, I've woken up and been on fire with anger about it within 15 minutes, even when I don't turn on the TV while getting ready for work. I was really pissed when they took a shot at Trump, but this is completely different. This is the realized fruition of all the "Nazi" and "white supremacy" and "threat to our nation" and "domestic terrorist" propaganda and lies espoused by the entirety of the establishment and the MSM Narrative Control Apparatus since 2016. We're dealing with very stupid and very dangerous sheep that have completely dehumanized anyone to the right of Stalin.

I don't know how to move on knowing that these people are out there only getting worse and than this is going to happen again. How do I hold my head up when I see my own family on socials spiking the football on Charlie Kirk while his corpse is still warm just because they don't like his views, when my views are almost exactly the same as his? Am I supposed to just pretend they don't want me dead too and wouldn't cheer because I'm "family" even though I've been placed by them into a group of "dumb rednecks", "fascists", "MAGAts" and "racists" through their proxy rantings?

You didn’t turn your back on them. They turned their backs on decency.

I think it lingers so much because many of us see ourselves in Charlie. He was able to communicate and articulate many of the things we think and persuade people. Heaven got a good one in Charlie.

I was talking to mom today and went on a long rant about it. It’s clearly still eating at me more than I realized.

You hit the nail on the head. I do and I know people who made excuses for his assassination. It makes me feel like they would do the same for my death.

You are correct.

Best thing to do is acknowledge who these people are, and then avoid them for eternity. They are soulless demons that possess no moral compass.

Cut them out of your life and be around people who want what is best for you and your family.

The way he talked to his baby girl about a subject that she certainly couldn’t yet understand but knew was super important for her to hear.


I’m a dad to a 5 year old girl. Seeing the video of him in a toy store with his daughter has stuck with me. She’s clearly too young to understand but he tells her she can’t just have everything she wants and makes sure she’s been a good girl before picking a toy.

Of course he bought it. We all do. But it’s incredibly sad that that figure is no longer around for that little girl.

I'm vacillating between sadness, periods of healthy anger, periods of unhealthy anger/consumption of too much social media, and then breaks from it all when I recognize it's dominating my thoughts too much.

But all that to say it has definitely consumed my thinking for the last week, better or worse. I assume there are many similar.

Same here too. I'm genuinely sad that he was killed and am still mourning. I loved following him and would stay up late at night in bed watching his debate videos and some of his podcasts. I'd laugh my arse off at his debates with liberal kids and wake up my wife, then she'd get pissed at me. Eventually she started liking him too. It's so sad what happened.

As we go forward, let's remember the hours and hours of great moments he left behind (headlamps slightly NSFW)

I have turned my back on a couple of my best friends because of this. They were assholes about the murder. Insulting. Disrespectful. I tried so hard to let it go and move on. I tried to focus on other topics. But the damage was done. I couldn’t be around them anymore. It made me sick. And I wasn’t even a huge Charlie Kirk fan. I thought he was a brilliant and good man who was senselessly murdered for talking. And it hurt me to see the state of things. And they celebrated it. A murder of a father and husband who just talked.

I could never see them the same again. It hurt bad to turn my back but I have no choice but to move on without them in my life. It disgusts me what this world has become.

But it sucks because now I really don’t have anymore close close friends. But I had to stand up on this.



I've had people mention how sad it is to lose friends over "political issues" but tbh this transcends politics to me. If I'm friends with a person and they're celebrating the murder of a person, it tells me more about their hearts as human beings than even their politics.

Next time anyone ever knocks any human soul for not being college educated... Listen to Charlie Kirk.

He is brilliant not of this world. There is a clip of an economics major and Charlie asks them about nearly 20 economists and the college student has no clue.

Charlie is gifted beyond explanation. He had a mission. Spiritually I think he was a prophet of modern times of Jesus to help the youth.
