Charlie Kirk assassinated today in Utah.

[Coach]

He was shot in the neck during his event.

Such a sad day for America.

He was only 31 years old.

I have no more words that are allowed on this forum.

I have really enjoyed watching Charlie Kirk's smooth calm and controlled style of dealing with the nonsense going on in the country this past few years. No yelling, no waving of his hands or shaking his fists... Just the facts.

I was shocked at how emotional reading the title of this thread made me. It had come to this?

Coach, thank you for your restraint. I believe I have the same words you do.

I liked that young man. He had a classy way of dealing with his subject matter.

May he now rest in Peace.

In this country, we have two constitutional amendments that strain to co-exist. The right to speak our mind in public and the right to carry a firearm. A man with an opinion was shot today by a man with a firearm.

It is very sad and, like everyone here, it makes me sick. He was apparently killed by a sniper because of his political ideology -- like too many others before him. I don't expect he'll be the last.

I only heard Mr. Kirk's name in passing before today. He wasn't someone I was tuned into. He was just one of thousands of so-called influencers, mostly young pop-culture icons who I never heard speak and wouldn't recognize on the street if I passed them by. What makes me sick about this news is that he was likely killed because of what he thinks. Imagine.

I imagine if he could speak now, he'd say "Life is precious". But, he'd be wrong. Life is not precious. It is so very not. That it is, was, or ever will be is the real hoax. And, that's my opinion. Shoot me.

Very sad! I think the burner the pot sits on just went to High.

I'm still seething mad after watching the video of the dirt bag stabbing the young lady in the neck and now this.... I seriously believe we need to go back to public hangings in clear cut cases where there's no question of guilt.
