  1. i find it hilarious that no matter how many times these fake news outlets such as this can lie and still put out information and expect you to believe them!? I don't believe a word these idiots say and no one else should as many times as theyve lied and covered for deep state operatives. It seems they dont care how many holes we find in their stories… they keep feeding us these stories to shape our minds, our votes, our spending habits, our eating habits…. wake up people and think for yourselves!! this is what charlie advocated and now i believe he was taken out by some deep pockets because lately he was touching on the dual citizenship of our politcians and he was calling for the release of the epstein files… THINK FOR YOURSELF!! This is my hypothesis. Create YOUR own!! Don't allow yourself to be manipulated by these ppl that only look to profit off of your ignorance!

  2. ISNT IT WEIRD THAT THE SAME DAY BLOOMBERG FOUND EMAILS WHERE EPSTEIN PERSONALLY ASKED MAXWELL TO REMOVE DONALD TRUMP FROM A LOST OF ASSOCIATES CHARLIE KIRK GOT KILLED?????

  3. Regardez the First Amendment. The very first one, so important is it. ("Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.") We all need to tolerate all opinions and all speech. If words are found to be egregious, use social pressure to express that. Use your own right to free speech to oppose it, but we must never beat up, shoot up, terrorize, or otherwise physically harm or threaten someone with whom we disagree. Hello! No such thing as hate speech, it's just free speech.

  4. Charlie Kirk was killed by a far right conservative who was part of a group that had a long term feud with Charlie Kirk. They are called groypers. This had absolutely NOTHING to do with Democrats or the left or any minorities or foreigners. Just look up groypers and charlie kirk it goes back YEARS.

  5. The Democratic Party is off the rails. The enemy has infected this party and its supporters. Cheering the death of Americans, destroying working American property and removing all forms of conversation they don’t agree with. They preach tolerance but tolerate nothing.

  6. We'll miss you for the rest of our lives, those of us who "knew" you… But your sacrifice will give more of us the strength needed to fight the fight you handled so gracefully.

    As angry as I am, I know Charlie would never want violence, as he spoke of so often. And even though I'm still searching for the connection to whatever it is that's bigger than us, I understand that he had it – regardless of what you want to call it.

    Every fiber of my being feels this tragedy; this man was a beacon of light in a very dark world. My only hope, is that I try to be as good of a human as him. I will fail, and I will try again. I will fail again. As many time as this process takes, I will try again.

    We cannot let this be the way the world goes – no matter the "side" you're on, or the "beliefs" you hold.

    We have to hold on to the hope that we can be better.

  7. to lose a young man who just wanted to talk to young people , at 68 yr old its so sad for all who loved this man , and america , talking is the way not shooting , we the people must talk to each other , lord in your name we pray .💔💔💔💯💯💯

  8. I am not surprised what happened to Charlie, especially in this sick society of political malcontents. I have no doubt that Elon Musk and Ben Shapiro have both sought refuge away from public appearances because of this very possibility. Do I blame their behavior? No. What confuses me about yesterday is from all accounts I heard why was there not coverage on the rooftops ????The camera in review clearly sees a lone figure just standing there. RIP Charlie and may God look over his wife and children. And while you are praying for them, pray for the United States also.

  9. The time to have prevent the Charlie Kirk tragedy was months ago when there should have been condemnation and action when the state legislator from Minnesota’s was murdered.

  10. I have to be honest I didn’t know who he was, but when I heard he was killed I looked up several of his videos to see what it was about him and after watching the videos, I can see why he was targeting. He believed in guns and second amendment rights and he thought it was OK to have collateral damage from guns even with children and he also didn’t believe in the word empathy so I’m not sure right now why I would choose empathy for him.

  11. The FBI 1 hour ago stated there was Trans writing on the Rifle & Shells they recovered! That's a fact whether you like it or not! This just keeps on happening over & over with these individuals.

  12. He was not an activist, he was a visionary, a great debater filled with knowledge on the history of the country and the constitution and scripture. A great great man. RIP Charlie, you were loved and respected by all.

  13. Freedom of speech has really been taking a hit over the last decade, but this is a true way attack on freedom of speech.And everything our forefathers fought for
