Charlie Kirk shot in Utah-Update: Charlie Kirk–Assassinated at age 31

Charlie Kirk has died from being shot at Utah Valley University. The shooter is still at large.

I watched his youtube channel fairly regularly and was always impressed with his knowledge and grace. A true loss. Rest in Peace.

———————————————————-

Charlie Kirk was shot today in Utah. He posted an interview with UT Senator Lee that indicated that he was receiving more hate from this campus visit at Utah Valley University than he did from UC Berkeley.

No details yet nor is there information about his condition.

MSNBC is already bringing the stupid by saying:

      James–I’m going to hold off on any comments until there is verified news. That said, it seems that the video is real.

    As I’ve already posted elsewhere, this is a damned shame. However, I never understood his tactic of going into these campus events, knowing full well he was facing off with inveterate leftist shitheads of the worst kind. He wasn’t likely to change any minds there, as the indoctrination was too strong to break, and was thereby putting himself at unnecessary risk of just this sort of outcome. Proselytizing to an actively hostile crowd with little to no chance of a positive payoff for the effort, and a high risk of incurring injury or death, just doesn’t strike me as a worthwhile use of his time and talents. And now he’s gone, effectively martyred.

    I say this not to besmirch the man, but to point out that his chosen method of operation was likely to end exactly this way at some point, and for what? Just to get video of idiot college kids and their equally deranged professors getting ridiculously pissed off on camera? In the aftermath of the Charlotte train knifing, one common refrain has been to actively avoid settings with known enemies present for one’s own good. Well, I’d say that advice could – and should’ve – been extended to Mr. Kirk. Some decisions are self evidently ill advised, even without the benefit of hindsight, and we now have that hindsight yet again.

    How many more will sacrifice themselves this way? I’m not saying there isn’t a war to be fought, but it will have to be done by far more effective tactics than walking straight into a viper’s nest and getting in face to face shouting matches with people who are both unreachable and unsalvageable. Those are the sorts who will have to be liquidated en masse in war, because no amount of debate can bring them back from their delusions.

    Trump has confirmed that Charlie has died.

    What a shame. This guy was responsible for changing the hearts and minds, apparently not all, of young voters in this country and I believe was responsible for delivering a deciding segment of the electorate to Trump in 2024. There is no one coming up behind him.

    The left knew this and killed him for it.

    The reaction from the left wing media is horrific and disgusting beyond words.

    I hoped he’d make it, but didn’t have much faith. The video I saw showed a lot of immediate blood loss, probably a major vessel severed. At least he may not have suffered; I would imagine immediate brain injury as well.
    Rest in honored peace, Mr. Kirk. Lost much too young, senselessly.

      My son was at the event today. Most of the students were there in support of Charlie according to him.
      However, I also have seen a few extreme leftist and communist groups on campus at Utah Valley University. They seem to have a very polarized groups on campus.

    Payment is required. I have no faith that justice will be done in this day and age. There will only be justice for Charlie in his eternal reward, and the shooter in his. The Charlotte stabbing too. No justice on Earth. Only justice after this life. They might escape it in this life, but I have no doubt that there will be an ultimate justice and judgment.

    Texas Dan–Unsure. Hopefully this is a wake-up call.

    James–Thanks for the update–I’ve modified the post accordingly.

    BRD–I think his tactics did more good than you’re giving credit for. And he believed in what he was doing.

    Nemo– I do think he had a huge effect on the college age students. And he was a danger to the left so they did indeed kill him. And the left wing is showing their stripes once again…

    TN Budd–I too had hope. Definitely gone too soon.

    TRoy–Agreed.

    Matthew–They are now rabid and should be treated as such.

    Perhaps his tactics were of more benefit that I perceive. And I can respect the man for putting his ass on the line, because he had to know he was at risk. But I question whether a guy who is married with young children should’ve been taking this approach, again considering the risk to reward ratio. Even if I didn’t agree with all his espoused positions, it sucks that a good man who had at least a pretty solid understanding of things, and was a husband and father, got sacrificed by some shitstain.

    It may be that his being martyred will have an even larger effect, but that will be evident only with the passage of time. May I be the first to propose that Trump push for a Federal holiday honoring Charlie Kirk. Make it the third Monday of January, so we can take a piss on MLK in the process. They tore down our statues, it’s long past time to gore their ox in return.

    Everyone tends to project their own world view onto others — at least a little bit.

    The progressives and other assorted leftists projects their violent nature onto conservatives, and claim that conservatives the violent ones. But history shows that this is a lie. Look at various assassinations: Charlie Kirk, Minnesota state senator Melissa Hortman, RFK, MLK, JFK, Malcolm X … murders perpetrated by leftists. Look at the school shootings — the vast majority conducted by leftists and trans.

    Charlie Kirk, who had a fundamentally good nature, projected that belief onto others — and believed that the people he was communicating with on campuses were fundamentally good and open to reason. Yes, I believe that Big Ruckus D is correct: the left are violent, amoral animals that will kill you just as easily as look at you. Not all of them, but enough of them. I believe that Charlie’s naivete regarding the left led him to put himself into a position that the left cheerfully murdered him.

    I’ve taken multiple firearms courses over the years. I believe that the most important lesson that they taught was situational awareness. Be aware of your surroundings. Look at each individual in the area and assess if they pose a threat — and act accordingly. Play mental “what-if” games. If that person does this, I will do that. If at all possible, when you spot a threat, get out of the area. Every gun fight you avoid is a gun fight you win.

    The Ukrainian woman on the train had her hoody down and her nose into her phone. No. It was not her fault that an animal celebrated by the left murdered her — but there are lessons that we can learn; and situational awareness is the main one.

    Hats off to Charlie Kirk, what he did, and the example he gave. I wish that he had been less trusting of left. I wish that he understood the evil that the left represents — and that the amoral left is very content with murder. It sounds like the assassin has plenty of accomplices in the news media trying to deflect — but that’s also why “Let’s Go Brandon” resonates with people. It wasn’t as much against Biden as it was against the new media. LGB says to the news media: You lied. We know you lied. We can prove you lied.

    Stay safe. Stay vigilant. Pay attention to your surroundings.

    The events most recent… and this execution have me wondering at what point have we are we and will we be entering the next civil war?

    Very disturbing.

    And it is extremely saddening that Mr. Kirk has passed on. I truly admired him. He was one of a kind. Prayers for his family.

    Get Freight–Campuses are increasingly polarized and the left wing side is increasingly violent.

    BRD–He was doing what he believed was right. What comes after this, we will see.

    Rich–I get it. No worries.

    Unferth–You nailed it. 100%. And the media is still running cover because they are part of it. I’m not sure why true leftists’ brains are wired differently, but a recent personal experience showed that quite clearly.

    boneman–He was a very smart man and definitely one of a kind.

    an adjunct to my comment from yesterday

    The reaction from the left wing media is horrific and disgusting beyond words. At least MSDNC did the right thing and fired that POS Matthew Dowd, so there is some small modicum of sensibility left in that organization.

    I am so saddened by this, I actually shed tears yesterday, not only for Charlie and his family, but at the insanity of the Left. Far left loon doesn’t even begin to describe them and their leaders. People like Shmuck Schumer and Mad Maxine Watters are just as culpable as the shooter and whoever is behind him because they continually incite violence and are never held accountable, but are in fact lauded for their stance by the lunatics in their party and the lunatic leftist fake news.

    Saw a couple of articles in various publications over the last couple of days predicting “something BIG is coming”. They weren’t kidding. The good news is that the Left have no idea how badly they just screwed themselves in their quest for power, akin to when they tried to kill Trump in Butler.

    The rallying cry for the midterms will be “Remember Charlie Kirk and what he did and wanted for our country.”

    There was a post on X about Lauren Boebert requesting a moment of silence/prayer for Charlie Kirk & his family that was met by shouts of “NO” along with other ridiculous comments from the leftoids. Unfortunately for the left, the internet never forgets. Remember this uber-nauseating scene from a few years ago where homage was paid to St.Floyd of Fentanyl?

    @WDS What a bunch of two faced idiots our representatives in CONgress are. They bow(kneel) to serial felon and drug addict Saint George Floyd, yet shout down one of their fellow reps, ON THE HOUSE FLOOR FOR ALL CITIZENS TO SEE, when asked by that rep to pray for Charlie and his family.

    Great example for the citizens of this country when our elected representatives won’t come together during a tragic moment but rather shout down a prayer request.

    Then they wonder why Charlie took the stances he did on political topics of the day.

    One side wants to win, the other side wants to be liked. The side that wants to win is…well…winning.

    The “Rs” and so called “conservatives” had best get their heads out of their asses, and figure out that this game is being played for keeps.

    Evil is a thing. Right now it’s slapping folks in the face with a big ass smile and saying “watcha gonna do about it”?. That’s a tough ass question to answer, because most of us like our comfortable lives, but it’s time to start asking it. Past time.
