The Death Of Charlie Kirk

The Death Of Charlie Kirk

Charlie Kirk, a well-known conservative activist in the United States and staunch ally of President Donald Trump, was shot dead at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

Now, I want to start off by saying I feel sorry for his children that he left behind and I never condone gun violence on any side.

So if you're living under a rock and don't know him, here's some facts about how wonderful this guy was. (In case you are not smart enough to realize, this is sarcasm)

One scary fact is that Kirk had 5.5 million followers on X and hosted The Charlie Kirk Show, a podcast and radio programme that reached more than 500,000 listeners each month. Wow, who knew that we had that many racist listening or following out there? Well, I guess we shouldn't be surprised, look who was voted into the white house and by who.

Kirk was a populist, an American nationalism rooted in evangelical Christianity and “traditional values”

He was a key figure in conservative media and activism. He promoted free-market capitalism, advocated for gun rights (famously stating it was worth some gun deaths to preserve the Second Amendment), and spread his anti-transgender view. 

Let's not forget the racist he was when he suggested Black pilots are unqualified. He also blamed a Black fire chief in Austin, Texas, for flooding deaths that occurred a three-hour drive away from the city. He denounced the passage of the 1965 Civil Rights Act and tried to discredit the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as “awful” and “not a good person.”

He is deeply rooted in the history of white evangelicalism: Racism. Kirk, like decades of Christian right leaders before him, has found that loudly proclaiming your faith is an effective way to whitewash overt bigotry against people of color. And he has much to answer for when it comes to race-baiting. As Ali Breland of Mother Jones reported in 2024, Kirk has “hosted far-right and white supremacist figures on his podcast and has tweeted in support of whiteness, earning praise from white supremacists.”

Yes, he was a peach, he had even hopped on the “trad” trend. He denounced the “LGBTQ agenda,” and equated homosexuality with “grooming” children for sexual abuse. (He said this while partnering with a pastor who did time in federal prison for attempted “coercion and enticement” of a minor for sex, now ain't that something) He has called on women to forgo education and careers so they can instead focus on being submissive housewives.

He has even argued that the proper Christian view on immigration is not to “welcome the stranger” because “foreigners can become your masters.”

Yes, this “great” man (Again sarcasm) that Trump wants to lower our flags for when he never even offered condolences for the Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman who was shot and killed alongside her husband in June 2025. 

Or wait how about doing this for all of the victims of mass shootings or hey, even school shootings?

Let's see the facts on how “great” we really are. 

As of August 31, 2025, there have been 309 mass shootings in the United States in 2025, resulting in 302 deaths and 1,354 injuries. This data comes from Wikipedia.

CNN reports that there have been 47 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of September 10. Twenty-four were on college campuses, and 23 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left 19 people dead and at least 77 other victims injured. 

Wow, but we are great at giving our “thoughts and prayers” and doing nothing else because God forbid we actually change some laws to prevent this. 

We are so “great” that between 1998 and 2019, the U.S. accounted for 73% of all mass shootings in developed countries.

Hell, we lead all developed countries in the number of mass shootings, with the vast majority of all such incidents occurring in the U.S. Yeah, we are so great! We are number one! 

So today my friends, I never wish death on anyone, even someone as vile as this man. But I, like many out here, will not be putting him on some kind of pedestal when thousands of parents have buried their children because of the anti gun laws he stood for. And unless your going to lower our capitals flag to half mass for every single mass shootings victim or school shooting victims you better not do it for a person who once said 

that he "couldn't stand the word empathy" and called it a "made-up, new-age term" that does a lot of damage.

Yeah…that.
