The charismatic and popular leader of a conservative movement on college campuses, Charlie Kirk was just the victim of an attempted assassination at a rally in Utah.
I pray he survives, but from the video, I don't think it's likely.
The MSM was quick, of course, to describe him as "right wing," using that as an insult, but while his beliefs were - no, ARE - conservative, I always found him respectful of his opposition and willing to listen. The fact that he'd listen and not be swayed angered the Left all the more.
The online comments from the Left about the shooting are, as expected, disgusting and embarrassing. If the shoe was on the other foot, there is no leftist in the world where I would mock their pain, root for their death, or celebrate their killer. You can disagree without hating the other person, and there is ZERO excuse for political violence.
Good luck Charlie. You're in my prayers.
Update: he has passed away. RIP
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
It's likely he will have plenty of time in purgatory to think over the many terrible things he said.
