If we're going to spend more money We need more Mental Health services and an "accepting" culture for those that want to seek help.

Charlie Kirk was a man of faith and gave his very life for the values I stand for. He was a voice heard around the world

He was a racist, white supremacist, and very divisive figure. The political violence that ended his lift is a terrible thing but it’s something he helped foment. This is the most ridiculous idea I can imagine.

I never heard of this guy before he was murdered, but it looks like he had a track record of saying awful things, and fomented the conditions in society that led to his demise. That's very tragic, but there are other people more deserving of a day.

Though this is a tragic incident and a terrible time of violence in our country, Mr. Kirk was not an elected official. We should honor his family and respect them in many ways and I certainly have sympathy for his family. But this does not warrant aday in Oregon devoted to his name or his politics.

A highly partisan figure in American politics should never be given a day of observance for any reason. It should be acknowledge that violence is not acceptable in any form for any reason, but it should not be honored and given Publicity because of it.

He was not a government figure, and while I don’t condone the violence that took his life, he called on his supporters to bail out others that committed violence against elected government officials.

This guy was homophobic, racist, and anti women’s rights. While I think his murder is wrong, he is not a hero. He encouraged hatred towards people he didn’t agree with their lifestyles in his “teachings”. I don’t think Jesus would support him…he preached love for everyone!

We didn't create a Melissa Hortmann day and she was a good person. Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was about racism, sexism, mysoginism, and divisiveness. He was not a good person and represented everything that was NOT Christian.

Sure! Let's give kudos to the shooter! NOT! What about the 5 officers who just got shot in Pennsylvania? Should we have a day for that too?? Absolutely NOT necessary.

More police, DA's who will prosecute and judges who will convict!!! We need LAW & ORDER BACK!
ReplyGetting rid of the demented Democrats soft on crime and hard on good citizens policy's would reduce crime! Having more concealed carry citizens would certainly help! Putting God and Godly values back in this country is the ultimate solution! The lefts ungodly policies are destroying this country!
ReplyIf the masses can't seem to control themselves then more police would be beneficial.
ReplyFirst step is to make criminals accountable for their actions, also reinstate laws to make drugs illegal again. We also need to respect the police and not put blame on them for criminal's actions. and yes, more funding is desperately needed. Never should have been defunded.
ReplyGoes without saying
ReplyYes, defunding the police is stupid idea, stores need extra security gun control is not the answer
ReplyI think Hummel has been a disaster & it’s past his time to move on. Just an opinion. Deschutes Co. is only growing faster & having less police makes no sense. The crime has only been rising.
Replyof course , silly question!
