There are increasingly more rights for criminals and fewer rights for law-abiding citizens.

We need to know what these people look like, for identification and safety.

Mugshots are taken however the person is not convicted. Given the number of unarmed people across the US that were shot this year, do you truly believe releasing mugshots of people prior to a hearing where they are connected is a good idea.

Personally, it makes me cringe when KTVZ starts off their nightly newscast with some stringy, greasy-haired creep's picture on my TV screen for being arrested. It's a complete turnoff! I usually fast-forward over everything else to the weather when they start with that. It is gross.

They bias public opinion about the guilt of the arrested. Many times people are arrested & released or the charges are dropped but that mug shot makes us all think they "must have done something". Plus they are just used to shame people as another deterrent to crime. But do they really affect rates?

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 doesn’t deserve it. He is a nobody and spewed hateful rhetoric.

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.

Mr. Kirk was too controversial and not a hero.

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.
