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.

Needed anyplace along the parkway where there's a crosswalk.
ReplyThey are building them for wildlife along Hwy 97. It's only right for them to build them for the safety of pedestrians as well.
ReplyPinebrook - Across from Walmart
ReplyBend Parkway should have undercrossings or foot bridges so that people don't have to cross the parkway where people are driving 65+.
ReplySW Century Drive (between the Wash. roundabout & Welcome Center) to be able to cross haul trail, rimrock trail and neighborhoods more frequently. Traffic is increasing so additional crossing points are vital to keep bikers and walkers on the paths that protect them from cars.
ReplyBend parkway should have under crossings
ReplyBetter than exposing pedestrians and slowing down traffic with crosswalks that aren't at intersections.
ReplyThere are several places in Bend this would be useful. Not sure if there is a place for one near Shepherd's House, where there are constantly people running or riding across the road. This would also be safer on the Parkway, where there are flashing lights and crosswalks.
ReplyYes and no, there are lots of places to safely cross but so many people chose not to use them. There are other areas of town that could really benifit from safer crossing.
