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.

Never had a problem
ReplyI NEVER didn't feel safe.
ReplyI have always felt safe in public. I have never worried about COVID and Im in my 60's.
ReplyI don’t feel like Covid is any different then the pandemic that we have every year that kills people. Look back at the first flu it killed 50 million people and infected 500 million. Then every year it has gone down. But here we are a 100 years later and it still kills 650,000 people worldwide
ReplyNever was a problem,, what a sad sad Joke this IS !
ReplyI have not felt unsafe in large crowds this entire time...
ReplyIf you go into Walmart or Fred Meyers there are huge crowds every day. And it is not fair to the small businesses.
ReplyBecause I live in what used to be a free nation.
ReplyI personally have never had a fear of COVID and the only reason I wear a mask is to prevent the gestapo from fining or closing local businesses. The vast majority of infections are milder than the flu.
ReplyYes of course, we should NEVER have been closed, South Dakota never closed anything and had no mask mandate and their covid cases were lower than Oregon and they did not destroy any business, or increase suicide rates due to the closures like Oregon did. We need to live by faith not fear.
