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.

We're in our 70s. When a approved vaccine is available we'll get it. No brainer!
ReplyI am 72 years old. You darn tootin' I'm getting the vaccine.
ReplyAs soon one is approved and ready for everyone I will be in line. I will also get the flu shot just like I do every year.
ReplyAbsolutely! I have other health issues. I get the flu shot every year and it’s helped tremendously.
ReplyAre you kidding me? It's the only way to get back to normal.
ReplyThe reason why we don't have some of the worst different kinds of pestilence is because of vaccines. Unless anti-vaxxers would like to experience polio and small pox again. Those sounded like fun.
ReplyIt is not going to be a live virus vaccine. Everyone should get it.
ReplyI have been vaccinated my entire life for various conditions they all have worked for me. Glad to have had them.
