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.

Irony: “It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights…” Charlie Kirk 2023

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.

It is a big problem everywhere do to the soft headed, soft on crime leftist D. A. 's . Oregon and America has to vote out these leftist tyrants that are destroying our State and Country!!!
ReplyMail being stolen. Break-ins. Drug trafficking, drug and drunk driving incidents etc.
ReplyAlot of homeless addicts
ReplyYES, it is a BIG problem! Lots of homeless addicts everywhere breaking into cars and homes, shoplifting and trashing the city. About time the Bend city council steps up and has them respect Bend residents and the law.
ReplyJudges need to stop being pansies and convict and jail criminals!
ReplyToo soft on crime and punishment! Drug laws in Oregon are too lenient! Homeless are allowed rights no other Oregonians are allowed. If you don’t believe that last sentence, try camping near Drake Park and see how long that lasts!
ReplyWell, I understand it is a much bigger problem on the East side of Bend, but I live in a relatively safe neighborhood, so I am not worried at this point.
ReplyThere is crime From government all the way to the homeless. We need a complete societal change to fix the "crime" problem!
ReplyIt used to not be but it is now
ReplySomeone has to pay, Companies pass the cost to customers just to stay in business. It affects your insurance rates, food costs and housing. Drugs are the greatest reason for crime. Using drugs may not be a crime but drugs aren't free.
ReplySignificant problem.
ReplyHummel will be gone in a few months. Then he can move to Portland where he will fit in well with the woke crowd eager to participate in more social experiments.
ReplyCrime is on the upswing in Central Oregon. With increase in population with people moving here, you get the good, the bad and the ugly.
