I believe that – as time passes – this will be remembered as a “JFK moment” for a generation of young, earnest Americans who tried to engage in political speech on campus.
He’s been talked about in terms of MLK’s assassination. Might be an excellent comparison.

I am on a religious pilgrimage in Italy. Prayers have been offered and will soon be offered at Mass we’ll be at in a hour or so. This news has gone ‘round the world.

This is an EXTREMELY dark moment for America! A happy warrior has been slaughtered, gunned down, assassinated all because of his beliefs. A line has been crossed… I am so sad – a young man, son, father, brother, husband friend — no words, just prayers in this moment of profound sorrow and loss.

Our Fore Fathers saw that this attack would happen and James Madison wrote the Bill of Rights to protect Our Constitution against it.

Charlie Kirk in his engagement with students was clear, concise and civil. I looked at a couple of mainstream media reports this morning both from the US and overseas. They want to blame the whole country but without being specific to avoid admitting the trouble makers and slanderers have come from a particular ideological side. None of them have been prepared to discuss Kirk’s main views and their merits, whether they are good or bad, how relevant they are to all that is wrong in the USA.
They had to report on the murder without saying anything about the motives of those pushing hatred of Kirk. They have been disingenuous and deceitful in the way they worded their story. Contrast their response to the death of Charlie Kirk and that of George Floyd. Notice that Kirk’s supporters are not protesting en masse and burning down cities and causing mayhem. The role of organizations like the SPLC should be exposed in their promotion of anarchy, publicly shamed and shut down. Hateful politicians should also be held to account for branding their opponents as Nazis and booted out of government.
Floyd was a cover for the swamp to put their plans and paid posters in motion. You get a few unstable people caught up in it, but generally those types of protests are not organic. Certainly the stand down orders from police are calculated.
However, the response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination are completely organic. The response will not be violent but it will be unmistakeable.
If my 15yo is any indication, free speech just became the most important issue for the next 3 generations
Head’s up that the other side and some on “ours” are claiming that that this video is an AI fake. It’s literally one of the top posts on Reddit right now as I type this.
The one of President Trump above? Is that what you’re referring to?

A very fine and dignified set of remarks by our President.
The President said what needed to be said:
That the constant, unremitting demonization of conservative speakers bears Much responsibility for yesterday’s assassination – as well as other attacks in recent years.
May Mr Kirk rest in peace… may his family find comfort in the arms of their faith… and the grateful appreciation by untold millions, for Charlie Kirk’s efforts to bring logic, reason, and vigorous but Civilized debate to our political process.

Trump was reading a prepared statement in that speech, not winging it. For that reason I’m especially struck that his words preemptively rule out any lone gunman theories.
I don’t see any way he could make the following statements unless he had intel developed before the incident of a large, multi-organizational conspiracy:
“My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country.”
He then conflates Kirk’s assassination with other violent events–not as generated by an “atmosphere of violence” or “heightened political tensions” but as organized, conspired, planned events:
“From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania last year, which killed a husband and father, to the attacks on ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a healthcare executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalize and three others…”
Now, either the Administration has already been investigating and identifying these organizations and know that they are colluding,
OR…
we’re seeing a Gulf of Tonkin pretext to initiate a wide sweep of arrests that–while allegedly criminal–are primarily political.
Just as Vance’s bio is suspiciously similar to Obama’s, we have to be alert to the possibility that the Trump Administration could be used to actually continue the weaponization of federal agencies, under a different banner but a similar narrative.
The more I see, the more I believe that this is primarily a spiritual battle using powerful human pawns. If so, we need to move now to the frontlines of that battle in militant prayer–not for one political party or theory over another, but for God and good over the Evil one and his allies.
Good grief. Let’s step back from the coffee. Was this a conspiracy, likely. Will the DOJ and FBI finally awaken to the evil that is these commie bastards, perhaps. But all this about Vance and prayer to stop the evil doers, let’s not discredit your message with sideways thinking. Focus.
If the left truly reverenced MLK we wouldn’t be in this mess right now.

Seems a good line of investigation would be a close look at elements of Antifa on the campus of Utah Valley University.
Antifa ideology definitely fits the profile of violent extremism and appears to have connections especially among proffessionals in university / college settings.
Details of building access and security measures would be very useful in planning for this shooting. Likely the shooter visited the University and may even had practiced “walk throughs” prior to the attack. Having an established “friendly” on campus would certainly have helped in preparation.

The driving force behind much of today’s political violence…
They will double down. This was their objective and it worked.
I don’t know why, but it feels like that trans kill cult is involved. Talking to my daughter, who watched all the videos (sadly they were all posted immediately), she pointed out that the whole thing felt like a coordinated set up. Starting with the trans person asking Charlie the question about trans people, then Charlie pick up the mic and answers briefly. The person then says “great!” And that’s when he is shot. Like a signal or something. Then you have the guy in the one rooftop yelling “I did it!” To cause distraction and the whole thing devolves into mayhem and confusion. Again, coordinated. Planned. But seemingly centered around the trans issue. My gut says whatever that trans kill cult is called, I believe they did this. May Charlie rest in peace and may God comfort and bless his family greatly. 💔🙏💔

If we believe that these shooters are unstable and easily influenced leftists acting alone then definitely blame the left and their rhetoric and call for it to stop.
But if these shooters are paid professionals hired by those with vested interest and trillions at stake, the response should be different.
Remember, they fed us the same lies about Reagan’s failed assassination.
FACT:
“If you hold the same beliefs as Charlie Kirk, then the only reason he was a target and not you is that he was better known.”
I believe that – as time passes – this will be remembered as a “JFK moment” for a generation of young, earnest Americans who tried to engage in political speech on campus.
The question is, how will they react.
What a terrible thing for them to see.
Yes – a friend’s 15-year old son said that was all he and his friends were talking about… the senselessness of it.
My 15yo son is furious and clearly sees the motivation as political.
He’s been talked about in terms of MLK’s assassination. Might be an excellent comparison.

Right on target – the Left and the Leftist msm bear responsibility for their constant insane attacks.
Their insane attacks are never specific just generalize someone as a “Nazi”.
Basically being a good patriotic God fearing American gets you labeled.

Do DS elements need to awaken to other’s evil or do we need to awaken to the possibility of their evil?
With the SS failures we could be without the POTUS and VP this week too.
I’m so glad that Trump called out the leftists for inciting violence.
I hoped he wouldn’t go all ‘kum-ba-ya’ on this.
Change MLK day to CJK day….
Really piss off the left…
Make him immortal, as well as what the left did to him…
If the left truly reverenced MLK we wouldn’t be in this mess right now.

We must expand our thinking. Your second scenario has great merit.
The trans stuff on the weapon and ammo could be a false flag meant to deflect from the real assassin.
“Remembering the moment Charlie Kirk found out President Trump won 2024 🙏🏽
Charlie worked so hard to ensure the victory we are now enjoying. He was a true light, legend, a hero & shining example for all young Americans”
https://x.com/TheRightMelissa/status/1965882956863754261
Charlie gave thanks and made his tribute to God. God is great! God is good! All the time!
Sept 10 2025 onward be forever remembered as Charlie Kirk Day. May those who gloat at his assassination be forever reminded
Charlie Kirk, say his name, Demons-crats.
My prayer is that when I die, all of hell rejoices that I am out or the fight. CS Lewis. We are seeing hell rejoice at Charlie Kirk’s death.
Very powerful and appropriate. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
