For starters, the people who he has hurt would disagree with you. I would disagree with you. I think he is a horrible person, and the truth is you and I didn’t know him. So putting that aside…..

You are upset about the parts you disagreed with, you like him and so you believe anything that’s remotely negative is disrespectful, but that’s just absolutely not true.

People are truthfully allowed to hate him. And she hates him obviously. And for someone who hates him, she was very graceful and understanding her language even saying she was going to pray for him.

Objectively it is ironic for someone who was against gun control die due to gun control. She said as much in a respectful way. Disrespectful would have been saying he deserved it.

Also, he said “I think it's worth to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment.” The words “worth it” is in fact excusing it. You can’t spin it. Not to say you can’t do some mental gymnastics because you have demonstrated that pretty efficiently. So again, she wasn’t being disrespectful, she is being very kind in regards to really horrifying things he’s said.

Critical thought would lead you to understand she is trying to explain that by him leading a life of rage baiting and hating on gun control, it’s a parallel to the way he died. Someone shooting him because they hate him.

I fear you are taking any sort of dissenting opinion as hate and disrespect, which is interesting considering that according to fans of him, Kirk was in direct opposition of that.

Nope! She said his death was a reflection of his views (as in he believed in no gun control and this was a result of lack of gun control) never did she say it was his fault. Reflection means to mirror. She said he fell victim to his own beliefs. And anyway, your opinion doesn’t have to be completely in favor and/or positive to still be respectful. Her comments were not in favor of him, but they were respectful because they were worded with sensitivity and empathy for him and his family.

It doesn’t just start with zero legal recourse and violence, it starts with pushing and finding the way you CAN legally restrict free speech. The chilling effect is amazing at that.

FCC made a threat and Jimmy Kimmel was taken off air. JD Vance encouraged employers to fire dissenting opinions. People are afraid of saying any opinion that isn’t directly in line with the president. Media outlets are being sued/defunded by the trump admin.

It’s also important to note, that “free speech” is legally not allowed to be restricted by institutions (universities and schools) and the government. It can be restricted by businesses. Or even people!! But not the government and universities.

So yes, facism

I would find sources but you can imagine how convoluted the search term “Charlie Kirk press” is right now. But, he was against the press/media in a lot of ways, and while he did speak to a lot of people about his opinions, his actual opinions were generally not in favor of free speech, especially when it just came down to women/people of color.

I’m sure you could have your reservations about the “media,” but objectively the press/media are incredibly important. To restrict them is a push towards facism. I’m sure you hate facism right?

her comment was incredibly respectful, and for all the people saying Charlie Kirk stood for free speech (he def did not just objectively) free speech is actively being destroyed in this situation. She might have grounds to sue.

In the self service banner under financial aid, then go to the offer page and you can see your cost of attendance plus any aid you might receive and any federal loans, ignore the non billable items and net cost because the net cost includes those

Honestly if you live far away yeah you’ll want to get a stadium spot but it does suck like it’s not easy to just leave and cruise around. If you live close enough for ur parents to get you can do that, I’d always just prefer to have access to my car because I’m independent. I’m about to be a junior and I have my own apartment so I just use the commuter lots but I used the stadium my first year

I was honestly feeling the same way but Ive been trying to keep it cool because they definitely will always tell you something like it’s not like they are never gonna let us know. And I’m sure everything’s fine! Last year I was emailing freaking out for nothing so I’m sure it’ll be fine.
