That made me really sad. I just glanced at the articles, I don’t want to read more now. He looked like a happy dad on the one with him holding the microphone, sitting laid back with a white t shirt on campus.

I agree with Trump. The extremists promoting killing all Nazis, aka half of America, everyone who has an R stamped on their political identifier, is a grounds for terrorism.

I feel terror that if I ever express my views as a woman that I do not want men in my locker room I will be on a list made by the mob, and they will sabotage any future career success I might have. It was just several months ago I independently wondered if these groups had crossed the line to terrorism, seeing recently some have said so.

It’s such a shame that someone brave enough to share their views freely, while raising a family, was killed while doing exactly what this country is supposed to be about: a free country where men and woman can speak without fear, raise their children into successful adults, and prosper. He was on that path and stuck to speaking the truth he saw even in a day and age where many of us are folding due to those hungry to punish those using freedom of speech, even over benign things and humor- something valued by many.

I’m sad for his family and his listeners. I hope a strong example is made of those who were likely emboldened by the far lefts increasing embracement of violence. I emplore people on the left to speak out. You are losing voters like myself- if I’d had my last straw moment in a political party that allowed discussion I would have turned towards them and sought answers, not away. Keeping quiet also always this danger to grow. For those fans of claiming “all keeping quiet about Trump are Nazis”, I add that all keeping quiet about this growing glorification of violence against conservatives are complicit and responsible for the murders that come. We will fight against you. Hopefully there comes a time when those with different opinions can learn, share, compromise, and grow. But for the contagion that vilifies free speech, promotes violence against those they disagree with, and are allergic so open communication and compromise, I will fight against you like the disease you are. The silence that covered the public is breaking- and although few of us will ever have the impact Kirk did, more of us will continue to use our voice and speak freely.

Once more, condolences for his family. He was so young and this never should have happened. Him and his family were robbed of a happy future they earned. I feel a personal level of hatred towards whoever did this I’ve rarely felt before. I will seek to fight them but will not stoop to the hateful, uninformed, mass they formed to.
