Charlie Kirk, Political Activist and Leader of Turning Point USA, Assassinated at Utah Valley University.

9/11/25

Charlie Kirk, political activist and loving father, was assassinated at Utah Valley University on September 10th, 2025. Kirk frequently made attempts to reach the young people of America through rallies and events on campuses across the USA. In a tragic turn of events when Kirk decided to go back on tour on college campuses, he was shot in the neck and died shortly after. Authorities suspect that they have caught the man who killed Kirk, but it is not for certain. FBI agents identified and confirmed that Kirk was shot by a high-power bolt-action rifle, which was positioned around 200 yards away from Kirk's tent he was speaking from.

The assassination has brought out some of the worst and most disgusting in individuals. Let's make one thing clear as a human race; the murder of other human beings because of some political or religious difference is completely inhumane. Furthermore, the celebratory actions of some regarding the death of Kirk are of no necessity. Did you cheer when 23-year-old Ukranian Refugee Iryna Zarutska was stabbed on her train and bled to death? No. Did you cheer when two students were wounded yesterday at Colorado high school in a school shooting? No. Why are you cheering then for the death of a young father who voiced his opinion? Some of you need to rethink your life philosophy and realize that no form of violence, whether political, religious, or racial, should be cheered for. Nor should anyone's death be the cause for celebration.

Do better.
