Law enforcement officers have revealed that they’ve “good” video footage of the alleged shooter arriving on campus, strolling the stairwells to the roof, and firing the deadly spherical.
The FBI has launched the first photographs of the person they imagine to be the shooter.
Reactions to Kirk’s death have been a lightning rod of controversy online, with some mourning the right-wing pundit and others celebrating his demise. Those who are apathetic to Kirk’s death argue that he not only espoused racist and bigoted ideology, but he also believed that empathy was poison.
“I can’t stand the word empathy, actually,” said Kirk in 2022. ” I feel empathy is a made-up, new age time period that — it does a lot of harm. But, it is vitally efficient when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I choose more than empathy. That’s a separate matter for a different time.”
Republicans wasted no time politicizing Kirk’s death by making an attempt to blame Democrats for the rise of political violence.
Before making his commemorative 9/11 remarks at the Pentagon today, Donald Trump announced that he will probably be awarding Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously.

“Before we begin, let me express the horror and grief so many Americans at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk have felt. Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an inspiration to millions and millions of people,” he said to start his remarks.
“Our prayers are with his wonderful wife, Erika, and his beautiful children — fantastic people they are,” Trump continued. “We miss him greatly, yet I have no doubt that Charlie’s voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on.”
Pretty disgusting to see somebody as despicable as Charlie Kirk be sanitized and turned into a martyr.
