Charlie Kirk’s life was ended at 31 years by a still unknown assassin during an outdoor speaking event at Utah Valley University. Kirk was a political commentator well known for his Turning Point USA organization and his college campus visits, where he would debate students on virtually any political or cultural issue. Kirk leaves behind a young family with two children. I hope his death will be a catalyst for a significant legacy and place in history.
Kirk’s views were conservative, with him taking up steadfast positions on abortion and gun control. For much of his career, I thought Kirk was a bit of a relic, somebody who promoted views that were somewhat lacking for current-day politics. Posts about shrinking government size or race not being real fall flat for me. When the Left wants to use the government to crush their enemies, it doesn’t help that conservatives want to merely make it a bit smaller. We will still be crushed, but maybe under a smaller anvil this time. And when whites are attacked for their race or are passed over for jobs due to their race, I fail to see how denying race will fix that issue.
That said, Kirk’s views evolved over the years. He continued to gain nuance, continued to move further to the Right, and refined his positions. As Kirk’s career advanced, his views became more tailored to what normal Americans experience daily and moved away from his earlier vague platitudes about big government and freedom.
I think of the political spectrum like a long road sometimes. People headed one direction are on the Left, those heading the other direction are on the Right. Some of us are faster, or started further from the center, or never looked back, and are way down the road on the Right. Some of us are more extreme on every issue than those who are headed the same way but still behind us. And I always thought of Kirk as headed down the same road, just not as far. People have their reasons for that. Some want to appeal to larger audiences, so they need to stay closer to where the others are. Others have a view of society that I might find a bit antiquated or naïve. Perhaps what they believe was accurate once, yet has become somewhat archaic. Looking through Kirk’s posts online about BLM, Covid, immigration, and crime — issues I care about— I find it difficult to disagree with any of it, except, again, I’m a little more “radical.”
Kirk’s views on Israel have been mostly favorable, with recent glimmers that his enchantment was fading away. I have noticed a lot of times that political beliefs come “packaged” or are clustered in certain ways. Those who dislike Muslims migrating to and living in the USA and Europe often sympathize with Israel as they see the problems Arabs and Pakistanis cause in the West, and assume Israel is dealing with the same issues in their country. Those views are often clustered. Those further along the road do not see Israel as a natural ally because we might share a similar issue, but as much of the reason why there are so many Muslims in the West to begin with, and why the US has been involved in Middle East conflicts for decades.
As jarring as watching the video of Kirk shot, slumped over, and losing a tremendous amount of blood, nearly as jarring has been the incredible volume of people saying Kirk deserved his untimely murder. There is a small group who believes Kirk was a “gatekeeper” and far too friendly to Israel, thus worthy of being killed. The concept of a gatekeeper implies there is nobody with legitimately held views that are more moderate than the person claiming they are a gatekeeper. I do not have reason to believe Kirk was purposefully keeping anybody from becoming more right-wing; if anything, much of his advocacy was to move the American youth further right.
A handful of antisocial types are celebrating the assassination because Kirk was not far-Right enough, and they believe Kirk would not have defended the death of anybody he considered a “Nazi,” despite being called one himself incessantly. Suppose that is true, suppose Kirk would not defend those further Right had one of us been killed over politics, it does not mean anything to me. That is why I am far Right — it means I believe I have a deeper understanding of how this operates, and as such, I am willing to defend people who are not as far along the road as I am because the same justification used to kill Kirk or attempting to kill Trump would be more than enough to do the same to those with my views. People who do not have the instincts to understand when they are also in danger have no place commenting on politics because they are so off-kilter it renders the majority of their analysis useless and impractical. Those who do not “get it” in this atmosphere are never going to get it, and it has never been so clear.
A quote attributed to Lenin comes to mind: “When the train of history makes a sharp turn, the passengers who do not have a good grip on their seats are thrown off.”
The majority of those celebrating the shooting believe Kirk to be a fascist, Nazi, white supremacist, or some variation of Right-wing extremist. The reality is, despite their haranguing about Kirk’s “violent rhetoric,” these people are happy when their political enemies are killed. Political violence is a firm reality when groups that are too different to reconcile attempt to live in the same place under the same government.
General sentiments from liberals seem to be that Kirk was actively working to “harm” transgender people through his “rhetoric” and that he “incited hatred” against “vulnerable populations.” As such, they find his death to be justified. One person celebrating Kirk’s death quoted Kirk saying, “blacks commit more crime than whites,” which is as true as saying bees make honey, and for that comment, they said it was “such racist speech that Kirk deserved it.”
“When you spew hateful rhetoric, what do you expect?” – A Facebook comment on the assassination. That comment is probably the purest summation of thousands of posts I have read since yesterday.
I have sympathy for Charlie Kirk because he was on the right side with his heart in the right place. From the time he was a young man, Kirk believed the country was turning into something ugly, and he wanted to make America a better place.
He spent his life working towards making things nicer, and I cannot think of anything more admirable. My sympathy for Kirk does not come because I condone all political violence, but because it happened to somebody who also felt that something had gone deeply awry in the United States. I have sympathy because Kirk was one of the good ones.
Kirk built a large audience and platform, and in his last days, he spoke about rampant crime, the death of Iryna Zarutska, foreign visa abuse in the US, and restricting legal immigration. He died doing exactly that. Charlie is a genuine martyr.
Finding who is responsible for the death of Kirk and executing him (or them) is not enough. Executing the killer of Iryna Zarutska is not enough. The problem is much larger and has been for many years. With high-fidelity cameras now prevalent, more of these crimes will be witnessed by millions of people. They are no longer a mere statistic or brief news story, but are immortalized on video, where the image haunts viewers.
We cannot keep living like this. We should not have to live like this. The reality is that half of the nation believes in letting in as many foreigners as possible and making the lives of normal Americans miserable. If we object to the crime and foreign populations, they call us Nazis and declare us worthy of liquidation. This is an untenable scenario that will boil over sooner or later.
It cannot be stressed enough that the freaks cheering and mocking Kirk’s death want the same for every one of us who is not willing to accept their version of history and their vision for the future of society. I am not willing to live in crime-ridden filth surrounded by aliens just so losers from the third world can have a “better life” because their people are unable to provide even basic levels of civilization. It has always been us or them, and that is now more evident than ever.
One of Kirk’s last posts was a photo of Iryna Zarutska dying and the words “America will never be the same.” I hope for her sake and Kirk’s that he is right. America should not be the same after this. I refuse to accept this level of crime and Left-wing terror as the new standard. We must continue down that long road for as long as it takes to end this nightmare for the last time.

Was his assassination done by an angry lone nut? Or a professional?
pop into ZeroHedge to see the killer’s mugshot.
The nasty fuck is locked up.
I expect the cops to announce a confession soon.
That was a hellava good shot
It was a decent deer hunting shot, although anyone can get lucky.
Some sources were saying 200 meters distance for the CK kill shot but I measure 125 meters via Google, and other sources say it was about 130 meters.
Briefly, let’s say you zero your .30-06 to shoot about 3 inches high at 100 meters.
That should allow you to quickly hit within a 6 inch diameter disk from 100 to 300 meters.
That is within the vitals of a deer or a human headshot.
This is called Maximum Point-Blank Range (LINK).

Very well said. This kind of mature outlook is what we need in our leaders.
They killed him because he held sway with the youth. He was a counter-insurgency operating deep within the lines of their territory and threatening their reproduction strategy. He was also moving further right, and more and more ready to become more overt and renounce the Con Inc. catechism that prevent explicit advocacy.
We know this because of the photo you chose for this article. He embraced his children and he loved them enough to give his life so they could have a better future. That photo says everything about Kirk. He was an honorable man. Now, a young American must step into his place and his organization and not let the audience and infrastructure dissolve. A young American figurehead must step in and step up and capitalize on this moment and become more explicit in his advocacy. It must no longer be an abstract what, but a whom; the right whom.
Beautiful post.
It should be added that Kirk was never afraid to name Jesus Christ as his savior and he spoke so well and clearly about why that mattered. I honestly think that has as much to do with his murder as his politics.
That may well be. This underscores the importance of putting kin and loyalty to kin above all else, and putting local/regional and religious differences aside. If those convictions are held so dear and are critical to your resolve to fight for kin than that is what is important. It is past time to close ranks. In their eyes we wear a uniform and it is the most primal layer, the one we are born as, not what is instilled afterward.
I honor Kirk’s religious convictions. He was killed because of the direction he was moving, the speed at which he was moving and because he had an open channel with the youth.
“This underscores the importance of putting kin and loyalty to kin above all else, and putting local/regional and religious differences aside. ”
The news reports that Kirk’s assassin was turned in by his cop-dad. Some (non-Whites) might argue that “loyalty to kin” includes, protecting a close relative who has committed a heinous high-profile murder. If that shooter were my son, I would pressure him relentlessly until he turned *himself* in to the authorities.
It would not bother you, then, to see your own offspring executed in the name of American “justice”, which is not really justice, but Old Testament revenge right from Day One of the founding of America. That is what they decided they’d do to Robinson even before they arrested him, compliments of his two-faced cop “father”.
Jeezus, take me now. (Note to Will Williams – don’t get mad at me for this; it’s just an expression of disbelief.)
In this case, the shooter was the ultimate traitor. He was a traitor to his kin. He murdered a leading advocate who was a rare establishment figure who openly discussed and named previously taboo subjects: TGR; anti-white hatred; openly questioning Trump on giving Jews protection from, “hate”, but not giving Whites explicit protection.
We turn in traitors and someday depending on where things go, deal with them ourselves.

Of course it would bother me. I would feel like an absolute failure as a parent if a grown son that my husband & I raised decided to do something so horrendous.
Do keep in mind, folks who receive the death penalty are able to appeal again & again, endlessly. People think 3 hots & a cot for life is more expensive than execution. It’s not. Ongoing legal challenges over decades are way more expensive to taxpayers. And Hollywood celebrities work overtime to free leftists on death row over tiny clerical mistakes. The shooter has ”’Antifa connections”’ & he killed someone the brainwashed lefties believed was pure evil. There’s no way under the sun he’ll be executed.
My husband, a civic nationalist, usually has an opinion that is polar-opposite to mine. Like yourself, he’s also an adherent Christian.
@Kim. Thanks for replying.
Now, about you blaming yourself if you raised a child who committed a pre-meditated murder. Well, not necessarily. There are some people who are “bad seeds”; yes, there are such people. Born damaged and incurable to normal parents who raised their child within the normal range of child rearing ideas. No redemption possible, no cure. Some of one parent’s reproductive cells were badly impaired somewhere along the line, i.e., the bad seed.
I am not a Christian anymore, but neither do I deny that I was raised in a Christian home, in a Christian society, and that must have had some effect on how I think about some things. But I got sick & tired of the constant “Lord, have mercy” stuff that I heard over & over again at church services. Plus the middle eastern look of church – altar and holy smoke and all that. I can’t forget some little bits of wisdom I’ve gleaned from the bible, though, over the years.
Thanks for reading.
Apparently the shooter, Tyler Robinson (say his name) did turn himself in to save face with his family. That does not change anything, however. He earned his fate.
Trump and the Utah Governor Spencer Cox, who initially called for the Death Penalty, have to have the heat maintained on them so that they don’t waffle on this one.
Sure, every Leftist attorney and soft-on-crime NGO comes out of the woodwork for the defense when the Death Penalty is on the table.
Well, the DP should not be a bargaining chip. Either the crimes are the worst crimes or they are not. If the crimes were bad enough to deserve an ultimate punishment, then that is the cost of doing business. Full stop.
It might cost the State more to execute someone than keeping them locked up for the rest of their natural life without the chance of parole ─ or sentencing them to 400 years like James Fields, which I have always thought was stupid since nobody lives that long. Ironically, if the DP had been on the table, then James Fields would have gotten a competent legal defense.
So what they are really saying with multiple century-long sentences is that we have too many Schweinerei jurists who will try to subvert justice any chance they can get.
And to say that justice has a budget is a very bourgeois argument that ultimately fails even humanitarianism in my opinion. This is how “budget hawk” politicians fail us so badly on many levels. I would question the budgetary math in any case. Supermax ain’t cheap.
Oh, the contortions that we make just not to execute a Death Sentence for some misanthropic dirtball ─ sometimes appeals twenty-five years later or more.
In Idaho, Thomas Eugene Creech was sentenced to death for murders committed in 1974. The sentence was eventually commuted to Life by some misbegotten coterie of juristic jackasses. Then Creech killed somebody else whilst in prison in 1981, thus earning a new Death Sentence. He will probably just die soon of old age, thus saving the continence of a lot of weak public officials sworn to serve us with some measure of honor and human vigilance.
Although sociopathic criminals do fear death above all else, the thing is that Life Without Parole is just as hopeless, if not more so, than Capital Punishment. This means that it takes extensive Super Maximum security or solitary confinement to keep these violent weirdos under wraps ─ all so that officials don’t have to clutch their pearls because the State killed a scumbag who desperately deserved it.
In 2024, Idaho finally tried to execute the capital sentence on Mr. Creech via Lethal Injection. But incredibly, they botched it and the executioner could not find the vein so they called off the execution. I find the whole thing suspicious.
Idaho has switched its capital punishment method from the problematical Lethal Injection to the Firing Squad, but for some reason the execution method still has to involve constructing medieval fortress architecture, and what I call capital punishment “theater.”
Apparently nobody knows how to unceremoniously march somebody out into a field with a pole standing and some sandbags behind it and have a line of volunteers shoot the condemned in the heart. Easy peasy.
Because Leftists were able to successfully organize boycotts of medical-grade drugs to prisons that performed capital punishment, some states have abandoned the problematical Lethal Injection method or at least provided alternatives. Arizona, for example, refurbished its Lethal Gas Chamber despite vocal Jewish outrage. It has not been used since 1999, but hopefully again real soon.
We certainly have to have a fair justice system, and it certainly does not advance the cause of justice nor public safety if we allow the innocent to be punished.
I don’t have a problem with a death sentence that involves a decade or so of appeals before the system ponies up the will to do what has to be done and lances the boil.
But with a pusillanimous justice system we all die a death of a thousand cuts. This is where civilization crawls off to die.
In the 1930s, both Hitler and Roosevelt toured around in open cars and met their people. Both experienced many unsuccessful assassination attempts.
On February 15th, 1933 a nutty naturalized immigrant named Giuseppe Zangara took a shot at President-elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt with a .32 caliber revolver. Giuseppe missed FDR and hit Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, who succumbed to an infection on March 6th and died. Zangara then got a fatal date with the electric company on March 20, 1933 for Cermak’s assassination. Zangara only spent a total of ten days on Death Row.
It think this is an extreme case and not something that I would advocate.
Some might legitimately argue that the short and pathetic 32 year old man, Zangara deserved some clemency. Maybe he had toilet training issues or was bullied as a boy ─ or maybe like Bryan Kohberger, who slaughtered four students with a Marine Corps Ka-Bar knife at the University of Idaho in 2022, he had high-functioning autism or Aspergers and didn’t know how to talk to women. Whatever.
We all have our issues and yet most of us do not kill innocent people. The State was wounded by these crimes as much or even more so than the poor victims.
But the idea of decades on Death Row so that some pious types don’t have to clutch the beads does not serve the course of justice either. The idea sickens me to the core.
If our country stands for anything, it should be public safety and order; it must terminate the lives of the people who, for example, shot Charlie Kirk and savagely ripped out the life of Iryna Zarutska.
President Trump and Utah Governor Spencer Cox have called for the Death Penalty for the man that shot Charlie Kirk. Now that the man is in custody they seem to be waffling.
We need to hold our officials to account.
🙂
Perhaps so. Reportedly, “Charlie Kirk’s assassin was allegedly involved in antifascist discord channels where they frequently posted about killing Christians.”
Well, we now know the perpetrator and he seems to be full of AntiFa ideas based on the shell casings engraved with stuff like:
“Hey Fascist! CATCH!”
“Bella Ciao!” (Goodbye, Beautiful. An Italian WWII Commie Partisan song.)
“If you read this, you are GAY Lmao” (typical Online trolling).
I haven’t heard of any anti-Christian rhetoric from our shooter ─ and he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would be whinging about an imminent Handmaid’s Tale under Il Duce Trump.
Also, the notion of his Father being a retired Sheriff’s Deputy or something like that was quickly debunked by a law enforcement statement.
The social media fact-checkers need to realize that Robinson is not an uncommon surname.
🙂
Thanks for including a link to that song, Scott. I’d been warned before “proper” Italians really do not use “ciao.” And now I know it’s popular in communist anthem.
So is Trump just gonna sit on his hands and tweet about this or are we gonna see him do something? Anything?
Trump needs to follow up and keep the pressure on for the Death Penalty or handle the assassination Federally as a terrorist act.
He also needs to double-down on sending National Guard troops to augment law enforcement in violent Democrat-run cities (or any violent Republican-run cities but I don’t know of any).
🙂
“When you spew hateful rhetoric, what do you expect?”
The US justice system tacitly endorses this sentiment.
It is defacto legal to “punch a Nazi”.
It is defacto illegal for a “Nazi” to resist being punched.
The Blues Brothers will never be prosecuted for plowing their car into a group of Illinois Nazis, because of “prosecutorial discretion”. But if the Illinois Nazis defend themselves, they will receive excessive sentences because of “exemplary sentencing”.
There are many Antifa members who committed serious crimes, the statute of limitations on which have not expired, and they have never been prosecuted because the prosecutors sympathize with Antifa ideology.
On the other hand, there are right wing men in prison who were wrongly convicted because of prejudice against their political opinions, or who received excessive sentences because of their political opinions, or who were imprisoned because of inherently unjust laws designed to target right wingers.
President Trump and Republican governors and mayors need to prosecute every single left wing political terrorist for every single act of murder, assault, arson, looting and vandalism, and they need to give pardons and commutations to every single wrongly imprisoned right wing man.
The obituary for Charlie Kirk is as insightful and empathetic as the analysis of the overall situation is crystal clear and perfect. In my opinion, this is one of Mr. Houck’s best essays among his many great ones.
Two state solution, anyone?
Great article! The shooter doesn’t look white to me—more like a mestizo. 🙃
You’ve got a good heart, Rich; some people just get it.
To anyone on Telegram, this is a nice tribute: https://t.me/Retards_TikTok/4963
The left is typical example of what happens when you don’t subjugate and cull the dysgenic freaks and undesirables. Industrial society and capitalism created too much ease and comfort to a point when the child mortality rate vastly declined and the multitudes of useless eaters were able to survive and pass on their genes.
Mattoids cause society problems.
“Just because you’re paranoid , doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you”.
I urge others here and in related places to be careful about the Trump Administration, Conservative Inc and just the various “Js” going this way:
“We need to clamp down on, remove the most extremists, the most dangerous, violent haters on the extreme Left and the extreme Right – Antifa, Palestinian anti Israel Hamas terrorists and REAL NAZIS, FASCISTS, RACISTS – Charlie Kirk was a man of people, reason and he opposed BOTH these worst haters in the extreme Left and the EXTREME RIGHT. We defeated Hitler and contained and finally brought down Communism in the USSR – now we need to do the same here in the USA. Charlie Kirk wasn’t a real NAZI, a Real FASCIST HATER but there are real FASCIST HATERS look at….. (us).
And don’t fool yourself. Conservative Inc, Christian pro Israel Christian Zionists and I’m afraid most of Charlie Kirk’s donors would, did, will throw us under the bus to keep their jobs, social status, golf club memberships.
This is from David Sims at whitebiocentrism.com, casting some doubt on the official narrative, food for thought at least.
Despite a plausible simple account of the Charlie Kirk assassination, there are still a few gaps in our knowledge that could support the idea of Israeli involvement.
One of the most important gaps has to do with the location of Tyler Robinson’s gun, both as he approached the rooftop (and was observed by several cameras in a stairwell), and as he made his escape from the rooftop after shooting Charlie Kirk. At no time can a rifle, especially not a long barreled, bolt-action 30.06, be seen on his person.
While it might be possible for such a rifle, if taken apart, to fit into Tyler Robinson’s backpack, its assembly and disassembly would take time and, perhaps, tools. After the shooting, when Tyler Robinson had to make haste, there wouldn’t have been time for him to disassemble the gun and stow it in pieces in his backpack once more.
Further, the gun was reportedly found whole, completely assembled, wrapped inside a towel, in a wooded area that Tyler Robinson passed through. Did he take further time out of his urgent escape plans to put the rifle back together again?
Alternatively, we may suppose that the rifle was carried up to the roof in advance, possibly by someone else, for Tyler to find and use. And we might be tempted to think that Tyler intentionally left the gun on the roof for someone else to remove and relocate to the wooded area, from which Tyler himself was long gone.
I have, of course, no idea who that someone else might be.
The pro-transsexual and leftist markings that were reportedly “engraved” (not merely inked) on the bullets in the rifle’s magazine were evidently red herrings. It wasn’t the trannies, this time. We were meant to think so… by somebody.
More from David Sims on the possible Jewish angle. I think the theory is that Kirk was beginning to be critical of Israel and if they lost him it would be a major PR debacle. It could be far-fetched but Sims does make some though provoking points
“But who took the damned rifle from the rooftop to the wooded area and left it there, wrapped in a towel? It apparently wasn’t Tyler. And it seems likely that Tyler wasn’t the one who brought the rifle to the rooftop, either.
There is one other strange thing. Immediately after the shot was heard and Charlie Kirk fell over, fatally wounded in the neck, a middle aged man of Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity began screaming “I did it! Shoot me!” (or some such thing). The guards and law enforcement personnel on the scene were distracted — or pretended to be distracted — by this Jew’s dramatic performance.
It soon became clear that the Jew wasn’t the shooter. He had no guns on his person, for example. The cops charged him with “obstructing justice,” which seems reasonable, since it appears likely that he was a decoy intentionally planted to distract the LEOs, or, perhaps, to give the LEOs a plausible pretext for not surrounding the building whose roof Tyler Robinson was about to jump down from — without the gun.”
More CCTV video has been released now and it shows the shooter running along the roof and then jumping off the roof with something long that is wrapped in a black towel. The video shows him crossing over the street in front of the copse of trees where the rifle was found.
Before the shooting, Robinson apparently walked with a limp into position, hiding the rifle under his back shirt and backpack with the barrel stuffed down his right pant leg past his butt. He did not disassemble the rifle afterwards, but he might have attached the scope beforehand while waiting on the roof not far from his final shooting position.
Gray Hughes Investigates has some of the new video and analyzes it (LINK).
Robinson definitely has the gun when he escapes. I am not sure why he left it in the wooded area where it was easily found, but carrying the rifle inconspicuously in a hurry was probably awkward for him.
🙂
It’s been reported that he lived with a transgender “partner” (a man pretending to be a woman). So he was doing the trannies’ work, but wasn’t one himself.
was Tyler Robinson at least until recently a, a Mormon in good standing with his communion and brethren?
Doesn’t seem to have been. He never went on a two-year mission at age 19 and was apparently cohabitating with a tranny queer or furry freak. The only newspaper reports that I could find were basically that the neighbors said Robinson kept to himself and that they hadn’t seen him in church for a long time.
🙂
Jewish finance dude talks about inflation and today’s madness https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3I6q4m3p6iM. I wonder what Ezra Pound would have said? Sure is a funny old world.
I’ve been reading comments online. Leftists are still gloating and ablaze with cruel glee, or else moving on to pretending to be above it all and morally superior to the right. On the right I see people saying, you don’t know for sure that Charlie Kirk was a Nazi, therefore it was not morally right to kill him. That’s how brave and principled the right is.
No this could not be a turning point for the U.S.A.
If people have no principled objections to the principles of their prospective executioners, if people have nothing positive and real on which they would take a stand, but only an animal feeling of dull nervousness about where things are heading, there is nothing that can be done for them.
Cattle advancing slowly between the narrowing rails of an abattoirs feel nervous too. It doesn’t help.
Anything worth accomplishing will be accomplished by people who have firm and real principles such as White nationalist principles.
A very long time ago when I was at agriculture college we had a visit to the local abattoir. The trick was to keep the cattle upwind of the operation where they could happily munch away on hay until a brief walk down the chute and they didn’t even know what hit them. But as for today’s industrial sized abattoir I hate to think. Stressed meat anyone?
And, I suppose, to keep today’s youth upwind, just give them a cell phone and lead them into the chute…………….
