Despite conflicting opinions on Charlie Kirk, he always remained true to himself and his beliefs. He tried to create a dialogue with followers, and that was somewhat respected. Unfortunately, the thirty-one-year-old was speaking at Utah Valley University when he was answering a question. Charlie was giving a response, and then, he seemingly was shot in the neck before most news outlets stopped sharing footage. He was rushed to the hospital, and within a short time, President Donald Trump released a statement. It was shared that Charlie had succumbed to the gunshot and passed away.

Many spoke out about what happened and how violence is never the answer. Regardless of one’s opinion, no one is demanding that anyone listen or agree.
