Good Point: 'I Don't Think They Understand That Charlie Was the Nice Version'

As you know, Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot and killed on Wednesday afternoon at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University. All of the big lefties — Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, etc. — are all posting that political violence is never OK, and in Pritzker's case, even suggesting that President Donald Trump's rhetoric was somehow responsible for some crazed leftist assassinating Kirk, not leftists calling him "a far-right misogynist." To the Left, everyone to the right of Mao is considered "far-right." As this editor has often suggested, visit CNN's website and search "far right," followed by a search for "far left." You'll get about six hits, one about left-handed people.

We put X user Magills' entire post in the headline, but we'd like to post it again here, because we don't think the Left understands.

I don’t think they understand that Charlie was the nice version.

He wanted to talk it out and you killed him

Charlie Kirk was the nice version. And they killed him.

They killed a 31 year old father of two whose only crime was to go to university campuses and engage in good faith with people who disagreed with him. If this isn’t a wake up call then we’re never going to wake up.

If you have ever watched his videos, you will see where he defended every speaker from boos and name calling, giving them respect and rhe right to speak. The very thing all of us should be doing….and they murdered him. I’m in tears.

This is the worst part. He was literally going into their turf to talk to them out of good faith. To debate. And they shot him.

We can't coexist with those who believe you're evil and want to murder you.

This will not end well.

Unfortunate for all of us, this is a lesson they are determined to learn the hard way.

I hope they see the not so nice version.

If they had an issue with Charlie Kirk. I don’t know what to tell them. Charlie was always kind, he was never hateful.

Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the…

The post continues:

“That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.

Let's hope that Turning Point USA can carry on his legacy.
