Charlie Kirk Memorial

Sisyphus : For you to say that "everyone who is armed is itching to shoot" I find morally reprehensible. I am a responsible licensed gun owner and 15-year NRA member. For me, this discussion is over.

Lizvac : I can only judge by what some write. I by no mean everybody wants to shoot, but far too many are hypervigilant. There was a thread earlier this week about armed people walking around that some scary comments.

There are reasons for my stating that Bad Bunny's values are closer to mine than Mr. Kirk's.
Mr. Bunny does much to benefit others.
With no nexus to Texas, he funded housing for a Uvalde family.
He funds programs for children with muscular disabilities.
He funds the construction of very expensive STEM centric public schools.
Christmas toy drives galore. Concerts at lower prices for residents of public housing.
Pays for clean ups of blighted areas by public housing residents.
Instead of bringing crews for sound, lights and what nots he uses locals. My 80-year-old former roommate, just made 3 years worth of incone doing sound. Most other artists use US based crews.
Music, traditional, not hip hop, programs for low income students. There's much more, but that is just to give a sense of what I value. If I offended anyone through my opinion, my apologies. I stand by my opinion and reasons for it.

Lizvac :
I did not. I have watched approximately half of his memorial service and hopefully will get to finish it tomorrow. It is incredible.

I saw the rock opera on Broadway. I Don't Know How To Love Him was uplifting.DDV1218 :

Lizvac :
I did, and it was very nice! There were about 200 people there, and everyone was peaceful and there were no "incidents" at all.

RaggedyAnn : i sat through the 5 or 6 hours. Amazed at the 200k in attendance and report of all the memorials around the globe. The testimonies of all speakers is historic. Such a profound impact by Charlie Kirk on world leaders and young lives. God Bless America. FAITH FAMILY FREEDOM
PS. IT is reported that the late Queen Elizabeth 11 loved and followed Charlie Kirk and his Turning PointsUSA.

lynnie0524 : Happy to hear that.
