@wired: At around 8 pm on Wednesday, the motorcade with Charlie Kirk’s body left the Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem, Utah. Along the road, the 100 or so people who showed up for an impromptu memorial for Kirk stopped what they were doing, lined the sidewalk, and stared as it sped away from the mountains and into the dark. One pack of young “elders” from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints punctuated the air with a rendition of “Amazing Grace.” Kirk had been at nearby Utah Valley University for the kickoff stop of his planned American Comeback Tour when a sniper allegedly stood on the roof of a building 200 or so yards away and took aim, killing him with one shot. WIRED sent writer Jasper Craven and photographer Sinna Nasseri to Utah to report on an unrelated story. They drove over to Orem to try to make sense of the moment.

LeslieTravels :

These AI photos or something else. You have no credibility.

P-Rob :

He has 18 year olds thinking he was some type of genius in any way. We are so far from unity in this country

mangogogirl :

trying recast him as a moderate is CRAZY work

if kirk is middle ground then politics as we know it are doomed.

You lie as usual.

All_hail_the_ottoman :

Yum, I love my daily dose of propaganda.

ElfDad :

how exactly did he "attack black people"?

Garrett :

Let me fix a little part of your post. He wasn't peddling "right wing politics", he was peddling common fucking sense, to be a good person, to do better things, to live righteously.

gregq879 :

The left is so desperate to demonize Kirk and the right that they have to throw in little jabs (which are false) when reporting on a peaceful vigil. Let me guess, disappointed that there weren’t any riots that you could use to divert blame towards the right?

Chris Boudreau :

Disagreeing with a group of people is not “attacking” them

ben :

We are a majority, a majority that refuses to be silent anymore

michaelchachko :

He made an entire generation of our country get involved into politics. Whether you liked him or not, kids started to care about what’s going on in America and the world. Charlie was a genuine person with strong religious beliefs. He never once encouraged people to hurt others. He said what many of us think.

UR Momma :

Nobody deserves to be shot because of their opinion

Sl33prB!ld :

Middle ground?? If they truly see him as middle ground then we are completely cooked. But that explains them thinking Biden was far left …

rileex :

Over a podcaster, mind you

Sam :

gotta love how even after he died they still call him an evil person

John Osawatomie Brown :

he only attacked actions never the person.
