Scenes From Charlie Kirk’s Spontaneous Memorial in Utah
Outside of the Utah hospital where Charlie Kirk was taken Wednesday, a crowd of families, college students, and Proud Boys gathered to mourn.
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. As WIRED has reported, right-wing figures including President Donald Trump immediately seized on Kirk’s killing, in part by casting his death as irrefutable evidence that the left is intolerant of open debate. As the couple listened to the radio, Calhoun became irate at what he deemed the “left’s intolerance,” specifically the irresponsible speculation from an MSNBC commentator that Kirk could have been killed by a supporter firing a gun “ in celebration.” He told me that he’d never purchased a MAGA hat before, in part because he didn’t like all the acrimony it spawned, but pledged that he would keep this one forever.
