What Killed Charlie Kirk
The Tablet ^ | 11 Sep 2025 | Liel Leibovitz

...

The list of iniquities, sadly, goes on and on. In the name of “criminal justice reform,” for example, hordes of violent criminals were let loose, backed up by progressive attorneys general and activist judges and local legislators who robbed law enforcement officials of any means of meting out justice. Bail, we were told, was modern day Jim Crow. Prison was slavery in other forms. Policing was racist. And when savages like Decarlos Brown Jr., with 14 prior violent convictions to his record, were set loose, it was only a matter of time before they produced a knife and slaughtered Iryna Zarutska, a young Ukrainian refugee, on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina. When brave men like Daniel Penny, who successfully neutralized a deranged violent criminal threatening to harm fellow commuters on the New York subway, intervened, they were dragged through the coals in court and on TV. When a police officer detained a repeated violent felon high on fentanyl and methamphetamines, leading to his death, American cities burned for days, with Democrat politicians taking a knee and corporations paying vast fortunes to a group, Black Lives Matter, that vowed to dismantle the nuclear family and failed to report what it was doing with its vast funds. Put bluntly, then, we have angry, violent, and hopeless people because many of our societal institutions worked assiduously to produce them since at least 2008.

All of this should be entirely coherent to any serious student of politics. What we have here is a group of people assembling an entirely coherent construction for the purpose of holding and maintaining power. And to keep this charade going even when it got patently ridiculous—arguing, say, that there were 57 genders, or that houses of worship had to be closed during COVID...

Exactly right.

“What we have here is a group of people assembling an entirely coherent construction for the purpose of holding and maintaining power. And to keep this charade going even when it got patently ridiculous—arguing, say, that there were 57 genders, or that houses of worship had to be closed during COVID...”

And those seeking power in this case rejected Christianity and have no morals or ethics.

The person who killed Mr. Kirk was the son of a sheriff, in college and had no criminal record as far as can be searched for. Having someone who’s radicalized that goes postal cannot be stopped without going after those who are doing the radicalization. He was never in “the system” to be early released. There was no reason until he committed the crime to deny him his second amendment rights either. Unless you want to go down the road of mental health evaluations before any firearm purchases which gets political fast. Same for red flag laws, could his father who says he got more political lately have gone to a judge and without due process hit him with a red flag order and take his guns? Again the left will judge shop.

The system he was radicalized in was the university system.

And Charlie Kirk understood this himself. He was a true hero who understood the danger and did his mission anyway with love and humor and great courage.
