I am still in shock, honestly. Difficult to focus. Similar to the feeling after 9/11. Saddened, of course. Deeply concerned for our country, and its future.
Day off for me and I should be getting things done but a lot like 9/11, I’m just refreshing news feeds in anger
I felt this way when I woke up this morning. Like I needed time away from work because I didn’t feel well. Tough to sleep last night.
I haven’t been this overwhelmed in a while. I got little done. I am still in shock over it. I keep thinking of his wife and children. This loss is unbearable.
Totally. Just saw a tribute to him with his young daughter running up to him. 😭 Plus it’s 9/11 and I have music gig tonight. No idea why I took that gig.
“The radical left will one day repeat Yamamoto’s words.
‘We have awakened a sleeping giant ‘.”
That is a though that has also been running through my mind..
Something to consider:

My daughter’s supposed to be working, but she can’t. She can’t get it out of her head to what happened. My heart has been feeling heavy since yesterday.
Drank a bottle of wine last night....very unusual....sitting here trying to day trade and just don’t have the stomach for it. Very sad.
He was a potential Pres candidate. This made him a target of international groups — like Iran.
Among other things, she's begun going through her Facebook "friends" and "unfriending" those who have posted snide comments and/or insinuations about Kirk's assassination.
In this regard, it's astonishing how many FB members are "coming out of the woodwork" and "showing their true colors" with outrageous statements like "The normalization of political violence began on Jan. 6, 2021."
Taken by itself, such a specious claim is simply stupid, and easily debunked - about what you'd expect from your run-of-the-mill college-indoctrinated leftist. But stated in direct connection with Kirk's assassination, it becomes truly grotesque.

However if you work in a high liberal environment and think that it might be better if you don't go in than your choice.
Me, I went in kind of looking forward to any fights that might come my way. I am a bit angry. So far the only reaction I have seen has been shock and dismay.
I did put the flag at half mast.
It ain’t sitting well at all with me.
“ “The normalization of political violence began on Jan. 6, 2021.”
The dishonest left is still claiming the lie that four policeman were killed on January 6. People who consume only the propaganda media have no idea that there were a quarter of a million people at the Trump rally and that most of the people who walked into the capitol did so through already open doors, taking selfies while staying between the velvet ropes before they peacefully walked out.
I’m with you
I woke hoping it wasn’t true. Having a hard time grasping it.
I’m beyond angry.
I agree with you. I can’t stop thinking about Charlie’s wife and children. Then there’s the political side of it which is upsetting. Losing such a valuable figure and such a great American. But when I began to see the extent of the gloating over his death, I am sick to my stomach, literally. I think this event has torn the mask off. I used to think when people said,” they really do hate you” that it was hyperbole. It seems clear to me now that our culture is permeated by evil and I don’t know what it is going to take to root it out.
I’m the only one that can do my job. Can’t call on. it’s contractual. But yes, I felt like staying home. I’m looking at my neighbors in a different light.
I was already physically ill over the Ukranian lady, about ready to barf ever since the murder and now this. It is difficult to stay calm.
My friend and I are huge fans of Charlie and took out our anger yesterday in video games. Every September 10-11 will be half-mast days at my home.
