Am I the only one?

Posted on 09/19/2025 3:00:42 PM PDT by 2nd Amendment

I'm not feeling so well the past week. And it's about Charlie Kirk. Honestly I never followed Charlie very much before his assassination. I rewpected him and knew he was partially responsible for electing Trump. I watched his presentations this past week and I find myself agreeing virtually with everything he said. I find boldness in areas that I was too intimidated to say in public. I fnd myself unworthy of even tying his shoes. He lived a Christlike life like his Savior. Now I just feel an emptiness in my soul as we mourn this humble principled servant. I know many new chapters have been created by his death and his wife is one of the most heroic figures i have ever encountered. I just feel that a part of me is hurting and the bullet that took his life took a little bit of my life. Incidentally my godly brother in Montana went to be with his Lord at about the same time as Charlie. Perhaps the met on the way up to heaven.

No, it's not just you. Many, including people that surprised me, recognize that Charlie was a special person that comes along rarely for many decades until the next arrival.

Charlie was responsible for the youth vote that went heavily for Trump for the first time in decades that have traditionally voted for the Demonic party.

It was disappointing to see how many people that have lost their humanity
celebrating the murder of Charlie. All those college students at the event who witnessed it have been traumatized for the rest of their lives, plus everyone else in the world who aren’t heartless.

Yes. That saddens me a great amount. Nobody should have to see something that evil, that horrible, especially because Charlie Kirk was such a good person admired by so many. I fear and pray for all those present who saw it happen in front of them.

You’re not the only one, no; not at all.

So sorry for your loss.

We watched Charlie Kirk’s videos. We were impressed with his debating skills and his steadfast commitment to Christ.

We feel a deep loss. I know I am surprised at how deeply felt the void he left in me really is.

I am also enraged at the callous, hateful comments and the outright lies being told by the scum on the left.
They are trying to justify this hateful act and want more of it. I am ready. Bring it on.

I doubt that Charlie would want you feeling an emptiness in your soul due to his death (or your brother/friend in Montana). Sorrow, certainly, is appropriate.

What can you do to honor them going forward? Consider, get counsel, and then pursue. Are there sins you are cuddling? Projects you should undertake. Responsibilities you should handle better? Habits you need to keep or break?

I feel certain that is a result they would have wanted for all of us.

It has hit me the same way. I’m sick and sad, and I’d like to see some payback, personally. I’m not into turning the other cheek.

I keep having the irrational thought that it has to be undone, that he has to be brought back. It’s impossible to accept every time I see videos or hear his name.

I lost my dad two days after Rush Limbaugh died; when it rains it pours. Mourn their deaths, but never stop being grateful for the blessing of having witnessed their lives.

I watched him occasionally in YT debate videos and was amazed at his intelligence and encyclopedic knowledge of the Bible, especially since I knew he never went to college. He was also exceedingly brave with his Change My Mind campus visits, albeit naive about the forces he was up against, and I always feared for his safety.

On rewatching his videos, I’ve come to realize we lost someone greater than I ever gave him credit for. I think he was the prototype for what we should all try to become, but the demons killed him before he could finish his mission on Earth. It always seemed to me that he was in a hurry—fast-talking, quick thinker, didn’t suffer fools gladly—but now I think he may have known he wasn’t long for this world and was trying to get as much done as possible in his effort to bring us back to Christ.

I’ve not been eating, sleep is fitful at best, random crying jags and all that may have affected my immune system because I went to urgent care for an ear unbearable earache.
That in itself is remarkable because normally I’m the type who will just duct tape my intestines back in and walk it off.

Otitis media, both ears, painful fluid.

Mentally I just feel like I’ve stepped into another terrifying dimension.

I’ve read that since we are literally the body of Christ, we are spiritually suffering the grievous physical wound inflicted upon him.

It’s the only thing that makes sense to me, I think.

Nothing is ever going to be the same again.

The church took the bullet that killed him, too.

💔

No you are not alone. He was a great Christian young man and was having a big effect on college campuses. Then the lies about him and the glee celebrating his death have been devastating. God is at work somehow and will bring good fromthis, but it’s hard to feel hopeful finding how just how many on the left are so radical.

The Chinese girl from Oberlin college saying we need to bring back political assassinations like “her teacher” was talking about, and that we shouldn’t have free speech, that free speech is too dangerous, well that was particularly nauseating.

I do hope she gets deported.

Charlie was a remarkable man- and it’s a crying shame that a hate filled maggot took him away from the world. RFK jr’s daughter was packing for overseas trip and packed a bible- when asked why she said “I want to live like Charlie Kirk.”

Charlie has had a huge impact on people- so nope- it’s not just you-

I’m so very sorry for your loss.

My mom and a very long time dear friend both died August 30.

One I expected as she was very sick, the other, he was younger than I, and he had a sudden, shocking heart attack.

On top of the rest of my life traumas, I’m just about broken.

I loved Charlie’s radio show.
Listened in the car always.

His death was just too much.

Hard to explain but I know you understand.

🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
