The assassination of activist and media personality Charlie Kirk was a tragic and sobering reminder that free speech is still very much under attack. However, according to legendary comedian and former host of The Tonight Show, Jay Leno, Kirk's assassination signaled the death of free speech.

I cannot post my Israeli flag with my American flag on my house near Portland, Oregon.
Antifa would firebomb my house, and try to murder me.
For absolute sure.
He's 100% right. This is the end result of the sick "words are violence" crap that the Left pushes.
Yup!
Jay Leno is an idiot.
It is not the death of free speech, but it is certainly a significant setback. Let us hope that Christians will be inspired to stand firm in their faith despite the persecution and danger.
We are part of what the Bible refers to as “The Restrainer,” a divine force of good that opposes the evil threatening to overtake our nation and the world. The restrainer movement is the only thing standing bwtween a civil livable world and outright anarchy and evil. The only reason evil is kept at bay is because good people ARE willing to fight agaisnt it.
Charlie exemplified unwavering faith, facing the risk to his life without hesitation. His courage and sacrifice should serve as an inspiration to us all. We have been entrusted with a tremendous gift in salvation, and it is our duty to uphold and share that truth with courage and conviction.
1 Peter 1:3-9
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.”
‘He’s 100% right. This is the end result of the sick “words are violence” crap that the Left pushes.’
Agreed.
Don’t even SPEAK it.
I’ve been wanting to do the same thing at my home in Scottsdale, AZ.
Huge Jewish community here but still nervous about doing it.
Yea that is a bad idea in Portland.
Stay safe my friend!
I get why Jay Leno would think Free Speech is under heavy attack right now, but to call it “The Death of Free Speech”:sounds fatalist and the remark of one who thinks battle is now forever lost. It’s an obstruction, but not a permanent high wall.
It’s not the death of free speech. Free speech doesn’t depend upon one person. Freedom depends upon everyone.
They say, “Words are violence,” from one side of their mouth while saying, “Silence is violence.”
Captain Spock would call this a, “No win scenario.”
If Antifa is treated as a terrorist organization and ruthlessly crushed we can have free speech again.
If Jay’s an idiot, then do you believe either (1) Leno is *advocating* against free speech, or (2) do you disagree with Leno using “death of” to exaggerate for effect when decrying the chilling effect fear and oppression has on speech.
Which is it?
SHOUT for the LORD has given you the City!
Tim Pool cancelled his speaking engagements. I hear many others are doing the same.
Quite the opposite Jay.
It’s only the death of free speech if we let it be.
