Hundreds gathered at the Huntington Beach Pier Saturday evening to honor the life of conservative podcast host Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.

Attendees lit candles, waved flags, and shared memories of Kirk, the 31-year-old co-founder of Turning Point USA.

Don’t know, but hopefully it means they surrendered all to Christ!

There was also a vigil there, which I attended, on September 10, a few hours after the assassination, There were lots of American flags and a few Trump flags, but no white flags.

Good news from OC....OC could always be counted on before 2018 when it fell from the Republican column to Hillary after many decades of being the conservative bastion. We moved from there while conservatives were still in control - sad to see what happened...BUT NOW??? Could be “times they are a changing” back to normal??? Get those kids from UCI out to vote - offset their parents votes!

OC is blue/purple from immigration. HB is very red as are a few remaining cities. I don’t see OC going red again. Lived in OC/HB most of my life.

“”OC is blue/purple from immigration””

I understand...We lived in Costa Mesa and Irvine - must say Costa Mesa was “more real” than the plastic city of Irvine..moved from there because of the demographics in the schools - didn’t speak Spanish LOL; it’s where our daughter started school and finished in Irvine...she spent summers surfing at Newport Beach and Huntington Beach! Teenage years riding the bus with surfboards...friends who drove took them to San Clemente also...nothing like surfing in water that glows in the dark. I understand San Onofre is closed now..As crazy as it sounds - I MISS CA!!!!!!

I went to Estancia HS, graduated in ‘82. CM was a lot different back then. Work in Irvine now and have for most of my career. That city is a lot different also. Those 2 cities had a lot to do why OC changed. My kids went to HBHS. I will probably not leave HB.
