A candlelit vigil and mass haka took place in Auckland to honor the memory of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist from the United States. Organized by Brian Tamaki, the leader of Destiny Church, the event attracted approximately 500 attendees dressed in black and white. The gathering commenced at 7 p.m. on October 7, 2023, at Aotea Square in the heart of Auckland’s Central Business District.

Participants laid candles and crosses in a poignant tribute to Kirk, who has made significant waves in political discourse. One of the speakers at the vigil proclaimed that Kirk’s influence would extend further than that of the legendary civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Jr.. The emotional atmosphere was palpable as attendees reflected on Kirk’s legacy and the impact he had on many.

Brian Tamaki’s address was highly anticipated, as he has been a vocal supporter of Kirk’s conservative values. The vigil not only served as a remembrance for Kirk but also as a rallying point for those who share his beliefs. Tamaki’s leadership in organizing such an event underscores the intersection of faith and politics that characterizes his ministry.

The vigil was marked by a series of moving speeches, with attendees encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences related to Kirk’s activism. The mass haka, a traditional Māori dance, was performed as a demonstration of solidarity and respect for Kirk’s contributions.

As the evening progressed, the gathering transformed into a powerful expression of community and shared values. The event highlighted the enduring impact of political figures and the ways in which their legacies can inspire action and unity among supporters.

Through this vigil, participants not only honored Charlie Kirk’s memory but also reaffirmed their commitment to the principles he championed. The event concluded with an invitation for attendees to continue advocating for the causes that Kirk passionately represented throughout his life.

The investigation to find who really killed Charlie Kirk should involve every American.

The shortsightedness of Kirk haters is self destructive.

You have a right to duck and hide from serious inquiry.

But I don’t think it makes sense.

Well, it’s down under and close to the International Dateline so ... maybe the Maori calendar is just under two years earlier than ours.

That’s all I got!

First time I have seen video of a haka that did not repulse me with the grotesque tongue movements. Thanks.

RIP, Charlie Kirk.

,,, thanks for the ping. Tamaki is a controversial character in the political landscape here. He calls himself a bishop, owns jet skis, has lavish holidays offshore with his wife and they generally display a disconnect with the humility many may expect from a church leader. They wear designer clothes and jewels etc., but as much as there's no G650 yet, they have turned a lot of peoples' lives around for the better with their professed family and societal values.

The other end of the spectrum is the minority Maori Party, that's a far left/UN indigenous favored composite of NZ's Parliament. Tamaki gets a boot in the ribs every time from NZ's media and the Maori Party gets very little comment beyond their growing grievance industry. The Maori Party reserves hakas/street theatre for Parliamentary sessions to display race based tantrums for the world media to see.

For all the hype, Tamaki and his crowd are very much on the correct side backing Charlie Kirk and his superb values.

“The investigation to find who really killed Charlie Kirk should involve every American.”

What’s your proof that Robinson wasn’t the killer? Another DU troll is what you are, or maybe another fruit trying to protect Robinson.

A “DU troll” wouldn’t be interested in finding the real assassin.

Robinson should get what’s coming to him. If he shot Charlie, he should get the death penalty. If he didn’t shoot Charlie, then he’s obstructing justice by not telling the truth.

Weird how you don’t want to question the official narrative.

If you’re not a DU troll, you sure spend a lot of time starting flame wars on multiple threads.

What’s wrong with the narrative that a crazed trans-loving leftist shot Charlie kirk and probably told other crazed trans-loving leftists he was going to do it? I’m thinking YOU might be a trans-loving crazed leftist coming here to disrupt this forum.

“you sure spend a lot of time starting flame wars on multiple threads.”

No, I simply state my honest opinion.

To you, who work for the deep state whether you know it or not, the statement of honest opinion is against your agenda.

How do you justify your support of censorship?

You’re not listening. If you don’t listen, how can you participate?

Anyone involved in Charlie Kirk’s assassination should be prosecuted under the law and given the death penalty. This includes all involved deep state players.

The “trans” horror is a result of severe behavioral manipulation by the cabal. It’s the most disgusting and horrible thing I’ve ever seen. This is a separate conversation from finding out everyone involved in Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

The trans thing is the official narrative. You say the official narrative is wrong. I asked you to explain what is wrong with that. You make the claims and don’t back them up.

“the official narrative”

Have you not yet learned that the official narrative is often wrong?

Why would you advocate for the acceptance of something that’s probably wrong?

My only claim is that we should make sure we know who killed Charlie. This claim is self-evident.

When something is self-evident, it doesn’t need to be backed up.
