PHOENIX — Vandals have defaced the statue honoring Charlie Kirk.

Red paint was sprayed across parts of the statue standing outside Turning Point headquarters in Phoenix.

The piece of art was unveiled a year after the activist was assassinated while he was talking to college students in Utah.

No information on when the statue was vandalized or who the possible suspects are.

Not surprised. I thought they would’ve done more damage then spray paint. Sadly, give it time. The evil among us never sleep.

[Leaning Right]

Right. This is going to happen over and over again.

The Left claims to be fighting fascism and hate. But they are behaving EXACTLY like fascists and haters.

I would be really great if the mainstream media would call them out on that. But that would take honest reporting, something the media no longer does.

[TangoLimaSierra]

I thought when they unveiled it that there would be at least several cameras watching it.
With 24 hour monitoring.
Maybe they did and already know who did it.

[ClearCase_guy]

The Left does this stuff and they see their actions as “free speech”.

Try this stuff on a Martin Luther King memorial, and it’s not “free speech”, it’s “racism and hate speech”.

[Flaming Conservative]

Hopefully, they have security cameras.

Trans-Nazis.

[I want the USA back]

I’m betting there will be no hate crime charges. But defacing a ‘pride’ ‘mural’ is considered a hate crime.

[sten]

This was absolutely expected.

The left are cretins who have no place in this society.

[Salman]

Charlie Kirk was wrong in supposing the left can be engaged with rational debate, and it cost him his life.

[bray]

Communists are responsible for 200 million murders in the last 100 years to purge wrong think.

[cross_bearer_02]

Or armed guards with 24/7 rotation.

[cross_bearer_02]

It’s past time for our side to do exactly that. They desecrate our memorials and honoraria. So they should expect the same to happen to theirs.

He did reach a lot of people

BUT yeah, underestimating the Godless Left
can be very hazardous

[Honorary Serb]

This happens even in the heart of Arizona!

Not good!

[Ann Archy]

PURE EVIL.

[bigbob]

Things like this need to be monitored and protected

[No name given]

That’s the truth.

General Augusto Pinochet had the right idea for dealing with commies.
