The assassination of conservative hero and Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk has shaken American society to the core.
In his solemn address to the nation, president Donald J. Trump said the following about the ‘legendary’ Kirk.
“Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much—the United States of America. He fought for liberty, democracy, justice, and the American people. He’s a martyr for truth and freedom, and there has never been anyone who was so respected by youth.
Charlie was also a man of deep, deep faith. And we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now at peace with God in heaven. Our prayers are with his wife, Erika, the two young, beloved children, and his entire family—who he loved more than anything in the world. We ask God to watch over them in this terrible hour of heartache and pain.”
But abroad the Atlantic Ocean, many liberty-loving people also were shocked and saddened. And popular vigils and gatherings have taken place all over Europe.

“Good afternoon, everyone. Yesterday, the usual. Those who murdered Fernando Villavicencio, those who killed Miguel Uribe, those who killed Chin Suave, those who stabbed Bolsonaro, those who shot Trump, ended up with the life of a good man, Charlie Kirk.
A man who only had the word. He went to the campuses of the United States, to the universities […], only with the word, and he encouraged them to debate. He always said that if we do not have the word, the day we stop debating, the day we stop talking, we have nothing and bad things happen.
[…] A reference that left us several lessons. The first lesson, the most important, he told young people, learn something new, every day. He also told them, commit to a good cause, be good people, and carry that cause to the end, no matter what happens to you, and the price you have to pay.”
“A small gesture’.
