Exclusive — Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet: ‘People Around the World Are Going to Hear the Gospel of Jesus’ During Charlie Kirk’s Memorial
PHOENIX, ARIZONA - SEPTEMBER 19: Dr. T Tran places a poster up in the makeshift memorial f

Supposedly 300,000 people attended the memorial. 100 k were in the stadium, around 30 K in the hockey arena next door and the rest camped out in the parking lots around the stadium watching the service. There is no helicopter or drone covereage (it was a no fly zone) but the crowds captured on camera were massive.

Uber was apparently charging 800 bux for a ride to the stadium. Surge pricing I guess.

Nevertheless, it was impressive.

We are entering very STRANGE times.

Is it just me, or did anyone else here have at least a minor problem with Trump's order to lower flags to half staff over the Kirk murder?

Kirk seemed to be a fairly solid conservative Christian, even though I couldn't have been more opposed to his pro-Russia stance on Ukraine, but he was *NOT* of service to the US in any sort of official capacity. Had he been a government official, member of the military, etc., I could see it, but he was not.

Charlie's passing WAS a large turning point for CONUS. Kinda like 911 without the wreckage.

I don't disagree, but I still think flags at half staff are wrong for a total civilian.

MAYBE if he was a military veteran and hugely popular the way he was, but.......

Pro-Russia stance? Kirk was absolutely correct and spoke to truth on this. Too bad that truth hurts so much.

"Truth" you say?

I agree. I thought it was odd, but then if we can rename streets for thugs like George Floyd, it is just a small amount of weird.

Pretty sure flags flew half-mast when Billy Graham died.

Yeah, lots of wrong things in our society that need to banished to the outer darkness.

Also wrong, in my opinion.
