I mean, this is almost as bad as the Yankees having a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk before their game last night. At least those Damn Yankees proceeded to get trounced by a team from Detroit.
Thank you. We can all speak out against gun violence (and maybe ask our elected officials to pass gun control reform) and also recognize that Kirk was not trying to build consensus or seek understanding with his events. I believe in free speech, but I also think that we have obligations as citizens to be exercise our rights responsibly. He did not do that and it's inappropriate of the mayor to use official city platforms to whitewash that legacy.
Our president has ordered the flags to be flown at half mass on this sacred day for the death of Charlie Kirk, not in remembrance of 9/11. While I don't agree with ordering the flags flown at half mass to honor Kirk, it seems especially inappropriate to do so on this date.
I have colleagues who were on his hit list of university professors. A list that resulted in vile emails, doxing and threats. So, if Kirk wasn't responsible, he attracted enough extremists with his speech that it is hard to call him a free speech advocate. A hit list of professors with whom he disagreed.

Murder is murder, unacceptable and not the answer, but nor is canonizing the victim.
Today is 9/11 let us remember those we lost 24 years ago.

I agree entirely. And when people show you who they are, believe them.

I’m more of a Stephanie Oddo backer.
