When I woke up this morning, I remembered that it was September 11. I thought about the assassination of Charlie Kirk yesterday in light of this anniversary. As awful as that day in 2001 was, it showed the character of the people in our nation. I remember the shared consciousness that we were all grieving together. We were more aware of the others around us. The emotional shock and horror grounded us as Americans and a community. We had our differences, but we all had a common reference point.
Charlie Kirk wanted to promote civil discourse to young people, especially college students. Isn’t that was higher education is supposed to be about? Challenge your previous assumptions and see what shakes out. If you’ve never watched an uncut Q&A with Kirk, you should. I’m sorry to see that there’s a segment of the population who is cheering his death. I have no idea how many of them. He just wanted people to talk to each other and reach an understanding. That’s not evil or fascist or hateful. Some of our country are grieving his loss while others are openly praising it.
To sum things up, I’m disturbed this morning. The country is split, that much has been obvious for a while now. Charlie’s murder is one more thing that demonstrates how divided it is. This stick has landed heavily on the camel.
