Now you know why they wanted him dead.
And others had better triple their security.

... Charlie, among his other attributes, was a man of fearlessness. And that kind of courage is contagious and will live beyond him as one of the many aspects of his legacy. But there’s another sense in which I think he’s just irreplaceable.
He is probably, I would say without question, the best youth political organizer in America’s history. And I think people who don’t understand sort of the history of how all this developed may not understand the magnitude of what he accomplished. That’s just one of the things. But to create what he created, have these political events with young people engaged, which are more than political events, like with Trump’s rallies, these were rock concerts, and he was a rock star. And that’s something that so many people desperately wanted to achieve for so long and couldn’t do it.
It took someone of unique character, unique capabilities, like Charlie. And there are just a handful of people in the world who are not replaceable, and he was one of them.
