It's NOT OKAY for Charlie Kirk's Murder to Bring ANYONE Joy | Kristan Hawkins
Moments before I left the University of Montana, after hearing Charlie had been shot, a student told me: “It’s understandable that people can gain joy from this because of the type of person he is, and the type of things he says.”
How could someone find joy in his murder?I’ve been thinking about this for a day now and want to share some thoughts.
This generation is lost. They are the first in our nation to not even know the Gospel story. They don’t know who made them or why. They’ve lived their entire lives thinking they were disposable and could’ve been killed when they were at their most vulnerable, in the womb.
Yet, everyone has a god. So, many of them have chosen politics as their god.The first President they remember is Barack Obama, the master of Saul Alinsky tactics, who believes that producing change means pitting the “haves” vs the “have-nots.” They don’t remember the days when Ds and Rs would spar in Congress but call each other friends.They just know the other side is their enemy, and the media and leaders they look up to as their religious leaders say the same thing. So, when the enemy of their god was assassinated…they were happy.
They didn’t care that Charlie Kirk was a decent, moral father, husband, and friend. They didn’t care about what he really said or his joyfulness and willingness to always talk with those with whom he disagreed. They thought this would make their god happy…so they were happy.
We have to teach this generation why they matter and why all human Life matters. They need to learn that disagreement doesn’t merit a death sentence. We have to do better, or we will lose our nation forever.
