Radio And Podcast Host Charlie Kirk Shot At Event.
Salem Radio Network host Charlie Kirk was shot during a campus event at Utah Valley University in Orem, UT, on Wednesday (Sept. 10), according to local reports. Witnesses say Kirk
InsideRadio has an overview of this incident.
Apparently, the video I didn't watch looked deadly. Think inflammatory public figures like this by design get a strong reaction from people, but should really have a lot of security. Think South Park made fun of him a few weeks ago, so he might be in the public eye more. Still, people should just not watch creators they don't like instead of resorting to violence.
The political rhetoric is so high right now I expect more of this to occur. Sad times we are living in.

Live Updates: Charlie Kirk shot dead at Utah college event, Trump says

The Networks have an obit on Charlie Kirk.
Wish people could just turn off the channel for people they don't like.
It's more social media, not TV.
I know nothing about Kirk other than what I hear in passing. I'd never be able to pick him out in a crowd or even know what he stands for.
I have nothing good to say about Kirk, and I'm not mourning his death. Condolences to his loved ones, and I'll leave it there.
Bringing this back to the radio angle, this sucks for Salem. They tabbed him as the successor to Dennis Prager, and now they will have to start from scratch once again.

Salem is a purveyor of hate and inflammatory political rhetoric. Charlie Kirk was a high profile part of both the traditional and social media hate-media ecosystems that fuel the overheated political division in America. He was also a Second Amendment crusader who proclaimed “some gun deaths” are okay to protect Second Amendment rights. Some would say you reap what you sow.
Willing to bet the person that shot him was not an illegal.
This eerily reminds me of the killing of Alan Berg at KOA during the 1980s. Berg, in a mirror image of Kirk, was a rising star of the left on commercial talk radio before being killed by a right-wing extremist. Once a suspect is apprehended, then maybe we will learn more about the motive behind Kirk's murder.
The motive is when you promote hate, don't be surprised if someone acts on it.

Here is the Obit on Charlie Kirk specifically in broadcasting. Its not just for Salem where he had a broadcasting career he also had TV appearances on Fox News.
Kirk did not promote hate; he was a proponent of America's economic and political system and pointed out the uniform and universal failures of socialist systems throughout the world.
Kirk, particularly, focused on young Americans' abilities to influence the nation and the need for independent thinking. One of his major initiatives was to reveal university professors who discriminated against students who had conservative beliefs by giving bad grades, forcing beliefs that the students did not share and public ostracism in classes.
