I'm not saying Charlie Kirk deserved to be shot, nor do I believe in an eye for an eye mentality, but retaliation for the discriminatory and anti-American actions of the Trump Administration and their allies was eventual.

It's quite poetic that an older White man shot him with a rifle during a college event. I don't condone political violence, but it was Charlie Kirk who celebrated George Floyd's death and used it as another stepping stool to spread his extremist views.

Of course only now the Republican party cares about the assassination of political members of our community, only two months after the assassination of Melissa Hortman and her husband.

Charlie Kirk was/is nothing but a racist, homophobic, antisemetic, islamophobic, waste of oxygen that promoted nothing but further violence in our nation through the spread of extreme conspiracy theories.

I've seen my fellow black Americans shot unlawfully all the time, so I have little empathy for this single white man who eagerly promoted selective violence in our country

I have nothing to add. Pure evil.

as a high school student who lives on the outskirts of minneapolis here's what my past few days have been like

- found out about renée good during my free period as soon as i opened instagram a couple hours after it happened

- saw that a vigil was being held for her and called a friend to take me

- called another friend who lives nearby to make sure they and their family are safe

- went to the vigil, so many people showed up that i genuinely don't even know how big the crowd was, i walked for a while and i couldn't see the end of it. there are plenty of photos of it from the helicopters and drones that were circling us the entire time though

- saw on instagram the morning after that a fucking pig stomped on a candle at her memorial

- got sent a video of several ice vehicles swarming an area right down the street from me in the middle of my school day, just after my friends and i got out of that area on our lunch break

- begged the school admin to do an announcement to warn students of the local presence, and as i was leaving the office multiple other people were talking to secretaries about the exact same area being swarmed

- got called into work at my job that schedules me maybe three times a month lately because i sent a text to the group chat which resulted in 3+ coworkers calling out and hiding at home

- got called in again today for the same reason

- my (white) coworker and her wife were stalked by ice last night and only got away with a police escort

- ice was circling my work and other businesses/residences nearby today, but disappeared once the local police started patrolling the area

i am so entirely livid with this shit. they know minneapolis isn't the place to fuck with after what that scumbag did to george floyd. they're scared of us and they better fucking be. these terrorists need to get the fuck out of my city.
