The anger came as the Lake County Commission considered a proposal, which ultimately got unanimous approval, to rename a stretch of road as the Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway.
The majority of public commenters at the Tuesday meeting opposed the plan, including resident Gavin Brown, who argued the county should name roads after local figures who had served the community like veterans or law enforcement, such as Bradley Link, a sheriff’s deputy who was killed last year.
“Wouldn’t it be more suitable and ideal to have a memorial to honor someone who fought to serve and protect us, have a true Lake County resident who was a brave American hero?” Brown said.
What in the actual fuck is wrong with people. Kirk was literally nobody.
They’re doing the Wessel to Kirk - using a relatively unknown person’s death as a unifying figure of propaganda and white-washing.
The Carotid-Wessel.
Americans have always been into their cult of personality. You see it every time with their presidents, they’re rabidly pro their guy.
Yeah, but at least people (generally) know who a President is. This guy was just a random wingnut influencer. Seriously, how many people even know who the fuck he was before he was shot?
I didn’t.
You’d be surprised; he was a big influence on the younger MAGAts and pulled a lot of dumb kids to their cause.
I suspect the big tour he was doing was part of a project to groom him to take Trump’s place as the leader of the MAGA cult once the orange menace kicked the bucket.
He had about the same kind of charisma and the skill to make himself sound smart and successful to dumb people.
I mean, quite a few online people know who Catturd is, too. I’d be asking the same question if someone were to murder him as well - do we really need to Ronnie Raygun either Catturd or Charlie Kirk?
This road will now become a public bathroom.
USA is not a country anymore, it’s become an insane asylum.
At least in an asylum you can follow the rules and get out to live somewhere else.
Charlie Kirk does not need streets named after him.
I’m reminded of how residential areas often have streets with themes. Like all of the streets are named after birds or after fables or something.
“Just turn right on Joseph Goebbels Lane, then take a right on Rush Limbaugh Blvd, then take a right on Bill O’Reilly Ave, and finally take a right on Charlie Kirk Cir. Yup, that’s right. My house is right in the center of the swastika.”
Fuck your feelings
We all need to cross out Charlie on all the signs and write in James T.
James T Kirk is fictional and still deserves infinitely more statues than Charlie
Remember what his and others of similar ilk’s hateful followers do to a simple rainbow crosswalk.
There’s a whole road for
antifaprofree to work with.What the fuck is wrong with people?
A handful of assholes got into power with the help of a shitload of idiots, and an incredible number of them live in Florida
That’s exactly how representative democracy works: people might be against but decision is made by “elected officials” who couldn’t care less about some “common folk” opinion.
