Kurt Schlichter: Day 3: They Murdered Charlie Kirk and They Must Pay
2025-09-12
Just the last few paragraphs verbatim.
[TOWNHALL] Between this savagery and the savagery on that North Carolina bus line, the Overton Window has been thrown wide open, and it's time to defenestrate the left. No, not with unfocused retaliation but with the full force of the law. And we have the people in position to do it. If this had happened under President Eggplant— hell, I don't even have to use that as a hypothetical. What do we know about the Butler shooter? Not a damn thing. However, we now have President Trump in the White House. We now have Kash Patel and Dan Bongino at the FBI, and Pam Bondi and Harmeet Dhillon at the Justice Department. This is when they earn their pay. This is when being in charge means something because now we have not just the opportunity but the duty to dig deep into the web of leftist subversion that's been undermining our society, our culture, and our country.

Individually, what do we do? Well, we don't shut up. We don't submit. We don't cower in silence because we're afraid some freak will try to hurt us if we dare stand up and speak out like citizens. That's where being armed comes in. It's not about being macho. It's about being free, free from intimidation, free from threats, free from domination by the same bastards who are on BlueSky chuckling over the murder of Charlie Kirk.

As Americans, we will rally and move forward to protect our country. But, at the same time, there's a family out there that's devastated. Charlie had a beautiful wife and two lovely little kids. Those lovely little kids are never going to see their daddy again because somebody shot him to death for daring to speak words that offended the killer. Those kids are going to spend the rest of their lives without a father. But, at least, they can know that their father was no coward. He went, unarmed and unarmored, in front of a couple of thousand people who hated him. He undoubtedly had death threats. He knew what the left is capable of because he talked about it. And yet he walked out there and did his duty as an American, to speak freely about what he believed. The man was a hero, and we can only hope that that knowledge will give his orphaned children some iota of solace.

This is a gut punch. This is real. It's not social media imagery. It's not a meme. It's a bullet, striking bone, spurting blood, and killing a precious human being. We are not only justified in being angry; we are also obligated to be angry. But we must be righteously angry. I want retribution, but righteous retribution. We're not going to frame anybody. We're not going to trash our Constitution. We're not going to besmirch what Charlie Kirk stood for, even as we try to validate it.

But neither are we going to be passive. Neither are we going to have fake empathy. We want justice, and justice must be swift, fair, and harsh. Charlie Kirk, American. R.I.P.
