I dont know anything about charlie kirk. but why would there be security...? like... isnt he just like any other semi pop internet influencer?
if you need security maybe thats a sign that you arent a good person, lol.
Dude had like a dozen people providing security, including several cops. As usual the cops failed to protect anyone.
They're not legally obligated to protect anyone. "Most recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit upheld a lower court ruling that police could not be held liable for failing to protect students in the 2018 shooting that claimed 17 lives at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida."
It's not uncommon for millionaires especially speakers that say derisive things.
Why his security allowed it to be in a quad rather than an auditorium is beyond me but seems fairly dumb when dude was saying he thought people were after him.
