If his security team had been at Kirk’s event, Rhodes said, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA would still be alive.

Dude is delusional. Would you have stopped the speeding bullet?, or somehow known someone was on the rooftops? Or would you have been down there flexing on unarmed college students?

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.

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.
