I Should Have Stayed Off TikTok: The Alarming Response to Charlie Kirk’s Death

twitchy.com

I have spent the last 2 days on Twitter mostly. Because I write for Twitchy, there have been multiple stories to write. Breaking news, bad takes and general reaction to the death of Charlie Kirk have kept us plenty busy. Today, I went on TikTok to get the feel for what was going on over there. That was a mistake. The kids are not ok. 

First there were several videos like this. It almost seems like there were several people who knew Kirk was walking into his death sentence yesterday when he went on campus. 

Then, there was the scum ball singing a song celebrating his death.

As a Mom of young people, my emotions are mixed. On one hand, I see my son, my daughter and their friends grieving the death of Kirk. They are so very sad. On the other, I see all of these awful people on TikTok and they seem to have zero humanity. That's terrifying. 

Kirk did so much to bring young people back into the fold and to encourage young conservatives, but there is also so much hate directed at him.

I'll likely stay off for the next few days. It's too disturbing to see people behave like animals. Pray for America. Pray for hearts to be softened. Our country needs it.
