When George Floyd died, BLM organized riots nationwide that killed 25-40 people, injured 900 cops & caused $2 billion in damages
When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, people organized prayer vigils & millions of dollars were raised for his wife & 2 children
We are not the same
You can kill a man.
For we are all mortal.
But you can never kill his Love of his Savior Jesus Christ, his love of our great Nation, the United States of America, and his love of Freedom, Truth and his undying love, confidence and belief in the young people of America.
And you can never kill his message.
America is, and always will be,
the beacon of Freedom the world over.
Charlie Kirk was our modern day Founding Father. And he helped save our country from slipping further into Godlessness, censorship, cultural falsehoods, loss of common sense, common decency and authoritarian communism.
Above all, Charlie Kirk was noble. He was a decent God fearing man. And he ultimately gave his life for the people and the country that he loved so dearly.
All of us who truly love our country will continue to serve, honor and protect the Freedoms that were earned through blood so that we American citizens and our children may always live and breath in a Free society.
Today,
Let us all pledge our allegiance again as I know Charlie would want, to this great land and continue his love of God, Family and Country.
I pledge allegiance to the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All.
May Jesus Christ hold Charlie Kirk in his arms tonight and comfort his loved ones left behind. I pray for peace at this time for all Americans and for all
of God’s children everywhere.
God Bless you all.
Love,
Rob Schneider
