This is Dean Withers
He is probably 100% opposed to Charlie Kirk's politics, and he is rightfully upset and showing empathy to Kirk's wife and kids.
Those who want to paint this horror onto everyone on "the left" need to think for a moment and realize that most people don't celebrate murders.
This isn't left vs. right. It's right vs. wrong, and the human decency most of us have vs. the actions of a violent sociopath.
Don't let the murderer win
Violence, no matter the target or justification, is never the answer. The shooting of Charlie Kirk is not only a tragedy for one man—it is a wound to the soul of our nation. It may silence a voice, but it cannot change a heart or heal a nation.
While I strongly disagree with Charlie Kirk on most issues, especially his comments about my father, we all agree that political violence is inexcusable. Disagreements must be addressed through civil conversations and free, fair elections.
We must reject hatred and division and remember the sacred dignity in every person. This moment calls us to a higher way—beyond left and right, beyond anger and suspicion—toward peace, reconciliation, and shared humanity.
We are praying for his full recovery. May this tragedy lead us not into deeper division, but toward the work of healing and unity that our nation so urgently needs.
We agree with Charlie Kirk on basically nothing.
Except that he deserves the right, as every human does, to speak freely without the threat of violence.
We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
@emtrnmd Point is, medics can be annoyed by nurses in their field. Even if you go through all the required cross training. Heck I even got my fire certs. 🤷🏼♀️🙄 still love it tho!
@emtrnmd So I’m an RN BSN that works with the exact same protocols on the bus as medics (I did a lot of inservicing that was similiar to our flight nurses). Anyway, medics be mad if I say I’m a medic (meaning it’s my role on the bus) & they’re thinking I’m snooty if I say I’m an RN. 🙃
