@jackunheard I hope they pursue this nasty mouthed asssult on Michelle. I’m a Republican since 18 as a Young Republican and I have no interest in these verbal assaults being initiated by idiots.

@iMessaage_ Bull Shit

Dave Portnoy DEMANDS President Trump publicly denounce UFC fighter Josh Hokit's claims of Michelle Obama being a man.

“I don’t care what you think about the Obamas or anything else — that Michelle Obama insult has to be immediately denounced. These guys are lunatics."

When did the world get so soft?

The Left calls us Nazis, fascists, racists, and every other insult under the sun. They can't take it in return?

This temper tantrum they are throwing is embarrassing lmao.

@MJTruthUltra This was the worst POS at this event. Such an amazing presentation and to have to listen to this maggot was not what this was all about.

@atensnut @Jry123456 @elonmusk Wouldn’t you all be surprised by this! The Nazi Soldiers little rat Soros is the POS funding the agenda to destroy our Constitutional Republic. I just wonder why it has been allowed so long. Don’t we have a way to stop this POS and his little queer offspring?

@ForestMommy The Governor a Has a male for a wife. I would say he is gay and would not object to the Colorado Taxpayer’s paying for advertising of that fact. I don’t care but I think that your love interest and sexual preference does not need to be advertised. The Gayvernor adopted two kids!

[STEELHORSE @wayjones]

@April_Carter_US That’s asking for it!

[STEELHORSE @wayjones]

@GOP_is_Gutless The two actresses that worked their way into being poster girls for all the political H*s.grandstanding in front of a TV camera. Irrelevant for the management if our Constitutional Republic. Political pole dancers.

He was counting down the days to graduation.

Caps and gowns had already been ordered. College plans were taking shape. At home in Colorado, his family was preparing to watch him walk across that stage and begin the life he had worked toward.

His name was Kendrick Castillo.

Born March 14, 2001, and raised in Denver, he was a senior at STEM School Highlands Ranch. He loved robotics. He loved learning. He had the kind of quiet strength that teachers notice and friends rely on. In May 2019, he was just days away from receiving his diploma.

On May 7, 2019, he sat in British literature class. The class was watching The Princess Bride. It was an ordinary afternoon. Laughter. A familiar room. The comfort of routine. The sort of day that passes without leaving a mark.

Then the door opened.

An armed student walked in and told everyone not to move.

For a split second, the world stopped.

Kendrick was close to the gunman. Close enough to understand what was happening. Close enough to know that every second mattered.

He did not duck under a desk.
He did not crawl away.
He did not wait for someone else.

He lunged forward.

In that heartbeat, this young man, barely eighteen, made a decision most adults pray they will never have to make. He charged the shooter, giving his classmates a chance to run. Others followed his lead and tackled the gunman. Because of those seconds, many students were able to escape.

Kendrick was shot.

His classmates tried to save him. They pressed on the wound. They called his name. They pleaded with him to stay. But he did not survive.

One student later said Kendrick died a legend. Another said he would carry his memory for the rest of his life.

His father, John Castillo, spoke with a strength that no parent should ever need. He said his son cared deeply about others and always wanted to protect people. He admitted he wished his son had hidden, wished he had run. But that was not who Kendrick was.

That line stays with you.

That was not who he was.

In a world where we often hear about fear and cruelty, this teenager showed something older and stronger. Instinctive courage. Selflessness without calculation. The kind of character many of us were taught to admire when we were young.

He was eighteen years old.

For those of us who have watched our own children grow, who have sat at graduation ceremonies, who have felt that mix of pride and hope, this story hits deep. It is every parent’s worst nightmare. It is also a reminder of what one life can mean in a single moment.

Because Kendrick stood up, others went home to their families that night.

He never got to wear his cap and gown. But he left behind something far greater than a diploma. He left behind an example.

Kendrick Castillo
2001 to 2019

He did not run.
He did not hide.
He chose others.

May we remember him.
