@Maga_King_2025 @yogashortsss @SeattlePD He’s proud of himself and bragging about it on a Mariners fan page. Says the preacher swung on him first which of course I find hard to believe and is not on the video. They guys with megaphones are annoying but it’s protected speech 🤷🏻

@yogashortsss @SeattlePD How do you know that's Jacob? Guessing?

Remember the guy who said he would have killed Charlie Kirk himself?
This is the same guy who today assaulted a street Pastor and stole his sign outside the Mariners game.
Hey @SeattlePD here you go. His name is Jacob Nestegard.

@WallStreetApes Gay Christian here - both can exist in the same space (though sometimes uncomfortably). He’s denying folks like me the opportunity to experience an event where we can express our faith surrounded by more folks like us than we’re used to when attending traditional church.

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell blocks permit for a Christian gathering at Pike Place
Pike Place is a public area, at least 20 LGBTQ events have taken place here
Mayor Harrell released a statement saying “They went to, quote, provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city's values in the heart of Seattle's most prominent LGBTQ+ neighborhood”
“The mayor has come out against us, against Christians, and had no single ounce of support for us”
They have filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Seattle. The city not only denied access to a traditional public space, but it accused the group of provoking violence simply by showing up with worship and truth.

I didn't really know anything about Charlie Kirk
Until this week Kirk was a name and face I would occasionally see someone retweet on here and I would scroll past. I'd seen 2 or 3 short videos taken from Tiktok of him debating some low IQ college student but that was it.
I'm generally not interested in MAGA. I broadly believe in many of their goals, but find much of the rhetoric and policy implementation to be self defeating. To me Kirk was another Ben Shapiro or Tim Pool. All MAGA, all the time.
Immediately following his shooting my shock was political and societal. Another step down in what seems to be the never ending descent of American, and thus Western, society. Another sad day for free speech, no matter what you thought of the man's politics.
Then in the following hours my timeline was filled with videos of Kirk as a father, and my heart broke. I saw a man that was clearly devoted to his family and who loved them, and was loved in return, a great deal. I felt that love forever torn apart. I saw a daughter that would never run to her father and wrap her arms around him again.
The following day I saw more videos on here, and out of respect and curiosity I watched them all. Maybe they would make some sense of why someone felt the need to end this man's life and rob his children of a father. They did not.
Contrary to the tweets spreading through X as some kind of justification, what I found was a man who was deeply religious. I man that had a true belief system, and not one that he bent or shaped to fit to modern society. For example. he absolutely believed that homosexuality was a sin because that was what the bible told him, but he did not hate or think less of those people. Many of his close friends such as Peter Thiel and David Rubin were gay.
What I see when I watch the videos of Kirk is a fan of deep faith who put that faith above everything else. I see a man who treated everyone with compassion and civility. I see a man that was friendly and open and honest.
Honestly, I see a man that is braver and better than I. Not because he put himself in danger by wanted to talk to people, but by handing himself completely over to a belief system that I've never been able to get my head around. Like many of us, the idea is alien to me.
I can't say I don't watch his videos with a tinge of jealousy. What I see is a man who was completely happy. A man confident in his faith and who led his life accordingly. A man who not just believed, but acted on his belief.
At a time when so many people seem empty and depressed, it's hard not to be a little jealous of a person that seemed so fulfilled.
With this in mind, it's been incensing to see him slandered on here by people without any of the faith and none of the commitment. To see people take the man's faith and turn it into something twisted and hateful.
I knew nothing of the man in life, but I will try to listen to him more in death.

@CallmeStella80 @patriotUG2023 The entire world didn't even mourn the passing of the Pope. Charlie Kirk's reach was significantly smaller than the leader of the Catholic Church.

@MIForward_Net @officedepot Should have asked right after they said “propaganda” how many orders for “Free Palestine” or “F*** Donald Trump” they’ve fulfilled in the last year, lol

A team member ordered and paid for a poster to be printed at @officedepot so he could bring it to a vigil for Charlie Kirk tonight in Michigan.
When he arrived to pick it up four hours later, the employees said they refused to print it, calling the poster “propaganda.”
