Following Kirk’s assassination, several individuals — many teachers and professors — are facing backlash after taking to social media to celebrate his death. Several people have been fired for saying they have “ZERO sympathy” for Kirk and suggesting he deserved to die.

Millions of people across the world have gathered for vigils mourning the loss of the conservative commentator and free speech advocate. Kirk was known for traveling to college campuses and engaging in debates with college students over hot-button issues, such as gender ideology, abortion and race.

Utah authorities have now charged Kirk’s alleged murderer with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child. The 22-year-old suspect risks facing the death penalty if convicted.
