Viewers watching Charlie Kirk’s memorial have all spotted the same disturbing detail on stage.
The political commentator died earlier this month (September 10) after he was shot in the neck and killed while on stage at Utah Valley University (UVU).
Kirk was addressing a 3,000-strong crowd as part of his ‘American Comeback’ tour at various university campuses across the US when he was killed by the gunshot.
An FBI manhunt ensued and 22 year old Tyler Robinson was later arrested under suspicion of murder.
He made his first court appearance on Tuesday (September 16) via video link from Utah County Jail where he is currently being held, which is where he heard that prosecutors would be seeking the death penalty.
He has also been responding to other users’ posts, with one person writing: “If I am being perfectly honest… I think I am beginning to lose the will to be tolerant.”
To which Musk replied with: “If tolerance means the end of Western Civilization, then we cannot be tolerant.”
He then went on to write: “If they won’t leave us in peace, then our choice is fight or die.”
Authorities are still searching for the shooter, who is believed to have been positioned on top of a nearby building.
Police have described the incident as an assassination but the Department of Public Safety have confirmed that the shooting is ‘still an active investigation’.
