Advertisement   “I know everyone is trying to get a hit tweet but transforming a day dedicated to something so important as suicide prevention into something about him is egregious.” “If you’re celebrating ‘Kirkaversary’ then you are part of the problem,” another chimed in. “I don’t give two sh**s what side you’re on, if you celebrate a man’s death just because you disagree with him, then you need mental help. Because making fun of someone’s death is not ok at all, it’s just evil.” Turning Point USA is marking one year since its founder’s death by returning to the Utah Valley University campus “to remember Charlie Kirk, honor his extraordinary life, and reflect on the lasting legacy that he left behind.” In New York City, a $100,000 statue of Kirk is expected to be unveiled in (https://www.the-sun.com/news/16933438/banking-exec-stabbed-death-times-square-rampage/) Times Square on Thursday.
