What's your level of concern for what will happen in the next few days-a week on college campuses?

I would say I'm at a 7.25 out of 10 concerned about reprisal violence aimed at college campuses.

Also, tomorrow is September 11.

I've resigned to the very real possibility that I will be shot before I retire.

I can't live in fear, I refuse to live in fear.

It was targeting Kirk. Of course, we still have to worry about mass shootings as always but this particular event, I dont think fits in that category.

Obviously this attack was targeting Kirk. I'm talking about people doing reprisal violence against colleges, especially professors. Turning Point USA was an organization that was devoted to "exposing" the professorate.
