This is absolutely disturbing, even for a red area.

Did or does anybody else on DU live in a part of the country with a similar rally planned or held "in memory" of hate merchant Charlie Kirk?

Several hundred motorcycles, cars, tow trucks and other vehicles assembled at the North Medford Walmart parking lot Saturday to launch a memorial ride honoring Charlie Kirk, the slain CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA. The memorial ride was one of a handful of events announced within days of the shooting Sept. 10 that occurred at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. A suspect, 22-year-old Tyler James Robinson of Washington, Utah, is in custody.

Other local events were planned on Sunday.

The only things missing are hoods, robes, and cross burnings.

Absolutely disgraceful. I am glad I am avoiding the Sunday festivities because I am going on an organized hike in East Applegate.

1. What's next, boat parades?

Will the Air Force fly the Missing Man formation over his funeral? That wouldn't surprise me for a minute.

2. Tow trucks for the kook-boy! Too funny. They can tow each other around

3. What is really bad is there are a number of people I work with in the local schools

who are rabid right-wingers, typically from the "evangelical" point of view. How do they do it when they work with children from diverse backgrounds when they are raging bigots? These people are unfit to be around kids.

These people are far gone. They live in a completely different universe, one not based in reality at all.

6. The ignorant are too ignorant to know they are ignorant.

7. It is terrifying.

How could anybody who spewed such vile ideas ever be worshipped and honored? There isn't a dime's worth of difference between him and the Aryan Nations. He spewed garbage right out of Doug Wilson and his ilk. No difference.
