Arkansas law professor suspended with pay for comments made about Charlie Kirk's death [View all]
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The UA Little Rock Bowen School of Law announced on Tuesday that they have suspended one of its professors with pay after the employee made comments related to the death of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
In a post made online, the Bowen School of Law professor criticized Kirk's ideology, called the late-podcaster "evil," and said that they would not "pull back from celebrating."

"You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It's drivel," Kirk said. "I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe."
In response to the aforementioned quote, the professor said "after all - a few deaths a year due to gun violence is the price we have to pay to have our other right. His. Words."
