Briefly

Charlie Kirk vigil draws thousands to Boston Common, ends suddenly due to safety concerns, organizer says
"That's exactly why we needed to do it, because you can't speak your mind in Massachusetts without fear of being hurt."
"Charlie was a symbol of everything that a Christian and a godly woman would stand for. It's been completely debilitating. I've been incredibly impacted,"
"Charlie Kick was someone who was willing to listen to those who disagreed with him. He was one of the last few willing to have a conversation, and that was a rare quality that unfortunately costed his life,"
Thousands gathered on the Boston Common for a candlelight vigil to support far-right activist Charlie Kirk after he was shot in Utah. Organizers said more than 3,500 attended while a smaller group of protesters disrupted the event and two people, including a juvenile, were arrested. Candles were distributed and "True Patriot" t-shirts with Kirk's face were sold. Speakers included college Turning Point USA student leaders and representatives from MassGOP, Moms for Liberty, and the Massachusetts Family Institute. No elected officials attended despite invitations, and organizers emphasized support for Kirk and his family.
