"We can agree to disagree. We can debate. But violence is never the answer,"
"But it does not say that you shall take a life because you disagree with them."
"This is the United States of America, for God's sake,"
"They have to. They must stop vilifying people they disagree with. Just because we disagree with each other does not make us nazis or white supremacists. And the media, shame on them, they know this. And they still pushed their very dangerous narratives that lead to something like what happened to Charlie"
New Yorkers from across the political spectrum gathered at a Brooklyn vigil outside the Barclays Center to condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Speakers emphasized that Kirk, though polarizing, did not deserve to die for expressing his views and that civil disagreement must replace violence. Religious leaders and elected officials voiced that human dignity and debate should be preserved. Some attendees blamed media narratives for contributing to political vilification. Video of the shooting at a Utah university circulated widely on social media, prompting dozens of vigils nationwide.
