From 9/11 to 10/11

The Assassination of Charlie Kirk and Its Impact on America

Many people remember September 11, 2001 — a day that changed America forever. Now, September 10, 2025, will also be etched into history.

On that day, a sniper shot and killed Charlie Kirk in Utah. But this was not only an attack on a man — it was an attack on the very foundations of the United States: democracy, freedom of speech, and the core American values that millions cherish.

Former President Donald Trump said in a speech afterward:

“The assassin tried to silence Charlie with a bullet, but he failed. We will ensure that his voice, his message, and his legacy will live on for countless generations.”

Paradoxically, the attempt to silence Kirk has amplified his voice. His message now resonates louder than ever before.

A Pattern of Violence

This is not the first act of political violence against conservative figures.
Donald Trump himself survived an assassination attempt last year. Congressman Steve Scalise was shot. A man armed with a rifle went to Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home. Rand Paul was violently attacked by a neighbor, breaking his ribs.

Even beyond politics, chaos has escalated: riots in Los Angeles, trans shooters killing children, Jewish people shot outside an embassy, and ICE agents receiving death threats so severe that they wear masks to protect their families. Elon Musk’s car was reportedly firebombed.

Social Media’s Dark Celebration

Perhaps most shocking of all were the reactions online. The Daily Mail reported on videos showing left-wing extremists openly celebrating Kirk’s death. Many said he “deserved to be shot.”

For many Americans, this response was deeply disturbing — not just because of the murder itself, but because of the apparent normalization of hate and violence on social media.

Part of a Tragic American Pattern

Kirk’s name now joins a tragic list in American history: Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X — all assassinated for standing up for their beliefs.

The FBI has stated that the ammunition used in the Kirk assassination was engraved with transgender and antifascist slogans. Utah police noted that the state still has the death penalty, and prosecutors are considering its use in this case.

A Turning Point?

Charlie Kirk was the CEO of Turning Point Action, a powerful voice for conservative youth. His death raises a haunting question:

Will this be a turning point for America — or just another chapter in a growing era of political hatred?

One thing is sure: just as 9/11 changed America, 10/11 will be a date the world will remember.
