‎A man named Charlie Kirk was shot dead while speaking at an event in a university. Who the heck is he? Never heard of this man despite myself and the circles I frequent online. (Wait, what circles?) He turns out to be "an American right-wing political activist, author, and media personality." The gunman was yet to be identified. The killing sends the message that you could get killed by someone if you hold an opinion different from anyone. 

This murder case sharply divided people, based on the comments, with young people who proudly consider themselves "woke"...not exactly celebrating the death but refusing to lament it like Kirk's fellow conservatives do for the reason that Kirk's views oppose their own take on various matters of great concern.  (Not knowing him at all, I can't tell whether I agree with the things he said that so offended his assailant and ensuing social media critics and haters.) 

Now, Kirk, who is unknown outside the US is now world-famous and an instant Christian martyr.
