I am just realizing how many fellow citizens have acted atrociously in celebrating the murder of an innocent man. We cannot accept that kind of behavior. It must be confronted, as you point out in your three action steps.

And call them out, petition for their firing, shame and shun them.

The words Turning Point now have a greater meaning. No retreat. Today we also see a turning point happening in the UK, where the native citizens are confronting their tyrannical government and demanding an end to the invasion of foreign murderers who hate them.

Amen brother. Thank you for using this platform to help keep fellow patriots aware. I will be organizing an event security event for my county’s YR meeting this month to discuss the critical importance of physical security and opsec both at events, while campaigning, and online.

Always carry and I recommend wearing a vest if you own one. Always choose safety over convenience.

I am not an attorney. But do make sure to check your state’s laws about one party consent or two party consent. Record any and all interactions with any possibility of becoming confrontational.

Always know who is coming to your events. It is normal and healthy for people of different backgrounds and views to meet and talk to elected officials - that is how our republic is supposed to be. But don’t leave an open door without being prepared.

Thank you Captain K and thank you Rachel. Stay safe and may God bless and watch over you and all of us.

Moral courage is the rarest species of bravery. Moreover than the courage of soldiers or those of great intelligence. In fact, moral courage is the one vital quality we need to salvage the world. - JFK paraphrased by RFK Jr. (2020, Plague of Corruption)

Appreciate the suggested action. Many of us feel so damn helpless in the past few days. Channeling our collective energy makes us unstoppable. The left declared war on us years ago. We just weren’t listening.

Hmm I don’t think so but let me double check…

If you are a quiet person but you want to make a difference, get a "Jesus is Lord" or similar t-shirt. I wear one frequently; it encourages people of faith and puts the people who choose evil on notice that you won't be quiet and accept misbehavior. Surprisingly, I have only received positive comments – no matter where I am.

David, I actively scan people’s clothing and jewelry (cross) as a connection point to reach out to other believers. I feel like we need to know that there are more of “us” “out there” than we sometimes are aware of. Being an older woman, I am obviously not a threat. But like you, I have always received positive responses when I reach out with a word of faith.

Thank you, Capt K, for these words of reality that are hard to understand for a gal who lives in Central Texas. How sad to think people actually neither value life nor share the love that God offers so freely to everyone! I continue to pray and ask others to join me as we ask Our God in Heaven to heal our land and its people. IIChronicles 7:14

Amen, Captain K. I have one commemt about the timing of Charlie's murderer, the person was asking Charlie about mass killing and the assassin pulled the trigger. I am willing to bet these two people are in it together. Hopefully, the law enforcement will look into it.

I’m shocked that after what happened to President Trump in Butler, PA, there wasn’t better security at this event. Who was responsible for making sure the rooftops were secure?

On being observant and thinking like the enemy, as soon as I saw the first video of the setup, I said to myself, "they put him in a kill box". That was one of the worst-ever locations to place anyone who could be at any risk. They set up a bowling-alley-like direct view to the roof, on terrain that fell way from the high point. I understand that they probably were thinking "this is the lay of the terrain", and truly it was landscaped for presentation purposes. But man, what a terrible misunderstanding of terrain and the evil that men are capable of. I only write this to say, Capt. K is correct. Be ever vigilant and aware of your surroundings.

Great advice! If we give in to this, it’s all over!

I’m so glad you are starting the conversation on this. My girlfriends and I have an inside “joke” that is really what I call my personal “rule”. When we meet for dinner I always have to sit at the table where I can see the room… never my back to the door. I scan the patrons and I’m always aware of all door locations. Be aware always ❤️

Don't know if this has already happened - might be a good time to have the discussion with your girlfriends why it matters. You should always make sure whoever has the overwatch seat knows what their job is - kinda like the exit row on a plane.

I'm a bit shocked how easily this happened over a year after Butler, PA. People there pointed out the rooftop shooter well ahead of time and were ignored. How did a close by shooter go unnoticed?

Can you imagine if pro life people went around murdering abortion doctors? The left would be foaming at the mouth.
