During the preliminary hearing for Charlie Kirk’s assassination, etched bullets with messages like ‘Hey Fascist’ were key evidence. Legal expert Joshua Ritter examined the intent behind these etchings, contemplating whether they were meant as a joke or a serious threat. Lance Twiggs testified about Tyler Robinson’s request for a Dremel tool to compose these inscriptions.
A music venue in Buffalo responded to backlash after displaying a ‘We Are Charlie Kirk’ meme. The live music bar, Nietzsche’s, barred the DJ from future performances. The venue issued a public apology via Facebook, clarifying they did not condone the meme. They stressed their commitment to maintaining a respectful and inclusive environment.
Nietzsche’s wrote, ‘We apologize for an occurrence during a recent show involving a ‘We are Charlie Kirk’ meme learned of from social media.’ The venue stated that the content did not reflect its values, even if intended as a joke. Nietzsche’s assured patrons the DJ would not return and affirmed its dedication to inclusivity and respect.
Charlie Kirk, known for leading Turning Point USA, was assassinated at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025, during his American Comeback Tour. A song titled ‘We Are Charlie Kirk,’ resembling a Christian power ballad, emerged on Sept. 18, 2025. It was credited to Spalexma and included lyrics venerating Kirk’s dedication to his beliefs.
Since then, TikTok users and others have used the song to mock Kirk and his death. The assassination and surrounding events have raised significant public and media attention. The case against Tyler Robinson continues while his father, Matthew Robinson, maintains his business operations.
