Charlie Kirk, George Floyd, and EVERYTHING Different About the Left and the Right – PJ Media– pjmedia.com
A large part of me feels filthy comparing the two because Charlie Kirk doesn’t deserve for anyone to lump him into the same category as George Floyd. Even if we accept the central thesis of the Black Lives Matter movement — that George Floyd was murdered in a senseless act of police violence — the circumstances between the two were extraordinarily different, and no one should lose sight of why:
George Floyd was convicted of eight separate crimes between 1997 and 2005 alone. (It’s unclear how many times he was arrested.) In 2007, he was sentenced to four years in prison for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. On May 25, 2020 — the day he lost his life while police officer Derek Chauvin handcuffed him — he was in the process of being arrested (yet again) for ripping off a convenience store with counterfeit money.
Chauvin was found guilty of three murder and manslaughter charges on April 20, 2021. He was sentenced to over 22 years in prison.
In stark contrast, Charlie Kirk didn’t have a criminal record or a violent past. He dedicated himself to promoting his political beliefs and testifying about his faith in Christ, traveling throughout the U.S. heartland, having civil, peaceful discussions with Americans of every walk of life. Conservative or liberal, Christian or atheist, straight or gay, white or black, he was willing to speak with anyone and everyone.
On Sept. 10, 2025, an assassin ended Charlie Kirk’s life with a single bullet. Three unfired rounds were engraved with the words: “Hey fascist! Catch!”
