There is no justification for the killing of Charlie Kirk. That he was also a husband and a father of two young children only deepens the gravity of this crime, writes Brian Bird.
Right-wing youth activist and influencer Charlie Kirk speaks during a public event at Utah Valley University minutes before he was shot in Orem, Utah, on Sept. 10, 2025.

Overview

  • Legal Aid BC condemned the clip as "deeply offensive" and said it does not reflect the organization’s values or policies.
  • The agency clarified the woman in the video had left before the Utah incident, countering reports that a current employee was fired.
  • Legal Aid BC said it issued the clarification due to erroneous information circulating online and temporarily suspended an email address after a flood of inquiries.
  • The woman, identified online as Devon Cassidy, did not respond to a LinkedIn request for comment, and at least one of her social media accounts has been made private.
  • U.S. officials said 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was taken into custody in connection with Charlie Kirk’s onstage shooting at Utah Valley University and is due in court early next week.
