‘You need to study your heart.”
Less than 24 hours before the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States, Kristan Hawkins was on the campus of Montana State University. She was speaking. She noticed her phone blowing up with activity. She looked. She paused. She announced the breaking news that Charlie Kirk had been shot on another college campus. You didn’t have to know anything to realize this wasn’t a random news story to Hawkins — she was in shock. Her friend had been shot. Her friend had been shot doing exactly what she was doing. And students laughed. You don’t have to read too much into their expressions to realize that “He got what he deserved” seemed to be the instinct.
