Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.
NEW: This community is a place to mock MAGA, Neo-Fascism, Trump, and all the people grifting the USA and/or trying to ruin it.
Of course you can still mock Charlie, his big head, tiny face, and his inability to be honest in life and his arguments.

Not to be a killjoy, but my understanding is that, because of type of crowd the event was expected to draw, there were warnings in the community to not engage, stay home, and stay safe.
As amusing as it is to imagine a bunch of closeted MAGA folk showing up and overloading Grindr, there was also a mini queer lock-down going on and folks that might have otherwise been out and about, suddenly found themselves with free time to twiddle their thumbs or whatever.
This isn't a singular incident however. This has also happened at the RNC the last 2 years. And I'm sure there have been smaller issues throughout that happen to coincide with events but didn't get media attention. The RNC is widely known ahead of time and not a pop-up event like the Kirk Memorial Grift Basket.

Once is chance, twice is coincidence, three times is a pattern.
Three? This has been a running joke for ages.
It seems like a pretty big leap to assume the normal population of the city was able to overload something that's used to dealing with them on a regular basis.
