Man Claims Cheering At Charlie Kirk Shooting Was To Aid Security

Following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, a viral video captured a bearded man, identified only as David, seemingly celebrating and shouting "USA" shortly after the shooting. While many social media users condemned his behavior as disturbing and accused him of supporting the shooter, David defended his actions by stating he intended to create a distraction to help security personnel escape and to project strength amid the chaos. David expressed grief for Kirk's death and concern for his own family's safety, acknowledging the backlash and indicating he would address the situation further after some time. Despite his explanation, public sentiment remains largely negative, with calls for investigation and widespread criticism on platforms like X. The man’s identity has not been officially verified by authorities, who confirmed they had been contacted about the video. This incident has added to the ongoing tensions and discussions surrounding the tragic event and its aftermath.
