00:00:13.630 --> 00:00:15.460 line:85% position:50% size:80%
CHARLIE KIRK'S ASSASSINATION

IS A STRAIGHTFORWARD MATTER,

00:00:31.978 --> 00:00:34.469 line:85% position:50% size:80%
ONE THAT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO HELP

00:00:34.469 --> 00:00:40.340 line:85% position:50% size:80%

00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:44.060 line:85% position:50% size:80%
WHERE EVERYDAY PEOPLE FEEL MORE AT RISK.

00:00:45.118 --> 00:00:49.668 line:85% position:50% size:80%

00:01:29.189 --> 00:01:30.058 line:85% position:50% size:80%
INSTEAD,

THE MAJORITY PROCEEDED WITH A RESOLUTION

00:01:32.829 --> 00:01:34.870 line:85% position:50% size:80%
THAT BRINGS GREAT PAIN

ABOUT WHO CHARLIE KIRK WAS,

00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.000 line:85% position:50% size:80%
A MAN WHO BELIEVED THAT THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT THAT

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.549 line:85% position:50% size:80%
