UC Irvine Professor Suggests Killing Journalist Nick Shirley Ahead of Kirk Assassination Anniversary

One year ago this week, a young conservative named Charlie Kirk was shot dead on a college campus. His offense? Talking to college students about politics. He was gunned down in front of hundreds at Utah Valley University, killed mid-sentence while doing what he did best – engaging young Americans in blunt, unfiltered debate. His alleged killer, 23-year-old Tyler Robinson, now faces aggravated murder charges and a possible death penalty.

You would think that kind of horror might give even the most radical leftists a moment of pause before cracking wise about political violence. You would think the memory of a man bleeding out on a stage might cool the temperature, even a degree or two. It didn’t.

A left-wing professor at the University of California (UC) at Irvine who also lectures at Chapman University insinuated that it would be the “funniest thing” if someone were to kill journalist Nick Shirley at Harvard “before the Kirkiversary.”

Shirley will be visiting Harvard’s Republican Club on Wednesday, and in a post to the Republican Club page, UC Irvine professor Matt Goldman commented, “Someone can do the funniest thing just before the Kirkiversary.” Thursday will mark one year since Kirk was fatally shot while holding an event at Utah Valley University.

So let’s be direct about what happened here. A university professor – a man who grades papers and shapes young minds for a living – publicly suggested that someone should do “the funniest thing” to a conservative journalist right before the anniversary of an actual conservative’s assassination. What exactly is the “funniest thing” he’s referring to? What else could it possibly mean? Strip away the irony-poisoned internet language, and you’re left with a grown man, drawing a taxpayer-funded salary, hinting that someone should murder Nick Shirley.

And this wasn’t some momentary lapse in judgment. Goldman also commented “only good ICE agent is a dead one” on the same page. His social media profile featured a cartoon image celebrating the 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson – posted just five days after Thompson was killed. This is a man who treats political murder like entertainment. A hobby, almost.

Let’s all take a moment to reflect upon the ultra tolerance and coexistence and love from the left..

"I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."
— Charlie Kirk, 5 April 2023.

"We actually need looser gun laws because I think that oh yeah. Yeah. I mean especially in states like Chicago and Illinois..."
"We fully acknowledge that when you have liberty that you're going to have sometimes undesirable outcomes ... in a free society, people are going to do bad things and dumb things. But there is a price to liberty."

— Charlie Kirk, 8 August 2025.

@ElwoodBlues Good to know you support the murder of political opponents, tells us what type of individual you are
@sunsporter1649 WRONG!!!!!

I DON'T support what happened to Charlie Kirk. However, the sad fact is that Charlie DID support what happened to him.
