Ron Unz on the message Charlie Kirk's killing sends to high-profile influential people in America

Probably 99.9% of wealthy, powerful, prominent people in America - Hollywood stars, top elected officials, billionaires and multibillionaires - don't have anything like the security that Charlie Kirk had, and he was still killed.  So if he was killed by an organization rather than a random nut, that's a very very powerful message to send to all of the wealthy, powerful, influential people in American society.  If you're a content creator and spend your time home doing videos, you're relatively safe, but if you're somebody who goes out on a daily basis, who speaks before audiences, who is an elected official, holds public meetings, who's a corporate executive who goes to your office every day, you're much much vulnerable, I think, than someone like Charlie Kirk is.  And if he can be killed, you can be killed.  And that's a very dangerous message to send to people.
