Unconstitutional Death of Charlie Kirk [Discord Notes Vol 5]

As a wrestling content creator, I value freedom of speech — the ability to express my thoughts, opinions, and solutions however I please, even if not everyone agrees with me. That’s what makes wrestling conversations fun, engaging, and meaningful. I love this business, and I want to see it improve. And just like I want better for wrestling, I want better for society. I want us to fix injustices and broken systems that never seem to change.

That’s why Discord Notes Vol. 5 is different.

I originally planned to use this episode to talk about Patreon, content, and the direction of my projects. But tragedy struck: Charlie Kirk was killed at 31 while speaking on a college campus. In that moment, I knew I had to set aside my plans and have a real conversation about what this means for America, for freedom of speech, and for us as people.

I quoted the Constitution and the First Amendment because that’s where this starts: “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.” Taking someone’s life in mid-sentence is the ultimate silencing. It’s unconstitutional in spirit — and it goes against everything this country claims to stand for.

In this episode, I talk about:

Why silencing voices with violence doesn’t kill ideas — it creates martyrs.

How outrage culture cares more about words than actions, and how dangerous that imbalance is.

The heartbreak of two children now growing up without their father — and how hate recycles through families when violence is the answer.

The importance of conversation — in politics, in wrestling, in life. Dialogue is how we learn, grow, and change.

The need to protect family, community, and free thought instead of caving to chaos.

This episode is raw, emotional, and real. It’s a heart-to-heart with America. And because of that, I couldn’t keep it behind a paywall. Discord Notes Vol. 5 is free to everyone — because this conversation is too important to lock away.

If you’ve followed my journey, you know I’m not trying to score political points or stir division. My goal is always the same: to have conversations that matter — fun when they can be, heavy when they must be — but always honest, always open, and always moving us toward change.

I still invite you to support me here on Patreon. Supporting this page helps me keep creating, keep wrestling with hard topics, and keep putting out content that matters. But Vol. 5 — this one belongs to all of us.

Thank you for listening, for keeping an open mind, and for being willing to have the hard conversations with me.
