## Summary

An unnamed student at the University of Texas at San Antonio recited a poem that appeared to celebrate Charlie Kirk’s assassination, then told conservative activist Christian Collins he was brave to appear without his neck covered. Collins responded, “I’ll pray for you”, and later said he would continue taking part in campus events. The exchange has drawn criticism online and renewed attention to hostility around political debate.

The incident took place at a “Prove Me Wrong/Pick Up the Mic” event on 23 September, and Collins shared a video of it on Wednesday. Kirk was fatally shot in the neck at a Turning Point USA event in Utah on 10 September 2025; the alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged and is awaiting trial. The student referred to an event planned for 10 October, but the article gives no further details about it.
