Over 1,500 students packed the River Center Theatre in Baton Rouge on October 27, chanting a fallen hero’s name. Holding the photo high, they refused to stay silent. The pure, heartwarming honor was for only one person, TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.

The emotional gathering came six weeks after Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University. As part of this generation, those two-handed LSU students showed who their destined guardian is.

Kirk, 31, was shot and killed on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University. The sniper reportedly fired from a rooftop 142 yards away. Prosecutors charged Tyler Robinson with murder and are seeking the death penalty, alleging the attack was politically motivated.
The LSU students gathered to carry forward what Kirk started. A video shared by @TONYxTWO showed every attendee standing in the packed theater. They captioned, “This generation will NOT go quietly!!!”

Each held Kirk’s photo. They chanted his name repeatedly, voices echoing through the hallway. The scene sent chills through anyone watching.
The rally was part of TPUSA’s “This Is the Turning Point” tour. Kirk was supposed to speak at LSU himself before the assassination derailed those plans. The students delivered his message anyway.
Another interesting part? Governor Jeff Landry posted a video from LSU’s campus after the gathering, challenging the Board of Supervisors to erect a Kirk statue “to defend the freedom of speech on college campuses.” He wanted LSU to become the first campus with a Kirk memorial.
As soon as the clip surfaced on the internet, Kirk supporters could not help but share their love for this generation.

Social media got flooded with overwhelming reactions from football fans and conservative supporters. The passionate responses showed how deeply Kirk’s death affected people beyond college campuses.
One fan delivered a prophetic message, penning, “There will be divine justice for what they did – leaders like Kirk are so rare – but others will follow because he made them a path… And I will help them every way I can!”
Another supporter noted, “This generation gives me hope for the future. Charlie’s gift to all of us.” The sentiment reflected widespread belief that young conservatives won’t quit.
A third fan went philosophical, adding, “Every generation faces a moment that defines its destiny. These young voices just proved that truth never dies it simply finds new guardians.”
Religious support poured in, too. “God bless them all!” one random X user wrote, keeping things simple but sincere.
An LSU local expressed pride, writing, “So proud to call LSU home.”
These reactions are completely opposite to the previous reaction we saw initially from the community when Kirk died, because at that moment, America looked divided.
But here in the LSU hall room, all students were holding the legacy that the late political influencer left for his community which will make America great again.
