Freedom of speech lies at the heart of democracy, but what happens when speaking your truth is met with violence and death? The tragic loss of Charlie Kirk has revealed a disturbing trend among mental health professionals who have abandoned their ethical obligation to neutrality, celebrating the death of a human being simply because they disagreed with his political views.

Drawing from our extensive experience as therapists in the prison system, where we worked with individuals who committed heinous crimes while maintaining professional neutrality, we examine the stark contrast between proper therapeutic ethics and the shocking behavior displayed by self-proclaimed mental health professionals on social media platforms following Kirk's death. When therapists can sit with violent criminals without judgment but cannot extend the same courtesy to someone with different political beliefs, we must question what's happening to our profession.

Charlie Kirk began his career at just 19 years old, standing before thousands to debate ideas and encourage critical thinking. Whether you agreed with his message or not, his ability to articulate his views without inciting violence demonstrated his commitment to peaceful discourse. In an era where reasoned debate often gives way to personal attacks, Kirk's approach to discussion—focused on ideas rather than individuals—offers an important lesson for all of us, regardless of political affiliation.

This episode isn't about red or blue politics—it's about respecting human dignity, upholding freedom of speech, and maintaining professional ethics in an increasingly polarized world. For those who witnessed this horrific event, either in person or through media, we urge you to seek trauma support. Join us as we honor a life lost while reflecting on the critical importance of protecting our right to speak freely without fear of violent retribution.
