An estimated 300 supporters of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk gathered in his honor in Paso Robles on Saturday.

The Republican Party of San Luis Obispo County held a vigil for Kirk at Paso Robles City Park. Numerous speakers addressed the crowd, including SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow, Paso Robles Councilman Chris Bausch and County Republican Party Chairman Randall Jordan.

No protesters appeared at the event. Similar vigils have taken place around the United States, and even internationally, since Kirk’s killing on Wednesday at Utah Valley University.

Did Dan Dow attend Melissa and Mark Hortman’s vigil? Scary to have a DA wear political affiliation so prevalently on his sleeve. How about demonstrating equal disdain for all acts of terror?


How about not finding fault with folks attending a vigil for a murder victim? They choose what vigils to attend, you don’t choose for them.


Something tells me had DA Dow attended a BLM rio…. rally they would have no problem.
