Oppose any statement in support of Kirk or his memory. Stop trying to gaslight the country into lionizing a white supremacist. And he was a white supremacist as evidenced by his own statements:
"Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more." – The Charlie Kirk Show, 19 May 2023 "The great replacement strategy, which is well under way every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different." – The Charlie Kirk Show, 1 March 2024 "If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … Y ou do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. Y ou had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously."– The Charlie Kirk Show, 13 July 2023 "We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.” -- Aug 2023 Guest User

Ive been horrified by the city of orange city council meetings, but to adjourn in honor of a white supremacist while children are murdered in schools, and people are being racially profiled and kidnapped really makes me fearful for your souls. God will judge you, i pray he had mercy for your sins.

It is deeply ironic that the very same people that are claiming to honor someone they maintain was in favor of free speech, are trying to enact this ordinance whose intention is obviously to limit free speech.

Please take more time to ensure all reasonable and feasible options are considered to ensure safety of drivers and pedestrians while still maintaining the Old Town style. I do not support obstruction of the public view of the fountain. Can the City increase enforcement of DUI drivers at or near this location? Guest User

Y ou should support only implementing more bollards that conform to Old Town style. Only an additional solid physical barrier will provide protection to pedestrians in the plaza.
I oppose the splitter island curb and landscape concept. Curbing is only a short barrier that causes vehicles to deflect and/or to launch into the air and create more danger. The history of the vehicle intrusion has proven that the drivers were DUI and speeding. The curbing will have no effect on DUI drivers that are speeding, and this will simply launch their vehicles. The DUI's eyes appear to focus on the lighting through the plaza making the road seem contiguously straight through the plaza.
The chain and pipe railing should be predominantly bollard and chain.
