Look at what the Democrats have done to this country. The terror party has created so toxic an environment that memorial security is on high alert. We can’t even mourn our dead without threat of mass violence.

Charlie Kirk memorial security on high alert: what the public should know
Memorial service gets Level 1 Special Event status with Trump, Vance among speakers
By Stepheny Price , Ashley Papa , Michael Ruiz, Fox News, September 20, 2025:
As security preparations intensify for Charlie Kirk’s memorial service in Arizona, a former NYPD detective and security consultant warns mourners to remain alert.
“Pull your face out of your phone, put it in your pocket. Pay attention,” Pat Brosnan urged.
ADVERTISEMENTThe memorial, set for this weekend at State Farm Stadium, is expected to draw an enormous crowd. Officials estimate that more than 100,000 people may gather in and around the venue, including attendees inside the 63,000-seat stadium and overflow areas outside.
“From the moment you arrive… have your eyes wide open… who’s to your right, who’s to your left, who’s behind you? What are they doing?” Brosnan told Fox News Digital. “Eyes in the backs and the sides of your head.”

According to a law enforcement bulletin obtained by ABC News, authorities are “tracking several threats of unknown credibility.”
“Violent extremists and unaffiliated lone offenders may view the memorial service or related events as attractive attack targets due to the attendance of these individuals, other senior U.S. government officials, state and local government officials, and political activists and due to major international media attention,” the memo reportedly says.
The Department of Homeland Security has designated Kirk’s memorial service a Level 1 Special Event, the highest possible rating, matching Super Bowl-level security planning.
Officials state this designation is “one step below National Special Security Event (NSSE) which would be Olympic security or inauguration.”

Among those expected to pay respects are President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other prominent political figures.
The U.S. Secret Service is now the lead agency, coordinating efforts across state and local law enforcement. Multiple drone units, aerial surveillance, and magnetometer checkpoints will be deployed throughout the State Farm Stadium area.
“Even while at the stadium… there could be someone in that stadium who was bent on evil,” Brosnan warns. “The collective eyes and ears of 63,000 – that’s 126,000 eyes, 126,000 ears – they could see or hear something that could be critical.”
Brosnan, who now advises on national-level security planning, says the most important threat indicator isn’t what someone looks like, but what they’re doing.
“Not just appearance… but behavior,” he says. “If you see suspicious behavior, anything that you think is anomalous or weird or out of character… trust your instincts. Notify security.”
His core advice: “See something, say something.”
