What a shot!
Seems like an invitation to continue the Arizona tradition of shooting highway signs.
Streets were named for nazis in Germany too.
we had campus/streets in the west coast named or associated with slave owners.
There's a whole ass state over there named after a slave owner
From a different article:
"Green Valley Democratic Sen. Rosanna Gabaldón said the proposal bypasses the normal process — one set up by the Legislature itself — that assigns the task of reviewing name changes to the Arizona State Board on Geographic and Historic Names.
“SB1010 politicizes the state highway naming process,” she said, with the board designed to pursue a process “that’s supposed to be neutral (and) reflective.”
“Our transportation system should unite Arizonans, not be used for political statements,” Gabaldón said.
Sen. Lauren Kuby pointed out that the board policy — the one lawmakers are overriding — is not to name anything after someone until at least five years after they have died. That, said the Tempe Democrat, “both avoids political controversy and allows historical perspective.”"
The only thing that should be named after him is a fucking fountain.
I'd go with a sewage processing plant, personally.
No, sewage treatment sites are actually useful.
I think Rainbird should issue a Charlie Kirk memorial lawn sprinkler.
The Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway sounds like a great place to take a shit.
I predict the Highway department is going to end up cleaning up a lot of poop off that highway. And people will be stealing signed announcing it's name. Or shooting holes in those signs.
Trump is going to have the same problem with his gravesite unless it's patrolled 24x7x365. A camera can be cut down, painted over, or otherwise destroyed. People will find a way to defile his final resting place. Eric and Don Jr. are going to spend so much money keeping that from happening at Mar-A-Lago.
the govorner is a dem, she will likely veto it, if it hasnt already. they might not have the supermajority to ovveride her.
They might not, honestly. How much of that loyalty is born of respect and how much is fear?
Time to paint a bunch of dicks on the street
♫ He's on a HIGHWAY TO HELL! ♫
oops, looks like the valve on my rv black water tank broke.
Pathetic.
way to go arizona
Just imagine: you die and a stretch of highway is named after you. What could be worse?
you die and your legacy are ironic ai slop songs dedicated to your death.
it's like hell but real.
In fairness, once I'm dead, there won't be a me to care.
Can't wait for the signs for it to be constantly riddled with bullets. That, or I'll accept graffiti and other forms of minor vandalism as well.
One of the few times where it's valid to ask, "lowkirknuinely?!"
He lived in Scottsdale. He should have Loop 101 instead.
