After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a 71-year-old man, George Zinn approached the police shouting that he was the shooter and asking to be shot. Although he had no visible weapon, Zinn was arrested for obstructing justice, refusing to provide information about the weapon used. The images of the attack on Kirk went viral, generating mixed reactions in society and amplifying existing divisions. Personalities from conservative media characterized the crime as an act of war, which sparked fears of violence and extreme polarization in America.
