No Kings Protest: Mocking Violence, Threatening Lives

This weekend, the No Kings Protest didn’t just cross a line — it shattered the boundary between political outrage and outright evil.

The No Kings Protest revealed more than political rage — it exposed the spiritual sickness of a culture that celebrates violence.

A protest that revealed darkness

At a left-wing demonstration under the banner of the No Kings Protest, two moments went viral for all the wrong reasons.

First, in Chicago, a woman laughed and pretended to be shot in the neck, mocking the attempted assassination of Charlie Kirk. The footage shows a real person, making a cruel gesture in public. Social media users have identified the woman as “Lucy Martinez,” allegedly a teacher at Nathan Hale Elementary School in Chicago. As of this writing, her identity has not been officially confirmed by Chicago Public Schools or law enforcement.

What matters most: the act itself happened. The cruelty is unquestionable.

A man threatens to kill Stephen Miller

Around the same time in Seattle, a man at the No Kings Protest was caught on video saying he would kill people he calls “Nazis,” specifically naming Stephen Miller. The clip, recorded by Brandi Kruse and posted by Andy Ngo, shows an unmistakable threat made in broad daylight.

A public death threat. A movement that claims to oppose tyranny now embodying it. And yet, silence from media and officials.

What the “No Kings” movement claims

The protesters behind the No Kings Protest say they’re resisting authoritarianism, accusing Donald Trump of “acting like a king.” But their actions reveal something far more dangerous. When a movement laughs at attempted murders and openly threatens lives, it’s not standing against tyranny—it’s embracing it.

Ironically, the people who accuse others of dictatorship are the ones displaying a tyrant’s spirit—willing to dehumanize human beings to the point of cheering or planning violence.

The double standard we’ve come to expect

If someone on the right mocked a left-wing figure’s shooting or threatened to kill a progressive aide, this would dominate every network, ignite community outrage, and prompt state investigations.

But because the targets were conservatives—Charlie Kirk and Stephen Miller—the coverage is muted, the statements are minimal, and the accountability is absent.

This reality compels believers to think deeply about their posture and response: how should Christians engage when even the culture applauds violence?

A spiritual sickness on full display

This isn’t just about one protest. It’s about what happens when hatred is normalized. A culture where:

— People laugh at assassination attempts

— They fantasize about killing political opponents

— Silence becomes the default

Bold Christians have been writing on this for years, pointing out how the spirit of cancellation, intimidation, and moral chaos has overtaken reason and virtue.
Christianity & Cancel Culture: How Should Believers Respond
The No Kings Protest is a live demonstration of the rot that arises when biblical truth is abandoned and cultural relativism reigns.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.” — Isaiah 5:20
“Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles.” — Proverbs 24:17
“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” — Ephesians 5:11

Evil no longer hides

When someone publicly mocks a shooting and another openly threatens murder—and the world largely shrugs—that’s not normal. That’s a society desensitized to darkness.

The No Kings Protest wasn’t just another protest. It was a mirror held up to the soul of our nation—and the reflection is chilling.

We must name evil for what it is

This is why you and I must not stay silent. We are called to speak truth clearly, courageously, and without compromise.

Evil thrives when good people remain quiet. Let this moment prompt boldness not just in politics, but in theology and witness. Because this isn’t politics. This is evil.

Final Takeaway

The No Kings Protest exposed how far our culture has slipped. One woman mocked the attempted assassination of Charlie Kirk. A man threatened to kill Stephen Miller. And almost no one in power said a word.

Evil isn’t hiding anymore. It’s laughing in the streets.
