All the items that will be strictly banned at Charlie Kirk’s funeral as warning is issued
A list of banned items for Charlie Kirk’s funeral this weekend has been revealed, as well as the penalty for anyone who shows up to the event with a bag.
On 10 September, the 31-year-old right-wing activist was shot during an event at Utah Valley University.
Suspect Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old state native, has since appeared in court and faces seven charges, including aggravated murder and witness tampering.
Kirk’s funeral is set to take place over the weekend, with both US President Donald Trump and his Vice President JD Vance set to make speeches.
