Georgetown removes second wave of flyers mocking Charlie Kirk, reports incident to FBI
On Sept. 24 and again the evening of Sept. 25, inflammatory flyers mocking Charlie Kirk — including the lines "Hey fascist! Catch!" (echoing text reportedly found on a shell casing tied to Kirk's Sept. 10 killing), a "Rest in p-ss" taunt, and an image of Kirk with his eyes blacked out — were posted in Georgetown’s Red Square and carried QR codes linking to a Georgetown John Brown Club recruitment page urging action beyond "ceremonial resistance." Georgetown removed the posters, reported the incident to the FBI, and said its safety and threat‑assessment teams are investigating with law enforcement as students including College Republicans treasurer Shae McInnis and GOP board member Knox Graham demanded a full investigation and said the materials chilled free expression and raised safety concerns.
