Texas State student reenacts Charlie Kirk assassination at campus event

The Texas State University student who was expelled when he was caught mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination in front of a horrified crowd claimed he “made a mistake in the heat of the moment.”

Devion Canty Jr. pleaded for help with his education costs on GoFundMe Thursday, just days after he vilely spewed profanity at a group of mourners outside the school’s Turning Point USA chapter.

“Recently, I faced a situation where I had to choose between immediate expulsion or withdrawing from the university,” Canty Jr said on the crowdfunding page. “I made the decision to withdraw—not because I wanted to leave, but for my own safety and the well-being of the campus community.”

Canty claimed he was being targeted as an “out-of-control, disrespectful young Black man” and that he was just a “passionate student who made a mistake in the heat of the moment,” he wrote in his self-run fundraiser.

“Spit on, called racial slurs, and witnessing women being cursed at and pushed around. I spoke up, and while I recognize my actions weren’t perfect, I did not harm anyone,” Canty wrote.

Canty, who named his fundraiser “going back to txst,” was captured on video shouting at mourners on campus after Kirk was struck by a single gunshot by alleged assassin Tyler Robinson during an event at Utah Valley University.

“Charlie Kirk got hit in the neck, bitch!” Canty yelled in the video, slapping his neck and imitating the recoil of a bullet’s impact.

The ousted Bobcat student then climbed up to the base of a statue at the San Marcos campus and repeated the controversial re-enactment, dramatically slumping to the ground as if he were shot.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called for the immediate removal of the student from the public institution after the viral video circulated across the internet.

“Hey Texas State. This conduct is not accepted at our schools. Expel this student immediately. Mocking assassination must have consequences,” Abbott wrote on X.

School officials quickly identified the instigator in the video and announced he was removed from the student population.

“The university has identified the student in the disturbing video from Monday’s event. I will not tolerate behavior that mocks, trivializes, or promotes violence on our campuses. It is antithetical to our TXST values,” Texas State University President Kelly Damphouse said in a statement.

Canty claims he was given the option of “immediate expulsion or withdrawing” from the school and allegedly chose to remove himself from the university. He has raised nearly $2,000 as of Saturday morning and set a goal of $9,000.

“This fundraiser will help me cover the costs of pursuing my education elsewhere or taking the necessary steps to return to Texas State,” he wrote. “I still believe in my education and my future, and I would love to be welcomed back on campus one day.”

Canty is the latest GoFundMe user who has taken to the fundraising site in an attempt to raise money after they were ousted from their job or school over remarks they made after Kirk’s death.

Several fundraisers were set up by people who claimed they were “doxed and fired” for speaking out against “fascists.”

“The harassment reached my workplace, and it cost me my income. But let me be clear: this will not silence me. If anything, I intend to be louder. I want to use this as an opportunity to dig deeper into creating content that amplifies the voices of the unheard and continues to challenge hate,” one person wrote on the crowdsourcing site.

The handout hopeful has raised over $75,000 towards her goal of $80,000, but didn’t share exactly what led to her firing.

She claims she needs a “cushion to stay afloat” to take care of her pets and her bills.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

When foolishness and stupidity combine to make the fooler a fool..

Pray not to have a foolish son, but a wise son.

A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

What about forgiveness and turning the other cheek? Aren't we Christians anymore?

Good for him,

Whatever rocks your boat.

If you can control your mouth, d!¢k and emotions as a man, you have very less or no problem again... Just focus and grinding on the hustle

He should be arrested and tell us what he knows about the assassination

When you don't have to show your opinion to the world and be stupid but the reverse is the case you chose to be foolish and stupid at the same time.

I wish your parent can flog some koboko into your sense then you will know that freedom is limitless sometimes..

You see when its time to die you and me will die. Nothing will stop it!

ElSudani:

He is still very much alive, that is the huge difference!

Don't ever let your emotions get the best out of you in any circumstances or situations.

You are misogynistic.
A foolish Son brings grief to the family and his community

If black people were not used to making thoughtless mistakes the black races would have been well ahead by now

Those are not his words but rather a quotation from the Bible

Trump should just deport the guy to Zimbabwe, since he doesn't want to have sense..the werey want people to donate money for him to complete school...

So we can't have freedom of expression again?

Must we all love Kirk?!

People dislike who they dislike, and have a right to their feeling of gladness when their enemy dies, as long as they're not the cause.

Abacha died, and we all celebrated all through that night in the streets of lagos.
President Buhari died, and some Nigerians openly expressed their joy/hate even online.

Where's the funking freedom in America ffs!

If something like this happens to Reno Omokri, some people will still rejoice bout it.

Why would he do something so dumb like this? for attention or to mock a political assasination?

I'm glad he has released his mistake and I hope he can be forgiven.

ElSudani:

We are Christians but the law is not a Christian. I wouldn't be offended with anyone who sends him money though.

You have freedom of expression but your institution, workplace, or school also has a standard that you represent. If the organization you represent doesn't want it's members celebrating murder, you are free to find another organization that fits your morality.
If you come to my church naked claiming you have freedom of expression, we will throw you out.

I agree with you absolutely, a man who does not know his history is like a tree without root.

Democrats may decide to raise funds for his education, perhaps.

Shey you sabi talk anyha, then prepare to see anyha nah...

If na Naija nah, one person go dey waka everywhere dey claim victim... Dey claim say dem dey jealous am upandan...

Even the student come out dey apologize but to some people dem go wan justify the mumu act.

Oyinbo in dia good and bad na everything dem take pass Nigeria...

Charlie kirk matter Don show me say the people wey dey shout "you are too soft", "sticks and stones", "snow flakes" etc are actually the biggest snowflakes and are very weak. Dem go shout freedom of speech when dem want talk nonsense about Africans and black people, but when people talk back, dem go start to shout. Weaklings

Dude is lucky, first time I saw the video, I thought he'd be deported. If this is all he got, he should be happy.

He married an older woman but still died before her.

He didn't live long to have increased sexual urge while his wife would have become too old to satisfy his urge..
They even had 2 children and could have had more if he didn't die.

So old woman fit born pikin?
Well, maybe because she is white.

This life no get manual sha
