Walton County – 10/15/25 – District 2 Commissioner Danny Glidewell recommended that the Walton County Board of County Commissioners
designate a local street as ‘Charlie Kirk Parkway.’
“Recently, we lost a wonderful American, Mr. Charlie Kirk, who had a great influence on a lot of people. His murder was a shock to all of us, and I was asked to present this – to create a ‘Charlie Kirk Parkway’ in Walton County,” said Commissioner Glidewell.
Glidewell said that after researching the issue, he felt that whatever highway was chosen, it should not adversely affect residents with regard to street addressing.
“I have identified a road that we could name after Mr. Kirk without impacting people’s addresses,” said Glidewell. “That’s Highway 393 North. So, I would make a motion that we designate Highway 393 North as ‘Charlie Kirk Parkway’ and leaving the addressing as 393.”
Commission Chair Donna Johns also reminded everyone that this was occurring on what would have been Charlie Kirk’s birthday. She thanked Commissioner Glidewell for bringing up the recommendation.
An audience member also came to the podium to thank the Commissioners for taking this action and noted that Kirk had also just received the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously that same day. The motion passed unanimously.

Who's Charlie Kirk?

What a tremendous waste of time energy and effort by the very commissioners who couldn’t even win a simple code enforcement case. Now we get to see that hideous politically and negatively charged monster house by an out of state owner and the locals are forced to pay the attorneys fees of the code enforcement violator. The WC commissioners need to find a decent lawyer who can win cases for the GOOD of WC. Not change WC roadways to names of cultish religious white supremicists masquerading as a hero. We all know the deal here and it’s a travesty.

Walco is MAGA Supreme. As I recall Huckabee won the presidential primary in Walton County. Then moved here and led the charge to make beaches private. Hoo boy Walton loves con men and developers.

I propose naming Hwy 393 South “Sandy Hook Parkway” in memory of the 20 children and six adults who were killed at school. That was one of the most tragic days in this country’s history.

MrSunshine I saw your thumbs down about naming 393 south in memory of the lives lost at Sandy Hook. Why? As long as we’re renaming streets in memory of those tragically lost, why not the children at Sandy Hook? I never heard of Charlie Kirk before he was killed. I sympathize that he was a father who left young children so early in their lives. But why not name a street in memory of so many young children shot while at school? Are you that cold hearted?

I agree apples and oranges. Charlie Kirk has 2 small children who will grow up not knowing their father. Most people I’ve talked to, regardless of political affiliation, never heard of him before he was shot. The parents of the 20 children at Sandy Hook will never know what their 6/7 year old children would’ve grown up to be. We didn’t know about those children before they were viciously slaughtered, however, it was such a tragedy. Why can’t we memorialize both? Or not? Just keep national politics out of it when naming local roads. As other posters have said this is really a waste of time for the BCC to address, keep national politics out of it, focus on local issues.
BTW, I live off of 393S, about a mile of the Gulf of Mexico!

Personally I can't wait to drive down Charlie Kirk till I run into the Gulf of America once the road work on the north side is done.Did or do you agree with everything that Charlie Kirk believed? I personally have listened to hours and hours of his debates before his life was tragically taken including the podcast with Gavin Newsom. I give them both credit for their civility. He was a smart young man that had skills and ability to express his thoughts and was willing to debate primarily with young people who we all know is our future. Some of what he believed crossed some lines of humanity, dignity and respect for all people. He had no checks and balances on his beliefs. When he lost a debate over an issue he would say "I disagree" even though his facts were proven wrong. In the weeks prior to his death I have to say he was pushing back on Israel and I respected that. He had strong ties and huge money contributions coming from Israel. To be honest there is still a lot that makes no sense with what we know about his assassination.
Anytime a life is taken by these mentally ill mostly young white men we should be asking ourselves "what is happening to these young men that creates such monsters?" Instead our American leaders only really care about hate and division. We will never solve the problems causing this radicalization with the leadership we have at the moment. It should mean something to all of us that we are no longer able to have conversation without the emotion of hate. Maybe we all have responsibility to help with this issue of radicalization. I am not fond of the idea of naming a road in Walton County after Charlie Kirk when there has been so many other tragic shootings but I will not cringe every time I drive down that road. I will probably think about his family and the tragedy that exists in this country called hate...

Here is where we start to disagree.
You state 'some of what he believed.. crossed lines..' this is your opinion but you are stating it like its fact. Who are you or anyone for that matter to judge what anyone else believes?
Who's beliefs actually have checks and balances? This is an odd stance in my opinion
Who judges who won or lost debates? To say 'we disagree' is a gentlemen's way to end the back and forth. How else could you accomplish this? Give me an example of one time 'his facts' were proven wrong, that would mean they weren't facts.
Do you know for a fact that he had huge money ties to Israel? If so whom in Israel? Individuals or their government? This is a big accusation to throw out there.
Are you insinuating Israel killed Kirk? If so what role did the kid play?
As far as the mental health issues in this country I am sure we will really disagree so I don't want to pop the cork on that issue.
Let me tell you a little secret that you already know, the is no such thing as leaders. The only thing that makes a leader is a following. Our issue is not leadership its followers and who they are listening to. If Walton county renaming a road makes you cringe maybe the issue is you because this country is full of roads named after people that others have issues with.
Personally I loved what Kirk did. I didn't always have the same beliefs as him but it was cool to see someone give an open mic to anyone in a effort to close the gap between ideologies. I hope his assassination lights the spark of what this country need to get back on track. Just my opinion
Beach Fanatic
I did not agree with everything Kirk believed. I barely agree with myself on everything I believe.From your response I may assume you did not watch many of his debates. I did. Maybe take a look at the Cambridge debates and just about every debate with a guy named Parker (don't know his full name). There were more than a few where his facts and assertions were proven wrong. Many of his debates were staged with supportive crowds. Many other debates he pulled from the internet by Charlie Kirk himself. I am not really trying to make a point against naming a road after him because I respected his abilities and vision to see a weakness in the democratic party. He made his points clear and did not waver. All I am really saying is that he did not always get the facts right and I never saw him admit it. There is no one on this planet who knows everything even though they have may have high IQ's or believe they have high IQ's (you are free to find the clips of such people). Definitely not you and me

I have watched so many of Charlie Kirk's debates that I feel like I know him but you are correct I have no right to judge him and I don't think I have. However I think he made people feel disrespected and yes in my book that crosses a line. I think he made some women feel disrespected. I think he made some people of color feel disrespected. I think he made some people with a different religion or no religion feel disrespected. I think he made some young college students feel disrespected. I never felt disrespected because I am a white male and he made me feel like a king so I get your enthusiasm. I think Charlie Kirk tried to be respectful but a debate is about winning and losing and he like everyone not so interested in losing. What I am trying to get across is that not everything is a debate. We need to have conversations that are not so accusatory and we all need to agree on this. I respect that you respected Charlie Kirk. I respected Charlie Kirk. I think you read my reply wrong. I will not cringe on seeing his name on a road sign but I just do not understand why he is different than all the children and mothers and grandmothers and fathers and grandfathers and brothers and sisters who have died innocently from a bullet by a deranged person or assassin.
Many of the people that I "assume" you listen to like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes etc. all believe that the information we have from the FBI makes no sense. There are problems with the evidence but we will never have all the facts because of the way the FBI operates (like a secret police). These people are convinced that Israel had something to do with the assassination. I really don't know do you?
Okay you want me to list the donors to TPUSA so I will but there was also a phone call directly between Charlie Kirk and Netanyahu about possibly losing donations a few days or weeks before his murder. Bernard Marcus, Isaac Perlmutter and the Jewish Community foundation made some of the largest donations but there are probably others. I think we should just be aware of this and not draw strong conclusions myself but the people I listed in the above paragraph go way beyond awareness with strong beliefs. Candace Owens was a close friend of Charlie Kirk and she had spoken with him several times about Israel and how the attacks on Gaza was needlessly killing innocent people including children. Look up her podcast don't believe anything until you research it yourself. Apparently (from Candace Owens and others) Charlie had the ear of our leadership and he was telling them that Israel was going too far. I don't know if you know this (you should) but there are billionaires that finance "influencers" like Charlie Kirk and anyone with power.
All of our beliefs should have checks and balances which is the same thing as moral reasoning. If you make someone feel bad on purpose then we probably should rethink how to communicate.
Our questionable leadership of this Country has created a spark and the recent elections are showing the effects of that spark. People are really tired of hate. It serves no purpose...

I have watched countless hours of his videos and debates
The kid parker is just that, a kid. Not much world experience, book smart with all the talking points while being real world naive but he will get there.
You state many of his debates were 'staged', do you know this as fact? You need to stop presenting your opinion as truth without a slightest about of backup for your claims but this is a typical tactic of the left. Maybe you don't even realize you're doing it.
I don't think his mission was to point out weakness in the democrat party as much as just to present his viewpoint and backup his position.
If possible give me a example of where he got his facts wrong so I can see what you mean.
This one is going to rub you wrong but men don't care about peoples feelings when it comes to truth. I'm not saying you call a dumb child dumb but we should all strive to be honest and this rubs weak minded people as disrespectful sometimes.
I couldn't even imagine what it must be like to walk through life trying not to offend anyone or caring if you do. Personally I think this will be one of the major factors in the downfall of our nation but thats just my opinion. Can you imagine our grandfathers believing that men that dress up as women are actually women? No, because they were men and they were honest.
If you feel that Kirk catered to 'white men' then you missed his entire lifes purpose but maybe you cannot help yourself. Debates can be about winning but true debate is about the flow and sharings of ideas and points of view. As much as a lot of people on the left annoy me sometimes I like interacting with them because I try to see things from their point of view.
The reason they will name roads, school, building ect after Kirk is because he was trying to close the gap between people. Victims of violence are something different, in my opinion..
I used to like Tucker more, Owens is off the rails with little hope of return, and I have never heard of Fuentes (but I will look him up). Very few people in my circle believe a word that comes out of 99% of the governments mouths because they have repeatedly shown that they have little character and will lie without a second thought. Jan 6th, Trumps ties to russia, hunters laptop, and I don't just mean the left I mean on anything (just a couple of examples off the top of my head.
My views on Israel do not align with most on the right. I think they had a right to retaliate but they went too far. Kill all the soldiers you want but leave the women and children alone.
I think Kirk was killed because he was a future force for the right. I don't think some kid made that shot at that distance under that kind of pressure but I may be wrong.
Any influencers that can be bought are low character individuals and I have no interest in them. I do not believe Kirk was bought and paid for.
I agree our beliefs should have checks and balances but that is the internal struggle within each individual. No one should harm another on purpose.
There is no spark, the left won elections that they were going to win the right will do the same. You always bring up hate and I still have no idea who or what you mean.
