Charlie Kirk billboard in Asheville

Man this person has incredible handwriting

It's all about can control. This person graffitis a lot.

I'm no longer buying any metal from that supplier.

I actually do buy a lot of metal for work so thanks for pointing this out.
yeah I'm def getting my metal from a diff metal place next time I'm buying metals
Took me a minute to realize we weren't talking about music and HTF I wound up in the wrong thread all of a sudden.

Boycott True Metal Supply, seems like a viable next step.

They have 49 Google reviews and all 5 stars. Most feel like fake reviews too.
- It would be a shame if people of the internet were to review them based solely on this billboard...
- At least one new "1 Star".
Do you own a house that needs roofing? I don't think we're their target demographic. Boycotts don't change behavior if you weren't buying it in the first place.

Rest in piss.

So instead of paying to advertise their products on the billboard, they pay for this.
Holy CEO brainworms...

Probably just some local goatee's laundering front.
I’ve never understood why a company would put itself in this position. What’s the upside? Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, you know Charlie Kirk is a deeply divisive figure who could easily be described as a Christian nationalist who regularly made racist and inflammatory remarks. So what exactly do you hope to achieve by paying for a billboard like this and attaching your company’s name to it? At best, you alienate half your customer base for the approval of a small, loud minority. It’s like the “pillow guy” all over again, a perfect example of self-inflicted damage.
At least they make it easy to avoid them I guess.
These idiots buy the lies they're fed. They think anyone who is left of themselves are people who don't work and that all the "hardworking good people" are "good Christian" good old boys like them. So to him, he is advertising.
"That one metal company honored real American hero Kirk, so I'll buy from him."
They also think they can just say no to any business that would be offended because they'd be so few of them.

Fucking legendary!

Well Asheville is an island of blue in a sea of red…

But good on them.

if you want an example of liberal city surrounded by very conservative rural area, the divide doesn't get much clear than Asheville, as we see the clash gets interesting

I always call it "the hole in the bible belt".
Take a look at our gerrymandering, too.

Proud of my city! Post this in the AVL sub? We need content 😂

Edit: Where is this billboard? I haven't seen it. Need a selfie. Also, "see" you at No Kings this Saturday!

It's on the hill on the left side of Patton Ave, before the bridge to Hillcrest. There's three other billboards next to it.
If you don't get your selfie before they take it down, there's one on Sweeten Creek Road and another on Leicester Hwy across from the car wash. You may have to bring your own spray paint.
AVL = Anti-Villain League?
- Oops, sorry. I didn't even think about it. It's how Asheville is most commonly written out in text messages, etc. We've also got WVL for Weaverville, not to be confused with WAVL which is West Asheville 😂
- in case you really didn't know AVL is the airport code for asheville, so some people just say "AVL" similar to how people say "ATL" for atlanta
- Literally watching credits to #3 at this moment

Found an article talking about the person who funded these billboards https://tennesseestar.com/news/small-business-owner-purchases-billboards-across-east-tennessee-honoring-charlie-kirk/khousler/2025/10/13/

I want to like this post but I can't so instead I'll simply say

"HELL" YEA!

Now if only left wing Americans would actually fight back instead of just complaining on the internet.

We are. We're organizing. We are protesting. We are vocal locally. We are vocal with families. We are fighting a trillion dollar propaganda machine and 30% of the country who hate anyone not white christian cis male. You just aren't hearing those stories in mainstream media. Quit complaining on the internet yourself and pitch in if you can. Stop with the negativity based on your ignorant preconceived notions at the very least.
- be aware that if you are in attendance then your face is showing up in multiple security camera feeds, news photos, not to mention who tf knows how many people's insta posts. all of this recorded info is de facto property of trump's FBI/NSA/DHS/etc. so the nazis are actively attaching names to every face at every protest.
  cover your face. leave the phone at home--or at least get a faraday bag. don't assume it's not still communicating with cell towers (thus giving your location) even if it's "turned off"
holds up a mirror
- I'm not American.
Quoth the person complaining on the internet.
