A sign at a Halloween event in New York City over the weekend is raising eyebrows as it stated "Charlie Kirk neck massages," mocking the civil-rights leader assassinated by a bullet to the neck in Utah in September.

"DISGUSTING!" exclaimed political commentator Gunther Eagleman on X. "If you haven't realized just what we're up against yet, you'll never see it. Truly dark and disturbing stuff."

Others reacted with positive and negative comments, including:

"This isn't 'Halloween fun,' it's a full-blown character assassination dressed up as a joke. They mock, they smear, they normalize attacks on anyone who disagrees with them. This is exactly what we're up against, and the left doesn't play fair."

"The demons are running rampant in our world because they know that the time is coming to end them. It's terrifying to think this is just the beginning. We Christians must stay strong and pray without ceasing. God will win, He always does."

"While it might be disgusting to you and I, it may be humorous for others. If we did not have this technology, most would not know this sh** is happening. We must take the good with the bad to enjoy freedom of expression and free speech. Get rid of smart phones, period!"

"Proof that the rot of normalized violence is seeping into plain sight. This is cultural poison, and if we keep letting it slide as 'just politics,' we're sleepwalking into darker days."

"Dark and disturbing? More like standard halloween protest theater in NYC. It's designed to trigger, not to be taken literally as a threat."

"LMAO not 'dark and disturbing,' it's literally New York being New York, chill out. Conservatives act like sarcasm is witchcraft, bro it's Halloween not a cult."
