Several hundred people traveled to the Boston Common from as far as New Hampshire for a vigil to honor the life of Charlie Kirk Thursday night. It was like looking at the country through two sets of eyes.

The conservative activist was shot and killed last week while speaking at a college event in Utah.

Those in attendance at the event lit candles, sang hymns and prayed. Many said they view Kirk as God-like and praise what they call his Christian values and ideas. The vigil featured speakers from young people who worked for Kirk's Turning Point USA. Many of them said Kirk allowed them to feel comfortable enough to speak out about their conservative viewpoints and beliefs.
