Nick Shirley reveals why he hired security
According to Shirley, the environment has affected his daily life and personal safety. He further detailed how he now moves around and interacts with others in public spaces as threats against him become more frequent.
“I have to have security around me now because people are openly saying they want to kill me too,” Shirley commented. “It’s not fun. I don’t enjoy it. Like not being able to go out or feel like you can go out and do things is not the most fun thing in the world.”
Nick Shirley calls on Americans to banish fear
Citing political protests and the immigration debate, he argued that some people lack what he calls basic reasoning skills. “You ask them, ‘Oh, you’re angry that they’re deporting illegal immigrants? What does the word illegal mean?’ It breaks their whole logic,” Shirley said.
He encourages young Americans to eliminate their fears and express themselves openly when they feel they are searching for the truth. “You shouldn’t be afraid to express your opinion when you know you’re at least seeking the truth,” Shirley said.
