1st thread is full - this is to continue the convo. My original question is below:

’Kirk’s killer has apparently been turned in by his family - or persuaded to hand himself in.
Trump &’his supporters have been very vocal about getting the death penalty for the shooter.
would YOU hand your child over, knowing that the electric chair would be the likely outcome?

YANBU - I wouldn’t turn him in to die.
YABU - I would he’s a killer and deserves all he gets

Oh! My! Life! So a grieving widow is now being criticised and vilified because she is not grieving 'right'.

The hate on display for a murdered Christian man and his grieving Christian wife is beyond words. But then, his Lord and Saviour, Christ Jesus was also hated and killed for standing for Truth, so there is nothing new here, I guess.

His parent … Gun-Toting, Plastic “Christian”, Republicans … probably big fans of the Death Penalty.

How long until they tell us that their Son has been possessed by Demons or The Devil, due to LGBT people existing?

‘as for Charlie Kirk’s wife she is in shock,’

she didn’t write that speech off the top of her head, some MAGA speechwriters did that for her.
There’s a brand to protect, don’t forget, a cash cow that all the people working on want to make sure it keeps going.

As more come out about the family it seems like they were Republican, traditionalist, churchgoing, gun toting etc so perhaps more inclined for turn the kid over to the authorities anyways.

i do not think it’s as simple as the family had a straight forward choice

he was the most wanted man in the us everyone was looking for him and they are faced with the question will he be safer in custody or others getting hold of him

as for Charlie Kirk’s wife she is in shock, she has young children to think of while she may want her husband’s legacy to continue I think she is being manipulated by those around her the same as other high profile politicians wives who’s husbands have been murdered, the public have an expectation of what they should do and the pressure will be immense

I can’t criticise her what ever she does she will face criticism and really what she needs is support for herself and her children
