Charlie Kirks wife forgives the killer

891 replies

To people who said her husband was hateful and what they preached was hateful, she just forgave the killer, as God would. Powerful speech.

The messed up young man who thought shooting man he didn't like was the answer, will go to prison and no longer be with his boyfriend. Erika Kirk no longer has her husband and her children have list their father.

Who are ‘they’? Why are you hell bent on labelling and pigeon holing people into ‘right’ and ‘left’? The only person gagging for attention and making bizarre unfounded statements is you.

You sound utterly deranged. Time to get off the internet and into the real world.

Aren’t the left the ones that are hell bent on pigeon holing and abuse.
Ah you are projecting, with yourself, looking for attention and making bizarre unfounded statements.I hardly post ….you actually do seem to be the one looking for attention.
Sweetie I am out in the real world, sitting in hospital waiting for an x ray.
It might help if you speak to your doctor about your derangement.

I cannot begin to imagine what she is going through.

I do think that forgiveness can be very powerful for the forgiver and is generally something that only truly comes after processing a lot of other emotions and feelings. It has been 12 days since Charlie was killed. Perhaps she is a speedy processor, or perhaps she doesn't know which way is up at the moment. I hope that she heals well, whatever her timeframe is.

Wow. Name-calling. I haven't called you any names. Yet you're the one who accused me of defending school shooters. And I'm the lunatic? lol So you don't condemn them? Or you do? Do you understand what the word condemn means?

Surely the point the poster was making is that anything his wife does, good, bad or indifferent, does not posthumously alter what her husband did.

So the premise of "for those of you who said x about him, his wife doing Y proves you wrong" is fundamentally flawed as the two are not linked.

Someone could logically say he was hateful and preached hate and be correct from a logical consistency POV and his wife could be the ultimate example of b forgiveness. One does not preclude the other.

So the issue is with your setup of "her forgiveness proves you wrong" rather than people arguing that she can't be forgiving

This, exactly.

I imagine many would be very angry, seeking revenge etc.

Show quote history

I'm not sure about that. How would anger and revenge make anything better? It certainly wouldn't bring the dead person back. He's gone - and his widow needs to be able to live the rest of her life without being consumed by hatred and anger and a desire for retribution. She's done the right thing for herself and her children. Forgiveness extinguishes the hate.

bevm72yellow · 22/09/2025 18:57

It is just words that she said. " Forgiveness " is active not just the usual lip service. I have met somebody from similar background following murder of his parent for political reasons. Once I got to know his family they were far from forgiving ( but outwardly claimed Forgiveness). Nothing wrong with saying "I am angry, hurt destroyed and numb" then acceptance can maybe come later.

If you're not up to date maybe get the smear and watch the videos afterwards so that you'll at least know who and what you're talking about

One would think a certain unhinged poster would learn and stop posting their extreme vile psychotic hatred.... Their posts never stand. I wonder why. It might be helpful to reflect and learn not to be so combative and spiteful.

For everyone saying Charlie Kirk was hateful, who do you think he hated? And could you give examples of where he said he hated anyone?

Calmomiletea · 22/09/2025 00:05

How many videos of Charlie's did you ever watch? The only way someone could equate what Charlie said as hateful is if they simply didn't agree with what he said. Such people confuse telling the truth with hate, which is actually the opposite of what it is: telling the truth when people will hate you for it is actually love. That's what CK sacrificed himself for, so that people like you who would hate him could hear the truth.

Face the truth.

Yeah, because it's so 'hateful' to point at that at no time did I defend school shooters. And if that other poster isn't careful they'll be banned permanently. Stalking me and harassing me onto this thread to spew hate is not accepted on this site.

Yes to this.
