Charlie Kirks wife forgives the killer

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.

Oh wow. You falsely said I defended school shooters and their cheerleaders. I did not such thing. You lied. That's deranged to lie about someone like that.

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.

She’s said she won’t ask for the death penalty to be taken off the table. She could if she wanted to and I totally think she’d be listened to. But guess she does actually want revenge. Actions speak louder than words.

Show quote history

You can forgive someone and still expect justice. If justice is the death penalty then that is what it is. Forgiveness is largely for the person doing the forgiving anyway.

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

I don’t think Charlie had hateful views. I think Charlie had highly religious views in many cases, some I agreed with and views on abortion I only partially agreed with, but I respected his opinions which were anchored in his faith.

I don’t remember anything he said that could be deemed hateful to a group of people. An unwelcome truth maybe, deliberately taken out of context often, polarising for sure, but I don’t recognise hateful.

I watched the memorial last night and it was beautiful. I really enjoyed hearing from RFK; JD Vance and Trump at the end. I thought they came across as very genuine. Charlie had a lovely send off, which he deserved. Erika was very brave and I feel for her and Charlie’s children and parents.

I thought her forgiveness was inspiring. I’m not sure I could forgive someone who destroyed my life the way that Tyler Robinson destroyed her family’s. As for him, I agree that forgiveness is good for Erika, but justice should also prevail, whatever that might be.

I think she is being told what to say. I doubt she knows what to think at the moment and I wouldn't expect her to know in her current state of grief.

I don't agree with that. She seems more stronger and more conservative than Kirk. And she didn't need anyone to tell her what to say when she made that 'they have no idea of what they've unleashed' comment. She more than holds her own well.

Did you read the title. His wife talked of God and forgiveness. That's not hateful.

How is this relevant to him being hateful? His wife is a different person.

Why is it a competition? 'frothing hysteria'. Wow, nice misogynistic language. 13 year old girls have had and are having double mastectomies in the United States. And as adults, are suing the surgeons that did it. If a person isn't 'frothing' about that child abuse, they are not real living human beings.

School shootings aren't performed by doctors who take an Oath to at first, Do No Harm. So your whataboutery is desperate and ridiculous and an attempt to change the topic. But it won't work.
