DML, I believe that Mr. Robinson wrestled with his decision. He knew it was wrong for his son to commit suicide. He chose the Christian way of by turning his son in to face the consequences of his EVIL murder of a Richeous person.
DML…….that was beautifully written & it pulls my heart in different directions…..two families torn apart………& a truly beloved man snatched away from all of us…..the grief is so heavy…… Dear God please help us all….🙏🏽
I had some of the same thoughts. I imagine when Mr Robinson realized the assassin was his son that his heart absolutely shattered. He did the right thing but now he has to put the pieces of his world somewhat back together. It will be a daunting task. It’s amazing to me how one act of hatred has so many devastating ripples across the world. Charlie understood that each act of kindness or goodness can have the same rippling effect.
DML, I agree with you 100% and kudos to Mr. Robinson for turning in his son! I hope Mr. Robinson gets the $100k from the FBI. Rest in Peace 🙏🏻 Charlie. I feel so sad for Charlie, Erika and their two little babies who will not grow up with their father, but Charlie is here with them in spirit. Our country has lost big on 9/10. I have faith in Erika that she will continue Charlie’s legacy and make Turning Point USA bigger and betterthan ever.
I have some of the same feelings regarding the Father, you never hear of a Father turning in his son. I could be way off base here but I’ve been thinking all day after it was said the Kirk’s would be involved in what happens to Tyler that Erika may not agree to a death penalty. I feel this way based on her strong faith. Time will tell. My heart is broken.
The blame goes on social media brainwashing and college campuses from old hippie beliefs PROFESSORS PUCKING OUT that america is bad and did wrong. STOP THE DEI ANTIFA BLM AND I AM RESPOSIBLE FOR SLAVERY BS. Save the greatest country in the world AMERICA USA.
My wife and I were driving on a long road trip when she was on her phone and said to me Charlie Kirk has been shot and witnesses said it doesn’t look good, so we Prayed for his life and for the Doctors treating him. When the news broke that he died, we both wept while we were driving to our destination. I haven’t felt this much sadness for a long time. I followed Charlie’s news cast and videos.
I wanted to get back at the left and the corrupt media for their lies about his great work but that would only make me like them . I will pray for both families.
I didn’t know Charlie personally either. But videos of him at colleges showed me a lot. I listened to how he interacted with people, even those who didn’t agree with him. He wasn’t hateful at all. Despite being called every name in the book.At times having things thrown at him. I was watching the Q&A when Charlie was shot. The image is stuck in my mind. I cry and yes I’m angry. But I keep thinking if Charlie had lived ,he would of forgiven the shooter. My heart is broken for Erika and the children. To what you said about Mr. Robinson, the father of the shooter,. I would say I would be conflicted to have him in front of me. He did the right thing. But I also know as a mother, it would shatter me to have to do that to my son. I would be asking myself how did I not know, and how did i fail as a parent. Which is more than likely what Mr. Robinson is asking himself. I not mad at Tyler’s father, he didn’t do this. I blame Tyler himself ,as much as I blame the indoctrination camps aka colleges, fake news media, and rabid leftist democrats propaganda.
Dml, I keep thinking, my son is only 4 years younger than Charlie was. I guess that is why losing him hurts so badly. To all of us he was our son, our friend, our brother..etc. God says to be a light, to be the salt of the earth. To love, to forgive, to have faith. Charlie was that messenger, that light. Not like Jesus, but chosen for a mission. And we all must step up where Charlie left off, and continue the mission. That’s what I believe.
I do apologize for the long book, had a lot to say. As for the shooter Tyler i want him held accountable legally. . No life sentence, but execution. Jesus says forgive, but how, I don’t know. The best i can do is keep praying.
Perfectly written with heart and soul understanding how much love we have for our children family is everything and we rely on God everyday for everything.
When I first read the news that it was his own father that turned the son in, who killed Charlie, all those thoughts ou mentioned crossed my mind too, DML. His own son committed this heinous crime. But the father did the right thing.
My heart feels heavy and grief is still raw. Charlie Kirk can’t be forgotten and can’t be silenced. Now is the turning point to continue his truth, his conviction, his resolve, his determination, his strength and his strong faith.
We are not going to be silent or silenced anymore.
DML, your op-ed is eloquent and captures the thoughts and feelings of millions who loved, learned from Charlie and admired his courage and how he perfected the art of dialogue. I accidentally was exposed to the shocking angle of video that showed his actual injury and exsanguination and I it made In inescapable impression on my soul that compares with 911. Initially, my heart feels compassion for Mr Robinson’s crushing choice but I will wait to hear if there were signs that were ignored or excused away. The Charlotte Mom at least tried to get something done about her son before he killed Iryna. I want to know when and who radicalized Tyler if it happened in his University years. Prayer for the revival and reformation. 🙏🇺🇸💔
I’ve been thinking a lot about Mr Robinson as well. I have three sons myself and have been trying to put myself in Tyler’s father’s position. How heart wrenching it would to one, realize that it was your son that rocked the entire world by shooting and killing such an amazing, righteous, honorable son of God, Charlie Kirk. Then Two, having to turn your son over to the FBI, knowing that they most likely will give him the death penalty. Mr Robinson did the right thing, but how hard it must have been! May god be with Erica, her two children as well as with the Robinson family.
Hello DML. Beautifully written and so very heartfelt and insightful DML. Almost 1 AM, like it has been the past few days. I, like you, TEAM DML, and the Courageous, Christian Conservatives Everywhere; am weary and sad. However, a 🔥 that’s been simmering, is no longer…not unlike many many others. I feel just like you DML. I know that Father God will turn this “for good,” as He always does. Was this His plan all along? Charlie completed his mission, and I dare say that 🔥s have ignited, relit, or grew stronger since this horrific tragedy! ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!!! God bless you, Miss Mary, your family and the wonderful TEAM DML. God bless The Kirk Family, America, and All that love both.😥❤️🇺🇸

I too thought of this man and the terrible decision he had to make as a parent. His family needs prayers too.

DML,I agree with you 100 %. It is so gut reaching for me to think this would happen at all. And I too feel for this kids parents.

That was beautiful and fully of compassion. I never thought of what mr Robinson might be going through.
I come unglued every time I see pictures or videos of Charlie and am unable to fully process his death. Its too surreal
