Tina Smith is an idiot who skipped all the work and deep thought of understanding justice and went straight for the emotional public forgiveness performance. It has nothing to do with Christianity and everything to do with feeling good about herself.

So now a Christian who forgives others is "an Idiot?". How do you know what is in her heart and whether she had any thoughts about how she herself felt? Perhaps she simply did what Jesus did when confronted by a guilty sinner (even the ones who crucified him). He asked his father that they be forgiven. The justice was left to God -- not you.

Her surprise speech and performance was inappropriate for the time and place. It was nonsense, detached from reality.
The murderers are still making excuses (we didn't think it would get this serious) and have yet to reach a moment of guilt and repentance.
Of course they are "sorry" and apologetic in court. They have lawyers and a lenient judge. That's what they are supposed to do as defendants.
Tina Smith, as a supposedly injured party, was supposed to Demand Justice in the name of her "awesome" nephew - and justice was not served. She should have been Furious. Some righteous anger would have been appropriate and not contrary to Christianity.
