“Charlie wanted passionately to reach and save the lost boys in the West. The young men who feel they have no direction, no purpose, no faith and no reason to live. The men are wasting their lives on distractions and men consumer with resentment, anger and hate,” she said. “Charlie would help them. He wanted them to have a home with Turning Point USA. And when he went on to campus, he was looking to show them a better path and a better life. It was right there to take. He would show them it.
“My husband, Charlie. He wanted to save. Young men, like the one who took his life. The young man. The young man on the cross. Our Savior said it. Dad. Forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing,” she continued. “You, that man. The young man. I forgive him. I access him because that was what Christ did. And that’s what Charlie would do. The answer to hatred is not hatred. The answer we know from the gospel is love and always love. Love for our enemies and love for those who pursue us.”
