- CNN's Dana Bash sits down with Adrian Alonzo, the uncle of Ellie Garcia, one of the 19 children who were killed in the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting just days before her 10th birthday.
#CNN #News
“She will always be a part of this family, even in her death.”
This is a man who knows he will see her again in heaven.
@Dino Steaks
Who cares about what CNN think, want or whatever. Care about what God wants, care and expect from us.
yeah that is why there are 2764 religions in the world today too
Amén!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌
Yeah, so God let this happen? Kind of a shitty god. Thoughts and prayers along with $5.50 will get you a regular coffee at Starbucks.
@@edithrodriguez1154 I nominate you to be first in line for Abbotts state mandated mental health evaluations.
I think it’s disgusting for the media to be interviewing these families so soon after something so horrific. They haven’t even begun to process what happened.
It is but they have to have an avenue to release the pain and heal. Bottling up all that pain may hurt him more than speaking out . I can't come to grip with such a terrible incident.
yeah i bet that little town feels surrounded by hyenas and emotional grifters getting their Facebook photo ops
Of course it is is not normal the shit is bullshit these people are paid fucking actors okay crisis actors no real tears no true emotions, pay attention and listen to what they all say they all read them from a script and one of them said he forgave the shooter for killing their daughter 🤣😂, nobody's going on TV for interviews day of and the day after especially to give interviews,
I agree but if they didn’t want to they wouldn’t do the interview. don’t think they’re being forced to do these
@@olgajacobo1141 of course they getting paid to do this shit
I forgave The armed robber that shot me in the face and made me blind. Now I’m living my life as a blind person after being cited for27 years. I even started my RUclips channel to share my story of Hope and Forgiveness. Please don’t judge him for forgiving
GOD’S Word says, “Forgive as I have forgiven you.”
If you don’t forgive, then you have chosen to carry the horrible burden by yourself without GOD. Bad Choice.
@@jeannettechildress1888 True
You are right. Unforgivness brings torment. I forgive for my own sake as well as others. Because that's what our Lord Jesus Christ wants us to do.
What an incredibly beautiful soul, that man. May peace surround him and his family throughout their lives.
Yes it’s a blessing that this gunman cannot take their peace. It probably helps that the lil girl was so sweet and loved the lord and they know she is in heaven
Yes, the gunman cannot take your peace and love but we have pure evil politicians who will work hard to take your love and peace.
You could tell the guy doesn't want to be living with anger and hatred in his heart. Sending blessings to the victims RIP 🤍🙏❤️
Yeah... You're "sending" blessings? Who don't you just admit that you aren't going to do anything? Grow up.
This is why Christianity is weak

@@tonycharles3566 all abrahamic religions are really similar, anyone deep in the Torah/Bible/Quran would do the same thing
@@tonycharles3566 “it’s God’s plan, it’s all God’s plan.”
Hearing the uncle speak is so comforting. The calmness, the lack of bitterness, the recognition of God's forgiveness, the emanating of forgiveness as a human being who is being wronged is so commendable. I pray that healing will take place for the family and all families that have lost their loved ones. It will not be easy but with time I hope the pain can lessen
Reminds me of the sandy hook father that was smiling and laughing right before his scripted speech. I am NOT GOD I wouldn't be so forgiving!!!
People like you ARE the problem. Prayer does nothing, regardless of your delusions. Gun reform will.
yeah, because you believe in your made up white Jesus.
@@tonywilliamsjr.9103 what?
Thank you for watching the video,ruclips.net/video/BAEymO3JiZQ/видео.html
This little angel’s passing has impacted me so much. She looks like my 9 year old daughter and every time I see her picture, i start sobbing 💔 My condolences to her family and I pray they find the peace they need 🙏🏼❤️
She looks identical to my 7-year-old daughter, too. I have sobbed for days over Ellie. Sending you love. My condolences to the family of our precious baby girl, Ellie!!
true this precious angel passing hit so hard seeing her videos shows that she had a heart of gold my babies would have loved her being thier friend shes a star and will always be remembered rip sweet angel now you are with God we love you and your family sweet angel
She reminds me so much of my daughter, when she was her age. My baby is 16 now, and when she saw her picture, she said the same.
@@thebonitaapplebumm This still hurts me. I am so connected to her because it could be our daughters and sons. This one hurts so horrible for us and we didn’t know them personally, so the pain these families are feeling is the worst they will ever deal with. Let’s say a special prayer for Ellie tonight and the rest of these little heroes who had to bear the burden of a failed country that they were supposed to be free in to go to school and make memories and form bonds that would last a lifetime. Instead, they have all become another hashtag so let’s send all the families so much love and positive energy. Even though it will never be enough comfort for the loss of a child.
omg why do y’all idiots care about some dead kids y’all don’t even know
Just like the OG that lost his son. He said” I don’t blame that person for killing my son”. I blame the devil that walks among us. Very powerful words! This uncle is powerful and he knows he will see her again. ❤️❤️❤️ when we do see our loved ones. Their will not be a devil around us with his demons🙏🏼🙏🏼
The parents should sue the hell out of that police department
We knew it's finally here

Ist fire that no balls police chief .
The police department didn’t do the crime! What a great loving man!
@@donaa.6996 They did by refusing to do their job.
They didnt come till after a hour of students and teachers calling.. They refused to enter the building
He's a better man then me. May God bless him and his family!
What did your god do for those kids?
You ain’t lying homie…. If that mf was alive and in my control he would be burned alive the old native Americans way
Right because it couldn’t be me. Especially not this soon.
By forgiving the shooting this quick, he shows he doesn't truly care about the deaths
@@tonycharles3566 He's trying to rationalize his vote for the gun loving GOP loonies. Deep down, he knows he bears some of the responsibility.
We do need to forgive. That doesn't mean no accountability, just forgive.
IF WE FORGET ABOUT THE THINGS OF THE CREATOR YH, WE WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. SHABBAT/ TORAH ARE WHAT HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN.
@@eloishashalom1458 THE CREATOR theory is the reason loonies are given a free pass. This bs only happens in america. The world is now much safer and prosperous than at any time in human history.
It does mean no accountability. By forgiving you are condoning, and by condoning you are vicariously supporting this evil
@@tonycharles3566 uh no
@@tonycharles3566 no. You are describing "absolution". Forgiving him is for ourselves, so we don't destroy ourselves with hate. Absolution means you absolve them of their deeds. I do not absolve of responsibility, or consequences. I refuse to allow his evil to destroy me.
To all the people in the comments saying oh I wouldn't forgive him maybe not but don't judge this man who just lost his little niece for saying he forgave him. That's his choice and he should receive no judgment from outside onlookers to how he processes this horrific event. He has enough deal with already
His child lived so it's easy for him to say. But by forgiving someone you are condoning the action. And by condoning the action you are vicariously supporting the action. If it is apathy just don't care forgive, it is sociopathic. Pick your poison
Would he forgive if it were his son
There is a book about an amish community that went through a shooting that explores this same question. It is called Amish grace. It is possible though not easy by any means. It was very moving.
@@tonycharles3566 forgiving someone doesn't mean you condone the evil they have done it's choosing to not live the rest of your life with hatred for someone. When your parents forgave you for things you did in the past that didn't mean they condone your behavior that's a stupid argument
@@shevvilyn7056 I don't know maybe you should ask him
Condolences to all the mothers and fathers who lost their beloved children
Oh yeah let's pray for them cuz that surely helps
We knew it's finally here

@Storytime with Mamabear exactly uncle's are our fun the day are not mothers and fathers
@Storytime with Mamabear but what will hating him do? its true, he is dead, and forgiving him wont do anything for him either. but it will for you, as it will relieve all of the stress in your life. hate will only make your life more stressful.
Thank you sir!
Man I couldn't imagine the anger I would have if something like this happened.
Apparently this dude ain't too worried about it.
This happened. Be angry.
Nah I'm pissed for them for sure I just would be wayyy more if it was my family. I don't even want my nieces and nephew in school at this point
He's forgiving even in his pain.
Yes you would be angry and rightly so, but then after the disbelief, shock, fear, anger and hatred and deep grief, come a form of acceptance and a will to go on. Forgiving is the HARDEST thing we humans can do...especially when it involves children, but I believe if one doesn't let it go, it will cloud your life and you will become a bitter human being. You become "that guy" and you become a victim of this tragedy.
He clearly knows the joy,love of his beloved niece. I stand with him who he decides to remember and who he decides to forgive. Prayers for families and communities.
Forgiveness is key to healing. My condolences to everyone who lost a loved one that day.
ellie garciais the defintion of a coward
No it isn’t
Returning fire is
Someone kills my family I’m not praying I’m TAKING ACTION
idk what men raised you BOYS
You can heal without forgiving
Forgiving the behavior is endorsing that behavior
@@tonycharles3566 Because christians vote loony GOP, he's only getting what he voted for.
I just cried by his words, this uncle has God in his life and that’s how he is able to forgive the guy that killed his niece. May she and all of the victims RIP🙏
@@loveisthemovent you do know the suspect was an American citizen, he did not cross the border from Mexico. Immigrants can’t buy guns legally.
@@loveisthemovent oh my gosh, it’s absolutely annoying when ppl like u assume a Mexican came from Mexico or are illegal here. I’m Mexican and I was born in the US. Just because we aren’t white, doesn’t mean we’re terrorists or illegal. Plus how was your statement relevant to the person’s comment? How do you get from emotional words from the uncle and God to where you get the nerves to comment about the shooter’s race and call him illegal or that he jumped the border just because he’s Mexican?
Easy to say when is not your own child
My thoughts exactly 💯
Bless this man with so much strength 🥺❤️ Forgiveness is so powerful we should live by !
Weakness
@@tonycharles3566 We forgive u. God bless.
@@tonycharles3566 Weak, how? It takes an incredibly strong person to forgive someone who did something so horrific.
@@MsVamPireChic "no biggie killing my niece last week, things happen. I mean Jesus told me I gotta turn the other cheek and be happy my family is being buried :)"
That mentality is insanity brought about by weakness
'Sir, they'll make a statement soon.'
The time that follows directly after that message is always the most nerve wrecking and must've felt like hours.
The way he says he is filled with anger but he hold no hatred towards the shooter is unbelievable, yet incredibly powerful.
He is the only one that has explained this. And the way he could tell by the lady s face so sad
As her uncle I understand him feeling bad but he so easily can say he forgives the shooter and that, “yea he know the cops made mistakes.” He only says that because his child is alive. Im sorry, I know this interview is good but he will never feel the parents pain.
I totally agree.
So it wrong for him to move forward
@@jbone9900 oh he can move forward and feel as he wishes. However, if I was him I would not make a comment that belongs to her parents. Especially, about the cops making a mistake and he forgives the shooter, oh that she will always have a place in the family.
You don’t know how we Christians are, we don’t see our own kids just as our kids. You don’t understand until you start living how God called us to live. for you to say that, about him is from a worldly standard and it shows. Cause if you knew, the word of God you wouldn’t say what you just did. You think my own blood brothers and sisters are my family? Of course not my family are the ones who do the Will of God. Those are my brothers and sisters, I would even die for them. But I understand where you come from cause I use to think like you. But everything falls into place when you follow Christ. You want peace start spreading the Love of Jesus Christ.
There is no God.
Omg, this is breaking my heart I’m so sorry for the loss of all these beautiful babies. I have a 7 year old granddaughter and this is scaring me so much I cry every damn day. There needs to be change right now so that this never ever happens again in these schools all over the country!
If you forgive so easily their will never be justice. Someone will kill again , because they know all they have to do is a say a little prayer before they die.
Exactly.🎯
That's the way true Christian does, He's a God fearing person!!! May God bless him and his family!!!
You can literally feel her sweet spirit through the screen, she's so beautiful. Rest In peace, sweet baby.♥
It breaks my heart! Have a happy Heavenly Birthday Ellie 💔😭😭😭😭🌹🕊️
Hi
Our condolences to your family and to everyone there... our hearts broken 💔
IF WE FORGET ABOUT THE THINGS OF THE CREATOR YH, WE WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. SHABBAT/ TORAH ARE WHAT HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN.
I don't know how anyone does that, no way would I forgive someone who did that to a family member of mine, at any age.
Right! I just don’t have that forgiveness in me! I can’t forgive such a crime! He’s a big person . You took my family , a child , I could not!
Being a. Christian is the best gift to ever have in life.
It makes a whole difference.
Amen and as for me I'm a born again Christian 🙏
Amen!
Christianity is a faith base cult living in denial and blind sheep world…. I grew up in a Christian family and I studied the religion and it’s a fake religion… all you Christians might be good people full of sins,,, But living in lies and a cult will only push you further into Hells open doors.. Better get 100
Amen 🙏🏻
an even better gift would have been a gift card for abortion clinic to shooters mom 18 years ago,
Why would you forgive someone who premeditated to slaughter children? It was not an accident
Because that’s what’s called a crisis actor.
People who hate christians can't comprehend forgiveness. They would hold that hate in their heart until death and lay down their bodies in anger.
They also can't comprehend capitol punishment and forgiveness. Where you can forgive evil but also remove evil from society,
Why anyone would disagree with that when stuff like this happens is beyond me.
You would want this shooter to live? That is not real forgiveness. Because they need to know what they did was wrong, and a man on death row will be forced to concentrate on his sins.
@@billya3628 Im. just surprised they even made this story after spending weeks bashing christians as cults who want to force women to carry babies and hate LGBT folks.
But next week they;ll go back to bashing christians im sure
@@billya3628 are you saying he is one ?
Not everyone is looking for retribution. What is done is done, its time to focus on healing
How can he forgive that piece of shit??? This wasn't some accident.
The power of forgiveness! But that does not take away the pain and suffering that these families are experiencing. God bless each family for their loss!🙏🏼
Truth. Grieving is a process. Let them be themselves.
And what power would that be, Einstein? 🙄
@@TreGre1987 ask him. He's living a better life than you obviously
Unbearable suffering and pain, this type of pain does lessen but NEVER truly disappears. The parents and family are trapped in hell rn but hope and faith is what keeps these families going through their everyday w/o their children.
Shouldn’t the parents speak for themselves whether or not they utilize faith?
I don’t practice faith, I wouldn’t use it personally.
@@moonshoes11 have you lost a child? If not, I’m sure you can’t imagine what it’s like to have to speak in front of the whole world after your little one has been ripped to shreds so violently, to the point that dna has to be taken for purposes of identifying the bodies…😞😞😞
@@sher696
Why aren’t you directing that comment at the OP? You didn’t question whether that person ever lost a child.
I’m not the one speaking for those parents.
Are you triggered and trying to defend faith? What does that word even mean to you?
imagine being shot as a 8 year old kid and your uncle wont even protect you or avenge you. dude is a coward

Wow this guy just preached the gospel in the middle of his painful state. May The Lord comfort you and your family.
This guy never lost his own kid. That's why he's so flippantly forgives the Killer. That's not the mark of a moral man and why Christianity is immoral

What did your lord do for those kids?
@@tonycharles3566 It was still his neice though, and there are many who have had loved ones pass away and still forgave those who committed the act.

You don't have to forgive the sociopath who murdered all those children to deal with the pain. That was not a forgivable offense.
Yea all these people trippin
Hatred fuels anger which creates more conflict & leads to destruction of this earth. We need to learn to forgive & love each other or else this will be a never ending cycle.
@@luisa3447 What planet are you on? Forgiveness means there’s no accountability.
We don’t need to forgive. The only necessity we need is accountability! I would not and do not forgive that ass clown. I can hate him and be angered by everything he did AND continue to love and support as I am accountable for my actions. Emotions are not tied to one another they live in us interchangeably and can be managed the same!!
And to say he forgives him so soon? Like the interviewer said, his niece isn’t even buried yet. I think it’s important to allow yourself time to grieve and feel all the emotions that come with it. Disbelief, anger, sadness, etc. Give yourself time to process this tragedy. I couldn’t imagine going through something like this. Rest In Peace to all the victims. ♥️
RIP to all kids and 2 adults who lost their lives
@Paul Rent free
ruclips.net/video/GZjSuGZWNB8/видео.html
Shame on all the cops on scene who did not go into the school while the shooting was taking place. This is criminal negligence on part of law enforcement. This is merely a distraction.
@Paul does fat orange trump know?
Sadly this tragedy claimed the life of another victim. The husband of one of the slain teachers was in deep and unfathomable grief and as a result suffered a fatal heart attack. They were high school sweethearts and he was devoted to her! Many say he literally died of a broken heart! 4 devastated children now have had both of their parents ripped from their life and are now orphaned. RIP to this loving couple and prayers for their children. I cannot imagine what they are going through. ❤🙏❤🙏
“They’ll make a statement soon.” Smfh they really had no heart this entire process. They should have alerted the parents individually. They should know was in attendance in the classes and notify immediately. Really sickening.
you really cant make that call. just some school admin you can’t tell the parents of a missing child “oh your kid probably was killed”. what are they supposed to say? they dont even know the identity of the victims at the time. and they dont know who is where, or who is in the hospital. I personally could never tell a parent their child was killed. I wouldn’t be able to physically say it.
@2Juiced4Me, I’m with you. If the woman had tears in her eyes, she clearly had feelings and emotions in regards to all that had happened. She was not heartless. But she probably had no authority to convey information and at that stage it’s likely all the deaths hadn’t been confirmed. What is she going to say, “well she was probably in the classroom where a lot of kids were killed so she’s probably amongst the dead but I’m not sure yet,”? No. Of course not.
She did exactly what she was supposed to do. Imagine if she said a child was dead/alive and they weren’t.
What else are they supposed to say???
When I went to school we took attendance each day and then the attendance sheet was taken to the office. It really shouldn’t take that long to account for all the students. And if the police did their job in a timely manner they should have had the situation handled before parents even had time to make it to the scene
This is so heartbreaking to watch. I can’t even imagine the pain these families are going through. As a parent of two small children who can’t currently hug my kids because of Covid is painful that I couldn’t tuck them into bed or kiss or hug them for 3 days now but I can’t even imagine not having the opportunity or option to not have them after my isolation time is over. This truly is heartbreaking and I pray God wraps HIS arms around all these families and gives them the strength to get through these tough times.
This is a very very strong family. God bless this family man. What is this world we live in.. lord have mercy on us
ellie garcia Is he not a disgraceful and fearful coward?
What did your lord do for those kids?
@@IKKIsama14 why does God need to do anything for you?
@@Justinmi010 he doesn't need to do anything.
Just like he did nothing for the kids who died getting maimed by high velocity bullets to the point they were hardly recognize-able and needed DNA testing to identify.
It's kind of God's M.O, to do nothing ever, not sure why you're calling on his blessing.
Shocked!
It's easy for him to say because she wasn't his own daughter.
Such grace and courage in the face of total darkness. These are such good, decent people. The Gov. of Texas could learn a lot from these beautiful people of Uvalde. May you all find peace and joy once again. I'm so, so sorry. 😪💔
Should I forgive a crazy maniac who takes aways my children? Not me.! I'm sick and tired of the forgiveness bullshit. Tell the truth.!!!
Am I going to see them again in heaven? No.
How can she say, "already"? Smh he is trying to start the healing process by forgiving the shooter. Every body processes things differently.
Holding onto hatred only destroys your own soul. My Baba survived slave labour in Nazi Germany. She still talks about how she eventually forgave the Nazis too. She never had peace until that.
Forgive me, but what's a "baba"? Is it Grandma? Aunt? Great Grandma? Mother?
I know since you mentioned "Nazi" it should be Grandma or Great Grandma, but I don't know your age, so it could even be Mother or Aunt.
@@baligong3592 It is Ukrainian for grandmother
Forgivness is for our own soul to be at peace.Unforgivness will turn your own heart into poison and bitterness that is a horrible way to live.God says vengeance is mine.God says He will avenge the blood of the innocent.Woe to those who hurt one of His little ones better they have a milstone around their neck that is what His word says.

I pray to god every night and I always ask him the same thing, to please help me become a better man because I am so filled with anger and hatred towards that kid and his mom.

My deepest condolences and sympathy to the mother's and father's who lost there babies 🙏🏿🙏🏿
I lost several relatives from gun shootings
It has to come to the point i need to accept this world for what it is as there is much more cruel things happening in this world more than shootings

You can either accept our evil world, or when u go out in public be kind to others, love can change the world believe me
That's why I'm Antinatalist and thereby won't be bringing innocent kids/people into this cruel, evil and failing world. Antinatalism is the ultimate compassion.

How easily is to forgive when it isn't your child?
Just like all the others that have been interviewed, none of them lost anyone as this was all a staged false flag psyop that is ridiculously easy to prove was all staged.
I don't consider myself a Christian but this man's powerful belief in empathy, compassion, forgiveness, and living without hate should be universal.
One doesn't need to be a Christian to be forgiving, have empathy and understanding.

So true. ♥️
🌺 I'm so very sorry for the deepest loss of your sweet niece, Ellie Garcia. She sounded like a wonderful young girl! Words can't convey enough of our country's collective grief over what happened but may you and your family soon find light and laughter again in the days to come. For Ellie, who should turn 10 on June 4th! 🌺
He does not ask for banning assault weapons. He forgives to ease his own mind. I would like to understand what is admirable in this man.
The heartache Adrian and his family have over the tragic loss Eliana must be so deep yet he, filled with Christ's love, forgives the shooter. So amazing! My heart goes out so much to this family and all the others who lost someone in this shooting!
I command this man for trying to live a life not filled with anger and hatred, but I think -- as a show of respect to the parents and immediate guardians of those children -- others should hold back expressing their forgiveness publicly until the victims parents had some time to process this horrific event.
I totally agree.
I agree it’s tasteless
He’s the uncle ! I’m sure the mother and father do not forgive that evil pos. Christians I’m sorry are brain washed they hold that anger deep . Just say you hate him and that’s it .
agreed very tasteless and disrespectful

For him to forgive… boy have I got a lot to learn. What a beautiful man. What a beautiful soul. Unimaginable!
Greg if it was your child would you have forgiven so easily?
That was very powerful to find space to forgive in the midst of such evil tragedy. 😢🙏🏻
Forgiveness and love will be the only thing that will bring us back together. We are all brothers and sisters of the human race. Can we stop seeing our differences and start seeing all the things that make us the same? Pain, love, sadness, joy, etc? God bless anyone reading this. Please let’s come together and stop fighting. 🙏❤️
Instead of asking the uncle why don’t you ask the mom or dad and see if you get the same response. SMH
Unlike this christian clown, the parents are probably grieving. Unlike him, their kid was killed.
May the parents of the victims find solace and the children peace.
So sad!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😭😭My deepest condolences to her family and friends! May God be with you all during this difficult time!!🙏🏾🥀🕊️😭😭

@@joshuaweber1548 This is my full power
It'll probably take me my entire lifetime to get to being a person with this much integrity.
this man is way stronger than I could ever be. I would never be able to forgive
To those who think forgiveness is weak, look up the difference between when a victim’s family berates a murderer in a courtroom, to when they forgive them. The emotion on the murderer is palpable.
Some things can be forgiven murdering 19 children is not one of those things and if you think it is you’ve got a few screws loose in my opinion
If you so flippantly forgive someone that murders your loved ones you don't truly care for your loved ones. Forgiveness is earned and should not be handed out like candy
@@markray6113 no one has no screws loose here. Stop the false accusations
@@markray6113 when you believe there is more to this life than what we have on this Earth, everything is forgivable. Holding on to grief and anger produces terrible outcomes. Again, I understand those who are angry and feel vengeance during this time, but the power of forgiveness can take that feeling of hatred away.
So you never truly loved the ones you lost if you easily forgive monsters. It’s just a tool pushed on the less fortunate so they won’t fight back.
Makes no sense, why would they be holding their assault weapons in front of harmless people, instead of going in and killing that man!!!
Because they’re afraid. Obviously
Maybe racism honestly. I mean we see insidious disparities between the way white and people of colour are treated wherever we look. The gunman for instance was of Latin descent and he is shot. It's quite shocking when you look up how many white persons of interests/actual criminals are shot compared to those of colour. They're usually led out in handcuffs even if heavily armed.
@@ameliel8792 I totally agree with you.
The parents were getting a little mouthy and the cops needed to teach them to respect their authority before writing another ticket or confronting some gunman who for all his faults, has not violated the sanctity of police tape.
If it was he’s daughter will he forgive him that soon?? I think not!
I’m crying with him. I hate that this is our society.
What a strong beautiful Man of God. 💓Bless you and your family throughout this time of grief. Sorry for the pain you are feeling.

That’s a man of faith! I feel for you and your family dear brother in Christ. Sorry for the lost, be strong in the Lord!
What’s sad is they waited for over an hour to go in even after kids were begging 911 operators to send in help.
What a heart wrenching story and such a gracious and merciful uncle Adrian Alonzo ❤️💔❤️
I wouldn’t forgive the shooter. Those poor kids and adults. We need to stop talking about change and make it happen!!!
Forgiveness is over rated.
Forgiveness is key to healing
@@fernandocerritos7786 Its too soon for him to be healing, he should still be DEEP into the mourning process not ready to heal already
@@Jenacide Who are you to say that he isn’t mourning right now?
@@Jenacide Ok Jena. The therapists who diagnoses people in the comment section. LOL!
Deepest condolences to all families in Uvalte...from Vancouver Island Canada
What a cowardly uncle you are ellie garcia
I have a 9 Year old son, and I'm truly sorry for your lost. Praying for all the families who lost there babygirl or son. 🕊️
I don’t even know this man but I wish I was half the man he is. We need more men like him in this world. You can feel the calmness in his voice, the love of the lord in his eyes, the kindness in his heart. A true example of a Christian. Rest assured the lord has many rooms in his kingdom for people like him and his niece Ellie. 1 Cross + 3 Nails = 4Given. God bless you my friend!
Amen 🙏🏾. Sorry For Your Lost ❤️❤️ God please heal the people who lost their love ones
ellie garcia Is he not a disgraceful and fearful coward?
What did your lord do for those kids?
@@IKKIsama14 Jesus is Lord. Don't shift the blame.
@@Chile2011 You ARE the problem.
@@elmolewis9123 I'd be blessed to be hated by the world which hated Jesus first.
Easy for him to say. It wasn't his kid who was shot.
Its cause his beliefs he is christian maybe the other kids parents are not christian so its hard to firgive others who have hurt. A real christian has to forgive to those who have hurt them so their heart wont keep any hate and can have peace in their soul
What a beautiful spirited man...peace be to all.
ellie garcia is the definition of a coward.
He’s woke and dumb grow a pair of balls u can’t forgive that in what world is this ok ti just forgive any killer ?? Weak people
What a great man. There are no words to express how sorry I am for the loss of every single person of this, nonsense…all I can say is, God bless you all and be strong.
Wow! Now that is a faith filled man.. idk if I could say the same so soon. I'm sure he understands that even though his family and many others lost there precious children they are now in heaven enjoying being just kids! Where all that they feel is just peace and love. God will help those parents in mourning one day at a time.
These poor families. We’re praying for them.
I commend this man. forgiveness heals. hate destroys both the harmer and the victims.
You Are TRULY A Biblical Example Of Forgiveness.
My Prayers Are With Everyone📖🙏🏻
My God I don’t ever want to imagine! These are children. My son is 10 in 4th and the horrific way they had to go and be in there! He’s an amazing man her uncle! God does say to forgive but it would take me long
My heart felt condolences to all the parents who lost their kids
what a beautiful soul this guy has.
may his niece rest in peace.
he will see her in heaven one day.
RIP to everyone, at the end of the day she isn't coming back, unfortunately, so staying angry would do him no good, and the way he speaks of her sounds like she wouldn't want him to be angry either.
Thank god, he has faith, god bless this man & his family , & to the others as well ✝️
Powerful!
It’s the actions of people that make us frustrated, confused, and pierce our hearts of the why’s. He hit it right on point. Prayers for all there in that community and I send my deepest condolences!!
Very strong testimony, and very faithful. Truly touching that although the man ruined lives, this uncle is able to forgive him. Very touching.
I'm an atheist, but I have a lot of respect for any person who actually practices the religion they profess to believe in.
"Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore" - Albert Einstein
Thank god I'm an atheist.
Would he have forgiven the shooter if it had been his son!
What a powerful statement from this precious man. God has this child and she will see her family again in heaven.
This is a very compassionate and evolved man. With a broken heart he can still offer forgiveness. Much like the Amish did when they faced the same senseless horror. If more people, like them, could put hate and blame aside and look with clear heads for solutions maybe we can see real changes hapoen to prevent these tragedies.
So far mitigating the damage has done nothing. Prevention is a thousand times more effective than a treatment. Get the guns off the streets and identify and treat disturbed people. Gun violence and mass shootings will be drastically reduced.
Wow im so proud of you. That's the heart of a true christian who have experienced the love and forgiveness of the Lord Jesus. Prayers and healing upon all the grieving families and loved ones. Sending much love and sympathy frm the Philippines.
Amazing testimony man! Peace over you and everywhere you go, multiplied in Jesus Name!
If anyone realized that many of the caskets of these children couldn't be open due to the damage this cruel monster did to them, you wouldn't be so easy to forgive him.
I needed to hear this.
How can someone show forgiveness for that. I must be a different type of person but I could never forgive someone that does something like this to innocent children!
His kid survived so that makes it a bit easier.
