I don't think it's easy at all to forgive someone who hurts you. I think it's extremely hard and don't really know if I could personally do it.
I don't think the dad did, I think he's just speaking the words he either thinks he should, or was told to.
As I said in my other comment, I agree that forgiveness is good. I don't think what's going on here is good though. It was hours later; you don't come out and forgive, and then run defense for the killer, unless there's something really wrong going on. In my opinion.
I understand the anger and doubt with the father's reaction. I have it as well. I'm mad about it, but it is his son and I remind myself I'm not carrying that grief. I just wanted to say I find your reactions seem sincere and less bombastic. So many people here are just stroking their fake hate boner ro feel important.
Yes, I don't begrudge a guy making a personal choice to find peace in his life after his son was killed.
I'm angry that you would attack a hard decision from someone suffering so you can stroke your ego playing internet tough guy.

Are you even a Christian, I noticed you didn't answer that?

Same here but I’d like to believe I would be able to forgive
