Father Forgives Son's Killer

[loner1878]

Forgiveness = doing nothing but pretending you have. Honestly, its nothing but a self serving concept. I see all these reports of people "forgiving" criminals who hurt them, but do any of these people want the criminals released from prison with no punishment? lol, never.

[dhongo91]

We need to see the reason WHY he forgave him:

1:25 "14-year old gangmember was a victim of society"

and the fact that he had no father. so Azim took that responsibility, as a father, to forgive.

4:22 says he "looked into another soul much like me, much like you."

we are all the same. we make mistakes, but we all need to forgive.

“if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head" (Romans 12:20)

@SL8R71 U WORTHLESS PIECE O SHYTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTT U WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHYTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTT

[lynnesoraya]

I love this story! I find it so inspiring!

[Chastrie]

The world still has hope when there are people like this in it.

[shadowofears]

How can he forgive his son Killer unless the killer feels sorry for his doing but still donot go unpunished

[LordKaisen]

the man won.

[sairaj1]

Wow, if this father can forgive his son's killer then i can forgive someone too. because if u do not forgive-just like this man has said you are unable to climb out of bed. i have to and can climb out of that bed but i know how hard it can get. telling other people never helps but forgiving does because that is when the nightmares, the depression and crying spells finally come to an end. it is something only YOU can overcome and no one can do it for you. i think it will take a while.

[cheercrosscountry]

dont forgive get even

[devastar66]

you are Gods angel....Thank You

[tigresssharplesl]

not trying to go into a religious conflict. i dont believe in anything but i have to say.... this man..... he has my respect... it takes a lot to forgive the killer of ones family... may his son rest in peace

[crystalroy]

he is a very wise man

[TongueSnap]

Really takes a real man to forgive a killer

[dahiden1]

@bullschiff  Would it be any different if the son was black and the killer was white...which also happens in society? Raise your consciousness, and see beyond the skin / melanin pigment of a person. See people on a soul level. Be come more enlightened. Peace!

[boyofwits]

this guy is powerful... no joke..

[yomama629]

This guy ripped off all his shit from the Dalai Lama lol

[Bobbo825]

This is the love that changes lives. This is the love of Christ. What a reminder of how even a person like me is forgiven every day. I am no better than that kid with the gun...

[thisissparta51]

@bullschiff Im african american would you like to say anymore racist words?

[JetsetRM]

@thisissparta51

Oh lordy. It's situations like this that make me think "racism is a crime. And crime is for niggers."

[thisissparta51]

@JetsetRM I get it, by nigger you mean ignorant african americans

[kankouro82]

@thisissparta51 isnt that implied nowadays?

[JetsetRM]

@thisissparta51

No, crime is just for niggers.

[thisissparta51]

@JetsetRM whatever, i just hope god has mercy on your hateful soul.

[JetsetRM]

@thisissparta51

God?

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

Have fun believing your fairy tale book. Whenever I go to a book store, I move the bibles to the fiction section.

[thisissparta51]

@JetsetRM u actually have money for books?

[JetsetRM]

@thisissparta51

Of course.

I don't waste all my money at church "donating".

[thisissparta51]

@JetsetRM i was suprised that your ignorant white ass could find a job let alone a book

[JetsetRM]

@thisissparta51

I'm surprised you can afford an internet plan on those welfare checks of yours.

[thisissparta51]

@JetsetRM you may be racist but ur funny!

[TDP788]

this is what im talking about...hope for humanity

[PeacefulParadox]

4:13 WTF... he even took a picture with the killer and they're all smiling

[arndtannad]

So many people could learn from him. What a beautiful guy.

[MultiLuner]

HELL NO fuck that i would have killed that gangbanger rite there in the court room but he is a good father to forgive that dumbass

[mesahusa]

hes not a great man. he just planned out the kill

[Rassamdul]

I would have been filled with hate and revenge lust... He is a great man indeed

[Raptor00106]

Another black kid...

[MiriamMarcus2000]

@Raptor00106 racist



[MsSexyazzchick]

wow, he must be a really good person, I would be out for revenge forever toward someone who murdered my child!!

[dahiden1]

@MsSexyazzchick Revenge would be the easiest and lowest frequency response, but forgiveness takes a higher more evolve level of consciousness. What if God responded to the situation like you....we would all be indebted to God forever. I encourage you to revisit the video and listen carefully to the reason why he forgives his son's killer.

[thecoconutman123]

wow there's almost no way i could forgive someone like that but wow just wow what an awesome guy

[Sethmyrrh]

Wow, true honor. This man has some serious heart.

[ggjoe723]

I would never be able to do that that is truley amazing.

[WoodenHeart]

I'm not sure I'd ever be able to forgive a person killing my son someday. i dont even have a son yet, the thought of another person taking his life pisses me off

[ElaaaDmutant]

Incredible !! one of the few people in the world which the world dont wanna miss !!

[skillguitar]

I'm glad these people still exist..

[Pimpinatatl]

what an amazing man.

[zeeshawn15]

Ignorant call Muslims, call us terrorist, I am sure this man is not one. And neither are we

[PokemonPwnsAll]

It is like a line in Avatar: The Last Airbender:

It is easy to want revenge but hard to forgive.

[LUVJONZ99]

I feel like I do this constantly in many situations and people take your kindness for weakness...........

[PrettyGirlSwagg102]

Wow...

[girluwant12]

thats so sad but society did do this to the gang member and im sure he didn't know but how could you live with killing someone so inicint

[ReddFoxx1562]

@girluwant12

how could you live with killing English?

[jm3083]

I almost cried his actions are so powerfil

[HoiAaron]

really sad

[nwbxvcmqlskdjfhg]

This is really touching. I think it's really great that he was able to forgive the man that killed his son, that changed his life forever. It show that he doesn't especially blame the boy, but the world that the boy grew up in. I hope that this video might encourage people to make the right choices.

[iceprincessfm]

there are people like this in the world?

[dabidosan]

Oh they're around. Take for instance Charles Roberts who killed 6 Amish School Girls before shooting himself. Within HOURS of the killings the Pennsylvania Amish community went to the family of shooter to comfort them. In addition the Amish raised money for his burial and a charity in his name. Not to mention attending his funeral. Funny plenty of people don't mind bad mouthing religious organizations, but seldom mention the good that comes out of them.

[nwbxvcmqlskdjfhg]

Yes, another story like this was with the monks at Taizé France. Their 'leader' was stabbed in the throat by a man and their first act was to forgive him.

[sairaj1]

but this is so interesting because God always has a bigger plan for people. the guy's son died and then he started his own foundationg. wow! forgiving someone is overcoming your own demon but so hard to do. :)

[VOODOOxw]

That man is SO amazing.

[Bradicle7]

if the haters had only heard what i have heard today.. when this Tony was 8 he saw the aftermath of his 16 yr being murdered due to gang violence and left home to join a gang himself. He was under the influence of an 18 yr old gang leader who told him to shoot the guy, unfortunately he didnt an ideal upbringing but being forgiven and doing what time he hes already done has definitely changed him already

[Tigerpuffer]

that father is a saint...

[padmagrrl]

that was really wonderful. he's got such good energy. i want to be like that. 'who wants to waste precious real estate of our minds.....' awesome!

[kelb89]

wow, what a kind man

[Spyhunter3391]

@kelb89 a kind man?

[SkylineTime]

goosebumps!

[brisky2009]

i no what you all think  you all think that if we all forgive the be no killing well your wrong evil all ways be here

[brisky2009]

or you could let them live but blind them and break the bk and burn them so thay suffer more alive thay have 3rd degre buns and blind and a broke back that make them suffer the basterds

[brisky2009]

[wetubemind]

awesome guy, i need to forgive like that...

[RandyWayneFricke]

It's true. Forgiveness is not always for the forgiven, it's for the forgiver too. Releasing the negative emotion of animosity, grudges and ill will takes it's toll on the health of the one holding the grudge. We're all one and we're all responsible. The answer to the question: 'Am I my brother's keeper' is YES.

[NathanTreflip]

How long is the 14 year old kid in there for? it's a shame too 14 years old and already in jail hopefully he gets out soon and doesn't hang out with the wrong gang and can change his life around to be a successful person instead of a gang member looser.

[brisky2009]

nathan you thick fuck it people like you that fuck up u,k let them out let them have a chance no if it was me in charge of u k people who kill would be gassed and people who steal woulld have the hands cut off and people who go round fighting would be chaind to a lamp post and beat with a stick because that teach them not to fuck bout i blive this kid sould be killed for that no matter what you thick cunt

[crycrycry16]

everyone has their own opinion, arguing, cursing, and yelling at each other on youtube is not making anything better

[Bradicle7]

tony is in for 25 to life at adult charges. his grandfather and the victims father came to my school today, they are extremely nice positive people. they hope to get him out early if possible.

[crycrycry16]

i wish most people in the world were like this man right here. forgiveness is the first step to world peace

[showmetheinuyasha]

Thats true but most people are to hard headed to forgive and not hold a grudge.

[Lottoya]

So touched. Amazing person with a wonderful heart.
