Crying uncle of dead Uvalde child shows STUNNING level of grace when CNN baits him on gun control

May 29, 2022 | | Print Article

The uncle of Uvalde mass shooting victim Ellie Garcia, 9, stunned the world Sunday by admitting at the tail end of an interview that he’s already forgiven mass shooter Salvador Ramos.

Garcia’s uncle, Adrian Alonzo, made the admission after CNN’s Dana Bash asked him what sounded like a baited question.

“What would you like to see happen so that another Ellie is not gunned down in school or anywhere else?” she asked.

Critics suspect she was hoping to trigger a gun control rant from him. But that’s certainly not what happened.

Watch the full back-and-forth exchange, including the part before the admission, below:

“Change. I know we say that there needs to be change, and we can …,” Alonzo began replying before suddenly changing course.

“As a Christian, I’m not here to blame anyone. I don’t want to point the finger at anyone. Yes, he was the one that pulled the trigger. But I forgive him,” he continued, prompting shock from Bash.

“Wow! Already. We’re just days away. You haven’t even buried your niece, and you forgive him already?” the CNN reporter asked in confusion.

Alonzo responded by citing the Bible.

“The Bible says in Ephesians 4 that we must forgive one another just as God has forgiven you. And I hold no hatred towards him. I hold no hatred towards the law enforcement.  Yes, there were maybe some errors that were made,” he said.

“I am filled with anger, but I feel no hatred towards him. We were thankful to have Ellie for the nine years of her life with us. We will never forget her. She will always be a part of this family, even in her death.”

Earlier during the interview, Alonzo, whose son thankfully survived the Uvalde mass shooting, described how he’d learned about his niece’s death.

He said that when he arrived at Robb Elementary School, he saw his son coming outside. That moment left him overjoyed.

“I can’t explain the joy I had when I saw my son walk out of those doors, and I finally had him. But as a parent, I wanted to squeeze him right there, but I wanted to get him out because I didn’t want him to see all that,” he recalled.

But that joy quickly dissipated after he discovered that his niece was missing. Desperate for answers, he began asking school officials about her possible whereabouts.

“The school officials told me that there’s no more children here — they’ve all been picked up. ‘Do you have a list? Do you have a list of the students that were here?’ That school official, I could see it in her eyes and her eyes became glassy and teary, and she said, ‘Sir, they’ll make a statement soon,'” he recalled.

Alonzo then returned home with his son and later saw on social media that his niece’s teacher, Eva Mireles, had been killed in the mass shooting.

“I knew that something was wrong. I saw a Facebook post being shared around, and it was a whiteboard of all the teachers’ names who were in the civic center. And Ellie’s teachers were not one of them. So that’s when they announced the first victim, Eva Mireles. They announced her. She was Ellie’s teacher,” he said, growing emotional.

“And in my mind, I tried to stay optimistic, but the reality of it was sinking in at that time. More victims were being published, children, and they were in her class. And it wasn’t until my wife told me that they were taking DNA swabs from all the parents, and I instantly knew she [Garcia] was gone. Why else would they need DNA swabs to find a missing child? And sure enough, about an hour later, my wife called me and said they found her, she didn’t make it.”

Garcia was one of 19 children who were murdered during the Uvalde mass shooting at Robb Elementary School last Tuesday in Texas. Two teachers, including Mireles, were also murdered.

The mass shooting triggered another loud outcry for gun control from the left. It also triggered anger against the Uvalde Police Department (UPD), who it was found could have stopped the attack far sooner but instead chose to wait outside the classroom inside which Ramos had barricaded himself.

The attack didn’t end until a fed-up U.S. Border Patrol unit stormed the classroom in defiance of the UPD and killed Ramos. But by then, he’d already killed almost everybody in the classroom.

  1. Something not quite right. Not long afterwards media PUSHING for removal of citizens right to defend, and 46 comes out with a speech before all victims are removed?

  2. CNN trying to bait someone, I can’t believe it!

    Of course, they are a group of master-baiters.

  3. Google pay 97$ per hour my last pay check was $8500 working 1o hours a week online. My younger brother friend has been averaging 12k for months now and he works about 22 hours a week. I cant believe how easy it was once I tried it outit..
    :) AND GOOD LUCK.:)

  4. Mr Alonzo and his family are a beautiful example of what it is to know God and to lean on him in times of pain and sorrow. We are not promised tomorrow and we know not what today or tomorrow will bring. We know there are evil hearts out there and we want to protect our friends, families and even strangers when we are able. We have tragedies that happen often, some it is one person at a time. For each person it is different, we go thru the emotions and should be prayful for all persons harmed by violence and sickness. Mr Alonzo demonstrated well and knows and finds comfort knowing Ellie is in the arms of our Lord and savior. Her video is one of the most humbling and loving videos that any parent would be so overwhelmed with joy to receive from their child. In her video alone, she understood he had to work and expressed her love for him and she would be there for him. Ellie’s video was and is a Godsend. Closeness to God and family rules over evil.

  5. Gun Control is nothing more than the Government trying to disarm it’s populace so they can take away rights without resistence.

  6. Gun control remind me of covid vaccine, it doesn’t work yet they can’t stop forcing the vaccine on everyone. These pimps work for the drug company.
    It doubtful that criminals give rat’s a** about the laws.

  7. Just remember it took gun in the hand of a good person to stop the shooter!!!
    Gun control is picking low fruit, that doesn’t solve the problem of mental health.

  8. All those sniveling, and those in DC promising, “common sense” gun control are BSing themselves and everybody else. There has never been an iota of common sense seen in any of these mass shootings or even in black on black crime in the likes of ChIraq. Gun laws don’t do anything but prevent honest, law abiding citizens from protecting themselves and criminalizing them.

  9. All these SPAM posts are terrible, they were gone for a few days, and now they are back in full. They are starting to overrun the comments!

    This site needs to do something about this. How about an algorithm that censors SPAM and not comments?

  10. Yes, the following is ultimately just more internet speculation, but I am also simply asking how would things have been so very different if the following suggestion were TRUE: Do a DuckDuckGo search for “Operation Fast and Furious” to, if necessary, refresh your memory on how a heavily politicized ATF purposely allowed thousands of firearms to be illegally “walked” into Mexico, thus purposely allowing for untold drug cartel violence and death to occur with them, just so they could USE the “discovery” of so many U.S. made firearms at crime scenes in Mexico, to push for wildly unconstitutional guns bans and restrictions on all the types of firearms as would be most suitable for our 2nd Amendment militia purposes here in America. (Just think “militia weapon” whenever the left and their media says “assault weapon”, and the truth of what they are really trying to do will shine through. I.E. – If you are an adult American citizen, YOU ARE THE MILITIA.)

    So, just for the record, it has been solidly established (Operation Fast and Furious) that our government allowed for violent civilian deaths to occur in Mexico with U.S. made firearms, just so they could use the resulting violent crime reporting on it for propaganda purposes – to push for wildly unconstitutional anti-gun laws and bans – here at home. Let that sink in for a moment and by all means, do your own research if this is news to you.

    So, the question left to ponder here and now is, would the same people who callously allowed for death and violence to happen in Mexico for political gain here, purposely allow for death & violence to happen here for political gain too? I.E. – Would the higher ups who commanded the police in Uvalde, Texas, to WAIT and WAIT and WAIT, simply do so in order to ensure as high of a body count as possible? After all, the higher the body count, the greater the outrage and anger that media can generate, the favored tools of the left whenever they are pushing for ever yet more wildly unconstitutional law. Using raw emotion to overrule logic and the rule of law is the signature technique of the socialist left as they relentlessly seek to dismantle our republic. Simply saying “Do something!” without any specifics always equates to negating the U.S Constitution in some manner, and so here we go again. At least this theory explains WHY law enforcement seemingly purposely wasted all that time and let so many die…. they were ordered to wait. Somebody ordered that. Who?

    Just some speculative food for thought. YMMV, and widely.

  11. The death of each child is so sickening that it is difficult to look at their picture without being overcome with sadness and emotion. It is also difficult to read about anyone affiliated with this tragedy who may have contributed or could have reacted with some common sense , but didn’t. i.e police, the teacher opening the door, or not locking the door, etc. The police had guns and bullet proof vests. The little children had nothing!

  12. Every time I see on T V or read somewhere this piece of sheet shoved a mick or some other item (TV camera) in some ones face to ask a really stupid question knowing the person is in deep pain but pay no mind because their reason for being there is to record shock and pain while some other DUMB ASS in the studio can falsely show pain while thinking GEE can I win a reward from this? could be wrong but don’t think so.

  13. Interviews like this bother me on one level, because I know that the interviewer has an agenda almost always. This uncle was more forgiving than I could be I’m afraid. We can only wish all of these families well in their futures, although I’m sure they will always carry their grief with them to a great degree.

    1. I think it would take me a while to forgive the shooter, too, if any of my family died in that event. And I’m also sure I’d let that other person have it for trying to use me to get something so tyrannical as gun-control through Congress against the popular will. That would be a good reaction from him.

  15. This is why everyone who’s not clinically insane (I’m including the suicidal) should learn how to use a gun. How many mass-shooters go and attack places where they know they’ll get taken down almost as soon as they start?

  16. Another mass shooting in a gun free zone. The gun free zones need to be abolished by congress

  17. Great example of msm, they just want to stir the pot/agenda of hate instead of just reporting the news.

  18. All the gun control laws the world can create will never stop mass shootings. Stop blaming the gun and blame the society that breeds malcontents with homicidal tendencies.

  19. And we must not forget that a gun ended the situation and would have much earlier had the police had balls and entered as the border patrol did against the police recommendations… Thank goodness for them. And a gun did control the situation!

    1. One true policeman in the bunch of quivering cowards. The man taking out this shooter is the only true lawman in the bunch.
