Well, in my view forgiveness without a reduction in consequences is essentially meaningless. But I also doubt that the girl has reached any real decision on such and just knows that is what she is supposed to say. She is probably mirroring what adults around her have said or coached her to say.
GC: In that situation where the guy fired the gun without intention of hurting anybody but just in stupidity. Yes, I suppose I could forgive him. Though I'd still want him held responsible so I'm not sure what value such forgiveness would have.
