"...They're
singing a Gospel song?... and you heard from the family members ...of
those who were lost... You can see the outpouring of support for this
community; it goes all the way down the street..."
EDITOR'S NOTE: What an incredibly
powerful testimony of God's love and forgiveness the people of
Charleston are showing the world! It's obviously having a great impact
on secular media who expected the worst, and instead, found themselves
covering the message of the Gospel being lived out in front of them.
Thank you Charleston. -Aimee Herd, BCN.
(Charleston, SC)—While covering the
arraignment for Charleston shooting suspect, Dylann Roof, MSNBC reporter
Thomas Roberts suddenly choked up as he described the inspirational
scene before him at a vigil which took place at the same time.
Roberts
seemed astounded as he reported how the shooting victims' family
members had spoken one-by-one to the 21-year-old suspect, telling him
they'd forgiven him for killing their loved ones.
"Can we look over here right now? I mean,
it's kind of heartbreaking," said Roberts while choking up. "They're
singing, and a whole flood of people showed up at the same time... that
this arraignment was taking place."
Obviously very moved, Roberts began haltingly
describing the crowd that had formed outside and had begun singing
Gospel songs.
"...They're singing a Gospel song?... and
you heard from the family members ...of those who were lost... You can
see the outpouring of support for this community; it goes all the way
down the street... I'm sorry..."
Unable to go on at one point, another MSNBC announcer took over, as Roberts just stared at the crowd, seemingly stunned.
