They Died As They Prayed In The Place That Bound Them Together (Profiles of 6 victims)

One was a sprightly 97-year-old who was a regular sight walking around her Pittsburgh neighborhood.

Another was a big hearted retired accountant who did folks’ tax returns for free — and helped collect clothes for a black church after Hurricane Florence struck.

Two were grown brothers who were mentally challenged and had a special bond few siblings could boast of.

Another was a synagogue men’s club president who was praying in the same sanctuary where his grandson was circumcised just a few months ago.

me over the edge is when I read about the victims and their lives and you realize what has been lost and how senseless it is. It is just so tragic that someone so evil had to take out so many wonderful, decent human beings who only did good in the world.

with our President it became inevitable and only a matter of time.

I am more determined that ever to resist this hatred and work actively against it.
