Judge allows victim’s family members to address church shooter in Court

South Carolina church shooter Dylann Roof attended his bond hearing via video hookup from the jail behind the courthouse and a judge allowed distraught family members of his victims to speak to him.

“It’s important to hear from the victims and let them speak out,” said the Judge Gosnell. Some family members declined to speak but the daughter of Esther Lance (pictured inset), spoke
"I just want everybody to know… to you… I forgive you. You took something very precious away from me. I will never talk to her ever again. I will never be able to hold her again. But I forgive you… and have mercy on your soul. You hurt me, you hurt a lot of people, but I forgive you.” she said as Roof showed no emotion.

      This Roof guy is evil. He killed almost a dozen people and doesn't even show any remorse. He is pure evil!

    just some couple of days if am right Linda posted stuffs about ghost and at a point I felt she was making most of them or better still copy and paste news as most other blogger do.
    not on till about 1:08 am this morning when a neighbor stated scream I checked through ma window but before that raised ma cotton down , in mind I felt someone was sick/something of that nature being among the few students that own a car in ma lounge (poly nekedi(south africa) I got ready think I would be the one would call out . then things changed (screaming) from the help me ! chai! cheneke n stuffs d guy started screaming my thing is gone b4 I could step out odas wia already dia watching when I asked one of the guys , he replied me "ma guy d..k done miss e say girl wey e carry do am" then me maself n few odas took the guy to clinic (b4 den we checked the guys d..k to confirm but it happen dat his thing was shrieking n bleeding) finally when we got 2 d clinic d guy said "e get anoda guy wey miss enta d room" not believing we made calls and just to see with ma own eye I rushed back with one of d guys on getting dia we saw d girl crying n saying she z innocent .
    then again I asked the said the saw this huge black guy without a face n de rily can't say how he managed to escape .... to cut d long story short d girl was saved from being burnt n a pastor said dat d guy was actually a spirit husband to d girl n according to d girl she said she was a virgin .... would so love to share pictures I captured with ma phone with u guys (don't mean d ghost but dat of d guy , girl n students)

    This forgiveness sing song is propaganda that's peddled to black people to calm them down when tragedy strikes them. Since when does America forgive when its precious sons and daughters are cruelly snatched? Never. September 11th, war. Boston bombers, one dead perpetrator and the other on death row. Roof goes out and massacres nearly a dozen black people. Suddenly, the ususal calls for vengeance and retribution are muted for these sermons on forgiveness by families members so distraught in their pain, they probably don't know what they're saying.
