Ethel Lance, who was just 70 years old and one of the shooting victims of Dylann Roof was laid to rest today in Charleston as the funerals begin for the nine people killed. Ethel Lance’s daughter says she forgives Dylann Roof. Lance’s daughter is a lot stronger of person than I would be. I could never bring myself to forgive a scumbag like Roof for taking nine innocent lives. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton was also laid to rest.
The ceremony was peaceful, the only problem is that Jessie Jackson and NBC’s Al Sharpton decided to crash the funeral.
