"I was hoping and praying that everyone [would stay] still and calm, and hoped that there would be no violence," McLaughlin said last night.A predator is threatening children at gunpoint, for God's sake, their fathers are helpless to do anything but obey, and all the pastor can do is "hope and pray."
"He ordered several children and their father to go up the aisles getting purses and wallets," McLaughlin, 48, said."
These parishioners and their minister remind me of the old joke about the flood victim.
