But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we BELIEVE that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the Word of the LORD, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the LORD shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the LORD Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the Trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with the LORD. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Trump sends ‘love and hope’ to family of Charlotte light rail stabbing victim

“I just give my love and hope to the family of the young woman who was stabbed this morning or last night in Charlotte by a madman,” Trump said Monday.

“A lunatic just got up and started — it’s right on the tape, not really watchable, because it’s so horrible — but just viciously stabs her. She’s just sitting there. So they’re evil people. We have to be able to handle that. If we don’t handle that, we don’t have a country,” he said.

The attack happened on Aug. 22. Surveillance video of the incident published by the Charlotte Area Transit System over the weekend sparked intense reaction online.

Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was the victim of the attack. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr., allegedly stabbed Zarutska three times, according to court documents. He has been charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond.

“My prayers remain with her loved ones as they continue to grieve through an unimaginable time,” the mayor said. “Like so many of you, I’m heartbroken — and I’ve been thinking hard about what safety really looks like in our city. I remain committed to doing all we can to protect our residents and ensure Charlotte is a place where everyone feels safe.”
