'This young man was infected with that virus, he was infected with the spirit of nationalism, racism, antisemitism, hatred of anyone who is different,' said Rev. Brown.
Retired cop Aaron Salter, one of 10 people killed in the mass shooting, is being praised for the valiant actions he took to protect others.
And the reverend said it extends far beyond one community - the shooter in Buffalo is just one example of the hate. "This young man was infected with that virus, he was infected with the spirit of nationalism, racism, antisemitism, hatred of anyone who is different," said Rev. Brown. Local leaders from within those different communities are reaching out to Rev. Brown with a message of solidarity and a call for action.
"You know what they are all saying is we feel the pain with you and we must stand in solidarity and call out this evil of hate and violence wherever it rears its ugly head," said Rev. Brown.
