cecil: no. no. >> and there's the rub. >> >> i guess if i can follow up on that point about the news content or the content put on peoples facebook pages, that it's not really about bias or the perception that the media tries to capture both sides and there might not be another side, do we think there would just do you think we would be better off if there were fewer outlets -- more organization videos and contents on our facebook page and fewer media outlets you thought tried to gauge in this both-siderism? mr. cecil: i think we would be better off if we had more outlets that are truthful and engage in a constructive way, and i think that is fundamentally different than how our president chooses to engage. when you are encouraging ending congratulating members of congress for by slamming reporters, that is not a constructive way to engage in social media. when you are gladhanding, aw-shucksing a regime responsible for murdering a reporter, that is not a constructive way to engage in the process

cecil played cricket for shrewton cricket club from age 1a.n brian edwards explains, although from a humble background cecil chubb had married well, to mary. mary's father owned the largest asylum in victorian england. and although it was undeclared that he was her father, doctor corbyn finch left her the equivalent of £100,000 when he died in 1905. so mary became one of the richest people in wiltshire. and that meant when the amesbury abbey estate, including stonehenge, came up for sale, chubb had money in his pocket, and an eye for a purchase. so he was a local man, he remembers coming to stonehenge as a boy, he used to cycle up here and visit the site only a couple of miles away from his home. and so i think when it came up for auction he felt very much that rather than perhaps, you know, an american by it and try and ship it off, he felt very much that a local person ought to look after it. cecil wasn't the only one with an eye on stonehenge. or the land it was on. i've come to amesbury to meet richard crook. richard, lovely to meet you. l

i know he had special needs, and cecil was 59 and david was 54, and david on the left and cecil on theugh the picture you can see the friendliness and warmth of these brothers but can you tell us again about your experience in greeting you? >> to be from squirrel hill, everybody in the community would know who david and cecil are. these are two fixtures at the tree of life, and my son went to the school there and was bar mitzvahed there, and he would know cecil. cecil was somebody that would be there when we walked in and somebody that would say good-bye when we left. when i drive home from work, if i see cecil at the bus stop i honk and wave, and i know his sister and they were community members that were loved and not a mean bone in their body. and that these are people that are fixtures in the community. by and large the people at the synagogue that early in the morning are people that are conservative jewish believing people that go there early in the morning and pray every saturday, to think they were there in their most vulnerable moment is devastating to the community. >> all of

cecil was born here and his family have been here for several generations.. as historian brian edwards explains, although from a humble background, cecil chubb had married well, mary. mary's father owned the largest asylum in victorian england. although it was declared that he her father, corbin finch left are the equivalent of £100,000 when he died in 1905. mary became one of the richest people in wiltshire. so when the amesbury abbey estate, including stonehenge came up for sale, cecil chubb had money in his pocket. when it came up for auction, he felt that rather than an american by it and try and ship it off, a local person should look after it. cecil wasn't the only one with an eye on stonehenge or the land it was on. i have come to amesbury to meet richard crook. lovely to meet you. likewise. his grandfather, isaac crook, local sheep farmer at the time wanted a slice of the amesbury abbey estate. lam slice of the amesbury abbey estate. i am excited to find out what is in this case. inside this case is an amazing piece of history. this is what i have co

cecil was an usher. everyone saw them -- everyone saw him -- >> the unofficial greeters, apparently. >> right. during the eulogy today, their sister and brother-in-law spoke. and the brother-in-law said that cecil could have been the mayor of squirrel hill if he wanted to be. that's how popular he was. but during the eulogy, the sister and brother-in-law said they were kind. they were thoughtful. they were gentle giants. they were big guys. but they were nonjudgemental. and they were very innocent. and that is the important thing. they just loved life and never knew there were any problems. and that's the tragic irony here, the sad thing. these men who were so innocent and so vulnerable and this building behind us, someone so violent ended their lives in this building they loved so much. it's so hurtful and so sad. >> when i hear you say that, i -- you know, i can only imagine what was going through their minds when this person came in, the astonishment they must have felt since they were really felt not

cecil and david were a part of that community. in fact, they helped to shape that community in their own way and so when i look at this act, i believe this is a very deliberate by an individual who knew who he was doing. i don't think for a second that he didn't know that. because everybody in pittsburgh know what is kind of a community squirrel hill is. it's not a secret. it is -- the place that really in many respects, you know, you want to be and i just -- welcoming to every community. and so, you know, it hurts. you know? and it's hard not to take it personal but at the same time i think it represents communities all over the city and all over the country and all over the world that are like squirrel hill and so when andrea mitchell says we have it within ourselves, this is -- this is what squirrel hill represents. >> then how does squirrel hill move on from this? you talk about last night's extraordinary vigil. you talk about a community coming together. and whether you're talking about cecil and david who lost their life or

cecil blaine, for instance, who tragically was killed six months after he escaped. had taliban to write -- had began to write a memoir of his experiences and of his escape. and i have it, you know, i found it as a handwritten memoir, and it basically stops almost mid page. he wasn't able to complete it, but he was able to write about when he was shot down, what experience was like tunneling, all this sort of really gritty, firsthand information that sort of illuminates what story was. same whether harvey. i had all his -- with will harvey. i had all his journals that he not only wrote his poetry, but his thoughts at the time at camp and, you know, scores of these. so i collected those and then wrote the book. yes, sir. >> two questions, please. first, i notice when you write these books, you also to a young adult edition? what goes into that? many do you leave out the footnotes and that sort of thing, or what's your target audience? and then second, tell us a little bit about your journey that got you started writing some of these historical novels. excuse me, histo

that for cecil and david. because their memory should be a blessing and continue forever. >> i don't have any recollections of being at the tree of life and cecil not being there. he was there before you got there. before i got there. he was usually the one to open the door for me and my family. and he was the one to reserve my seat for me and my family when we sat in the back with the rabbi's family. and if i happened to step out for more than a couple minutes, he would chase me down. and usher me back to my seat. >> what was beautiful about the service, anderson, in the synagogue, it wasn't just jews. it was christians. it was muslims. it was atheists. it was everybody. it was black, it was brown, it was white. the whole community came out. everyone loved these two men. >> i'm so glad you were able to be there and tell us about it, gary. thank you very much. there will certainly be missed as will dr. rabinowitz. his funeral at the jcc, the jewish community center, just a few blocks from here drew so many peo

cecil would call his parents. they would call their sisters. they were just people people.were the kind of person you would want as your neighbor, as your friend. they were beloved by anyone. >> i love this story they would throw a party for everything and that they wanted a bathroom remodeling party. that really says it all. >> you know, it does. it goes to the core of who they are, which is to celebrate life, to find the joy in every moment of every day. and it is just so unfortunate that the faith that they had and the love that they showed for tree of life. cecil was a greeter there, and david was the person who arranged the prayer books and the shawls. so cecil greeted everybody that was there. and they went every single saturday without fail. and on this particular day, they were so excited, they got up early. they couldn't wait to go. oftentimes they got there way before the synagogue was even open because they were so excited to go there. and, you know, we have mans to pick them up at noon and other plans for the day. and for their lives to end so tragically there i

i want to let you hear more about david and cecil. >> the first name i heard was cecil rosenthal. cecil was a beautiful man with special needs that i remember from when i was growing up in pittsburgh. we a tettended the same congregation. he was just always a sweet, sweet gentle soul that was friendly and helpful to everybody. i understand he came all the time because he wanted to help be part of the community and to make it accessible to everybody. >> you heard there about cecil. his brother, david, was also in the synagogue where he was for most of his life on a saturday. people said they rarely missed and they were there to greet everywhere. both of them lost their lives. bernice and sylvan simon were husband and wife and died there that day. rose mellinger said they would go and have lunch afterwards as they often did. they were not able to do that. so many people who touched so many lives. they are reeling from the tragedy and not to forget the six people who were injured, including four police officers. talking to the folks at the other synagogues in the neighborhood, there

brother cecil and david rosenthal. thank you. >> good to be here. wish it were under other circumstances. >> i wish it were, too. as we were listening to jessica's report and she was going through and telling us about each of these 11 people, i saw you reacting to each of them, but specifically to david and cecil rosenthal. we have heard so much about how these two men were such a light, no matter where they were. tell us more about them. >> well, i mean, if you grew up in pittsburgh and in squirrel hill in particular, you knew david and cecil. they were inseparable. they were everywhere. if they weren't at shul, where they were at every saturday morning, they were at the pittsburgh jcc. very active in the community. for those of us who grew up in pittsburgh, they were just a part of the community. today, we talk about inclusion and programs to help educate people about people with special needs. in our community, cecil and david were just part of the community. and doing their thing. they were different, and we all knew that, but everyone treated t

david and cecil rosenthal. david was on the left, 54 years old, cecil was 59, they were brothers. sort of considered of unofficial ambassadors of the tree of life synagogue. you talk to anyone in the neighborhood, they knew them, they saw them. they would greet congregants for years. and dr. rabinowitz is legendary in this community for his work early on for people who were suffering with hiv/aids at a time when many in this country, even in the medical community, were afraid to touch them. i'm so sorry for all of your losses of your friends and those you know in this community. first of all, how are you doing? how are you both holding up? >> it's hard. our children who live out of town both came in over the weekend when they heard the news. so we've been surrounded by family and members of the congregation have been gathering either formally or informally together, to spend time together and to provide comfort for each other. >> you went to the funeral for dr. rabinowitz. >> we went to the funeral this morning. >> reporter: what an extraordinary man he seems like. >> he's so big.

university, met cecil rosenthal through a program called best buddies. >> i went to services, and cecil, he had his talas on, and he carried the torah around the room, and basically, he would carry the torah around and everybody would go and kiss it, and that was his job. he was a big, strong guy. he was able to support the weight reporter: survivors of this community say they'll keep carrying. >> i'm not going anywhere else. pittsburgh is home. >> reporter: glad you feel that way. no matter what. this community is continuing to pray for those four victims who remain in that hospital behind me, but they're also getting ready for funerals, likely in the coming days. marlie? >> matt, thank you. >>> taking a turn now to a history-making season that's now reached its sweet end for the boston red sox. >> from the top on down, here comes a 1-2 pitch. red sox win the world series! 5-1 the final tonight! >> boston defeats los angeles in game five to win their fourth world series title in 15 years. here are the highlights. to put the sox on sixth, mookittcl. kershaw gave up another to j.d. marti

[laughter] his assistant would be cecil that you see there with the forged id identifying him as the assistant orderly from an insane asylum near the dutch border and kasper would be acting as an insane asylum patient who escaped and was on the run into david and carl had recaptured him and were bringing him home. so they get out of camp, start moving towards one of t

a question from cecile. congressman cramer you'll answer first. >> it is estimated one in four women will become victims of sexual assault in their lifetimes. the me too movement has stirred emotional memories for many. going forward, how can government better bhans the presumption of innocence for the accused with the need to assure future victims they will be heard and treated with respect? rep. cramer: excellent question and very important balance to find. i am not sure government is capable of doing it but we all ought to be part of the solution. this is a cultural issue. i think it deals a lot with our law enforcement. it can deal a lot with how we train employers. h.r. officials. to make it more comfortable for women to come forward, particularly as soon as possible after something will have happened. so they feel safe. because what we don't want to do is create in my mind something that actually is counterproductive to the goal of helping women feel comfortable and safe coming forward much sooner. and

jerry rabinowitz, the doctor that everyone loved, and the two brothers, cecil and david rosenthal. they are at 11:00 and 12:00. later this afternoon, the president will be coming. i have been here since early morning and the amount of police presence in this area increased 10-fold since this morning when i arrived before dawn. >> very significant, that police presence there. understandably so. thank you very much. six people were wounded in the synagogue attack. four police officers and two s.w.a.t. team members were among the wounded. two officers are still in the hospital. for more on the police response and the preparations for the president's visit, let's bring in the police chief, scott schubert. thanks so much for joining us. once again, our hearts go out to you and everyone else. update us, if you can, on the condition of the two police officer who is are still in the hospital. >> thanks very having me. yes, we have two still in the hospital. we are hoping one of them will be released tonight or tomorrow. things keep changing on that. the other one still has surgeries to go.

david and cecil rosenthal. david was 64. cecil, 59. they said they would stand there proudly at the synagogue, open the door, and talk to people. they would always welcome you. say hello, say shabbat. they were very, very, very well known among this community. there was also rose mallinger, who was 97 years old. and you have heard her name, and you have heard her age. but it is misleading because those we spoke to about her say she was a spry woman with lots of life yet to live. >> i heard the age this morning, and the tears came. to go through all that, i mean, the only comfort i could maybe say is that, yes, this was a comfort place to her, but that's not where this should have ever happened like this. and she and her daughter went that morning, expecting to go home and have lunch afterwards together. and it's not something we'll ever be able to wrap our heads around. >> the one thing people want everyone in the world to remember, and there is a member of the israeli ministry that is here to speak to this crowd, so all the way from i

cecil chubb was still bidding and the hammerfell at 6,600. a difference of £100. had won that auction? do you think he would have just returned it to farmland? well, i honestly can't answer that. i mean, who knows what he would have done? instead, three years later in 1918, cecil chubb and his wife mary gave stonehenge to the nation. that act of generosity to actually saved stonehenge. until that point, the stones were propped up by wooden poles, some of them were at risk of collapse and its future was by no means certain and so when the chubbs gave stonehenge to the nation, it kick—started a programme of care and conservation that english heritage continues to this day. today there was everything from a bouncy to a baked version of the ancient monument, all to celebrate it becoming an endearing slice of national life. this 100—year—old local woman stepped up to mark the centenary. thank you for inviting me. i shall remember this for the next 100 yea rs. remember this for the next 100 years. a real slice of history for a national treasure, almost lost the nation.

and cecil was a big gentle man. i used to wait for the bus with him at the corner of marfield and murray when we were a one-car family and i used to take the bus in to my residency and he'd be there every morning just kind of going wherever he was going. he was probably coming to shul for that matter, probably coming to services in the morning to make sure there were enough people. and he was so kind and gentle and there for people when they needed him. this gunman didn't just target them because they were jewish. he targeted them because they represented the best of what it was to be jewish. they were helpers. they were people who recognized that god put us here to look out for everybody in this world. that's the job of a human being. and he attacked that. and that's just -- that's unforgivable. >> and i would add to that that these were gentle souls. they would never hurt anybody. they were the backbones of their congregation. and it's just a senseless, senseless loss of life. and we're all grieving their -- i kne

cecil was protective, as older brothers are. affected by developmental disabilities, the brothers had hearts of gold. they lived and laughed together, never missed a saturday service, and would have never wanted to be apart. >> their innocence and their kindness is the way that people in this world -- i wish everybody could live like that. >> reporter: tomorrow, more funerals and tears. lives lost, but never forgotten. miguel almaguer, nbc news, pittsburgh. >> with the horror in pittsburgh still fresh in the minds of so many, along with the bravery of first responders, tonight, we're going inside the new cutting edge technology police are using to train for active shooter situations. nbc news national investigative correspondent jeff rossen has your first look in tonight's "rossen reports." >> we are pinned down by gunfire. >> reporter: when police in pittsburgh ran inside the synagogue, a violent shootout. this active shooter, just the latest in a string of cases. in fact, according to the fbi, in 2017, more active shooters tha
