#1 “Please join me in praying for the students who’ve been injured in this horrible crime,” said Governor John R. Kasich in a statement after a shooting at Chardon High School in northeastern Ohio."

Governor Kasich instructs us to pray, but only AFTER children are slain at a school in which they could not pray.

#2 ..but that was because it was to a Christian god. Uncertainty if any other deity had been an option given judicial fiats.

#3 Governor Kasich instructs us to pray, but only AFTER children are slain at a school in which they could not pray.

Students pray at school all the time, and all the more fervently for it not being a formal activity.

"Dear God, please let Teacher call on someone else."
"Dear God, I'll study next time if only I pass this test."
"Ohmigod, it's going to explode!!!"

Governor Kasich asked. In a twitter, no less, which presumes that those who received it were interested in what he had to say, rather than otherwise. He did not instruct. And as he is doing a much better job than his misbegotten predecessor, I have absolutely no complaints that he so chooses to share the sorrows of those who suffered in this tragedy.

Separately, a second student has died. One hopes the kids who'd been bullying the killer reflect upon the theme of unexpected outcomes.

#4 I still don't believe this actually happened. It must be a fabrication becuase, after all, isn't the scholl a gun fee zone? A shooting is impossible without a gun.

#5 The child who did the shooting -- was he reenacting the Terminator? The Matrix? High Plains Drifter? -- isn't dead yet. He turned himself in and he'll likely go to a juvie center until he's 21. If tried as an adult he'll likely get out when he's 30 or 35.

If he was dangling from a rope within 24 hours nobody'd have to pray after the next shooting because there wouldn't be one.

#6 Fred: I read that 3 of the kids have died so far, and if a 4th pegs, he will have reenacted Kent State. That, and pumped some ironic life into that Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song.
