It can't happen here ...


I WILL NOT revisit the details of the killing on a Greyhound bus not far from here ... it is simply to horrid to discuss further here ...
My only thought on the whole ugly story is that it is simply WRONG to say "that couldn't happen here ..." and to be gripped with the paralysis that comes when real life intrudes in a quiet corner of creation that we previously thought safe from such perils ...
Moments like this simply tell us that the world can be a cold and unbelievably cruel place and things that defy ALL logic and reason happen ALL the time ... and sometimes they happen close to home ... both literally and figuratively ...
What happened was a profound tragedy ... and it will never make any sense ... and an innocent life ended in an unbelievably tragic way ... there are simply no words to speak ... just the prayer - "God help us all ..."
