Thoughts 'n Prayers

   Yup! It's time to send them out again, after the latest school shooting in the good ol' U.S of A. This time, as many as 10 are dead after some asshole with a chip on his shoulder, toting a shotgun walked into a classroom at the high school in Santa Fe, Texas, and opened fire. 9 of the dead are students, and a teacher, were killed. As many as a dozen others were injured The (alleged) shooter, a 17 year old, was arrested. A 2nd "person of interest" was also taken into custody. Both are from the same school.
   If that's not bad enough, several explosive devices were found in the school and surrounding area. Bomb squad cops were working to render them safe. The "devices" were pipe and pressure cooker bombs. A motive isn't known.
   Sticking with the script for this, and other school shootings (Parkland Florida for one), POTUS Donald Trump issued the basic, time worn condolence statement:

"We grieve for the terrible loss of life and send our love and support to everyone affected by this absolutely horrific attack. We're with you in this tragic hour and we'll be with you forever."

   And you'd better keep the "Thoughts 'n Prayers" on standby, cause this sure as shit won't be the last school shooting that'll happen in the States.
   Nuff said.
