And Rmj at Adventus:
Rend the heavens and rend our hearts. Whatever it takes, we need it now. It is unimaginable that we are still waiting for God to come and save us from ourselves. Whatever relief there is from this horror, we cannot seem to provide it.
We can't even seem to talk about how to prevent it.
