One of my early memories of the sinister intentions of some residents of this planet was a burglary at the Rolla, Mo., elementary school at which I was attending kindergarten at the time. I find myself briefly wishing for those powers in the wake of the latest school shooting. "The massacre marked the deadliest U.S. school shooting in nearly a decade and was at least the 30th school shooting at a K-12 school in 2022," according to a cnn.com story. During my kindergarten year, my elementary school was hit by a burglar looking to steal material things. As I worked on this column, a TV news channel flashed an image of children with pictures of the Uvalde shooting victims around their necks.
