"May The Almighty God Have Mercy On This Poor, Innocent Boy's Soul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                These words are spoken in a thought balloon, by Victor Frankenstein, in the Classics Illustrated Comics edition of the Mary Shelley novel.  In the panel, he is standing at the foot of the gallows, at sunrise, upon the hanging of Justine Moritz, the distant cousin/governess, who was accused of murdering Victor's prepubescent brother, William. But Victor knows who the real murderer is, but will not come forward.  And so he thinks in his head, what bears repeating--"I shall never know peace again.  May the Almighty God have mercy on that poor, innocent girl's soul."

                                  Yesterday, sadly, over on Staten Island, the Fitzpatricks bury their beloved son, Daniel.  I imagine words to this effect are floating through their heads, but I would hope they are floating through the heads of everyone in attendance, there. And that would include I hope, Daniel's classmates, and, most especially, the tormentors and their parents.

                                      Sure, no one wanted this, but you know, darlings, actions have consequences.  I think there should be an investigation into the teaching and administrative practices at this school. Already, a Council chairman has been asked to resign--and should--for taking a stand that dealing with bullying is unnecessary. Well, eat those words now!  And Daniel's sister's tale of a teacher, who would stand outside, after school, holding up the poorest students' test papers and scores, and calling them out to one and all, outdoes even what Mrs. Cohen did to me in first grade.  And that has certainly left its scars on me.

                                        I hope Sister Camille is there. I know our lovable reptile friend, Gojira is there, incognito, and he would love to give the student body a good talking to.

                                         And why have we not heard of the perpetrators being dealt with?  Are they to be allowed to get away with this?  At the very least, they should be thrown out of school!!!!!!  Go on; attack me, if you want; I stand by what I say.

                                          Is Holy Angels Harvard?  Is it Miss Porter's?  If they are trying to incorporate the word of God, and the teachings of Jesus into their students, they have not done a very good job!

                                          Daniel Fitzpatrick's untimely demise indicates that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
