1. Sophie is twelve, isn't she? Her mom died doing the thing mom's do,

protecting their child from danger. Is her brother older or younger?
I can't imagine the nightmares those kids are going to have after this mess.

7. Profoundly moving.

God bless these children and the rest of this devastated family. May the good works and fine examples of their departed loved ones contribute to their recovery. And may the punishment for this atrocity be swift, merciless, and fully public.

8. Well, IIRC Minnesota doesn't have the death penalty

So, whatever happens won't be swift, at least in that sense.

Maybe that's better.

9. Death is too good for the killer

Let him live and suffer.
