This happened at the prison where I work.  When they mention counselors in the story, that's me.

Why were they out playing golf and baseball during a thunderstorm anyway?  The thought of holding an alluminum bat, or a steel golf club doesn't seem to appealing when lightning is around...

Speaking of which, what exactly was the golf club made of? I'm being stupid, but it said it wasn't metal.

It had a graphite shaft most likely, if it wasn't steel.

Selective reading?

It said in the article that when the lightning hit the golfer, the sun was shinning over the course.

That puts a completely different image of inmates in my mind.

So, honest question, what was the actual reaction by most of the population of the prison to the death and injuries? I mean the mental/emotional reaction, not the immediate, "get help, Josey is hurt" one.

If you can discuss it, that is.

My guess is that the inmates were really phased but the natural disaster deaths. Also my cynical mind thinks that the religious people are there to rub in the fact that God struck down his vengence to the sinner and the other inmates are up next if they dont repent.

I think MANY of you are missing the MAIN point this was a prisoner in a JAIL funded by Your tax dollors.  Arent you GLAD that while you bust your buts working day in day out you are PAYING for these prisoners to play a good ol game of Basball as well as have MANY of the other luxuryies many of us can not afford our selfs like veideo games, tv, many differant typs of sports equipment, schooling an many other great things.

Now dont get me wrong i aint saying jails a great vacation spot but i TRULY belive it SHOULD be a LITTLE less comfy as i KNOW tax dollors could be used on MUTCH more needing areas.  After all these people DID do something or other to deserve their punishment why make it more comfy for em.

As for the lighting strike thats GOTTA SUCK lol.
