COLUMBUS, Ohio - Dozens of protesters raised Subway sandwiches overhead this weekend in front of the Ohio Statehouse steps, in a symbolic gesture to the memory of a man whose life relatives say ended with unjust violence.
Protests descended on this state capital s downtown following the fatal shooting of Casey Goodson Jr., a 23-year-old Black man whose relatives say he was entering his grandmother s home carrying Subway sandwiches when a sheriff s deputy shot him on Dec. 4. The deputy s lawyer said Goodson pointed a gun at the officer.

Masks not the only thing Ohio legislators are clueless about

Absent contact tracing, there’s no way to know how several members of the Ohio House of Representatives contracted COVID-19. But it’s fair to wonder (though likely impossible to know) if the House’s mulish refusal to require masks was a factor.
While grossly irresponsible, that can’t have surprised anyone who’s watched our increasingly clueless Legislature, particularly on questions of (self-defined) manhood (e.g., guns). Thing is, Ohioans don’t want to finance a remake of “Rambo.” They just want a state government led by adults.
