Since this is being reported all over...

That second article is horribly written. The way it's titled and worded I had to read it like 5 times to figure out who shot who and who was being robbed.

But maybe I'm just bad at English.

 

Yeah, the way it sounded from the title was that the victim shot someone else and killed them, not that he got shot. That's the problem with a lot of news articles; the people who right them either don't know how to write or they are forced to write at a dumbed down level. I remember one of my professors talking about the level of writing for various things, and one of the ones they mentioned was news articles. The prof said that most newspapers are written at a sixth grade level because the majority of the U.S. has problems reading anything more difficult than that.

 

Its so confusing I think it confused you Blade.

It appears that 3 young men (one of them being the man who died) approached another man in his car and drew a fire arm. The man in the car drew his weapon for which he had a license to carry and opened fire. The person who died WAS the criminal. The person who killed the criminal was the person with the license.

 

Really, I thought it was the other way since they only mentioned the licensed man by name and he was on the ground with his gun underneath him.

 

Uhh.. From what I gather the licensed man was found by police face down in the street with his gun under him. The robber died at the hospital..... idk dude this is retard strength reading material.

 

What?.....thank goodness you explained what happened....the way that this was written i had reread it several times to come close to understanding it...and still it confused me

 

peace is right

wiggins = robber = dead on the ground

jones = robee. He shot wiggins twice, and was not shot
