Browntggrr Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 http://m.wpxi.com/news/news/local/breaking-police-searching-shooter-kennywood/nmrp3/ Why even bother mentioning the May incident?? Neither has to do with the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 ^Typical news mentality. Something bad happens at a park, you have to bring up the other bad things that have happened before even though there's no reason to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Or it's a possible pattern? No different than saying an accident on 75s and this stretch of highway has seen x number of accidents over a period of time. I think the transition between the old info and new is subpar, but it is part of the park. Are the two related? No. But is it a trend of the area? Possible, but not probable?

Browntggrr Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 ^ If the bullet came from inside the park, I can understand bringing up the May incident. But to mention it, and as the very last bit if information in the article, gives the impression one had to do with the other. If a reader only reads the title of the article, and the last paragraph, it gives the impression the shooting too place in the park. Perhaps I am looking into it too much. It just bugs me the media can twist the facts into making any entity look bad. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I agree with how it was put in. It comes off as lazy and copy and paste. But I think it's important to the narrative ... But you could very well include this in the "can't make this up" thread because it's just bizarre Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Celebratory gunshots have for years been known to fall back to earth, sometimes causing death, disfigurement or injury. Nothing bizarre about it. Firing a gun up into the air is stupid. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
