Two teens arrested in connection with journalist's killing
CBS ^ | April 20, 2019 /

Police in Northern Ireland have arrested two teenagers in connection with the fatal shooting of journalist Lyra McKee. The men, aged 18 and 19, were detained Saturday under anti-terrorism legislation and taken to Belfast for questioning, the Police Service of Northern Ireland said.

The men have not been identified or charged. Police had said earlier there was one gunman who pulled the trigger who had been backed by an "organization," and said they were searching for multiple suspects.

McKee, 29, was a rising star of investigative journalism. She was killed during rioting in the city of Londonderry Thursday night, probably by a stray bullet aimed at police. Police called it a "terrorist act" and said the New IRA dissident group was most likely responsible.

Are they ‘teens’, ‘teenagers’ or ‘men’?

Well if it is the “New IRA,” and it is like the old IRA, then if Ted Kennedy (D-Hell) had a son...

[she] was a rising star of investigative journalism

Remember, any "jerbilist" that gets killed is automatically granted Sainthood on the spot...

I don’t think prospective members of the New IRA are who you think they are.

A stray bullet intended for a cop...

Focus on this story is a hopeful search for international Trump-inspired assassination of righteous journalists.

18 and 19 year olds are ‘men’ when they kill one of their own but are ‘teenagers’ when it is Trayvon Martin.

How many Americans were killed by illegals last month... and why doesn’t CBS give a damn about them?

Yes, I know...and the last I checked, 18 and 19 were also consider teenage because they are also ages in the teens.

The point is simple, folks like to use random ages and words to manipulate the reader. Does one magically become a man at 17 years and 365 days? The answer is no. That is the point I am making and you walked right into how people are manipulated with words.

"The point is simple, folks like to use random ages and words to manipulate the reader.”

Agreed. One can always tell who the media wants to be seen as a "villain" or "saint' by decribing them as teeagers(when they are legally a man) or "men" when they are still teenagers
