This is a strange report:
“He explained what he saw in Liberia, but tried to express the shock he felt after witnessing four dogs attacking a man”
I mean, huhh???
What was the point of that?
Typical journalism: just string clauses together regardless of whether one reasonably leads to the next.
The gentleman said he’d seen a great deal of violence during the civil war in Liberia, but he was still shocked by watching a neighbor be killed by a pack of dogs.
