The ol' divert-attention-through-use-of-passive-voice tactic. Should be:
Man shot on Delachaise Street after HE TOLD group of yutes to knock off horseplay
Like those stories about Jews and Arabs. The Arabs just seem to be "there" when some mysterious entity attacks Jews. Of course, when a Jew is suspected of even a hateful glance, writers default to use of the active voice.
Missed the other one. Should be:
Yutes shoot man on Delachaise Street after HE TOLD them to knock off horseplay
Horseplay is the sport of fools.
It should be “Gang of hoodlums shoot man after he stops them from vandalizing school busses”.
Actually the man who was shot was not the man who told the kids to knock it off. That should not surprise you as we know these little “gangsta one a bes” hit more by standers than their intended target.
