I don’t think you can approve of this.

From the article:

“One of the men who were killed has been identified as Charlie Johnson, a recent graduate of the University of St. Thomas School of Engineering. The university said he was recognized at all three commencement ceremonies on Saturday and a family member accepted his diploma on his behalf.”

That piece of the story was added after I posted this thread.

Still, uncalled for.

When all of the facts of this story come out, I’ll wager that Mr. Johnson attempted to break up the altercation.

RIP.

One of the men who were killed has been identified as Charlie Johnson, a recent graduate of the University of St. Thomas School of Engineering.

That was a serious school to go to when I was a kid, and a school where faith could be taken seriously.

I was still in my bartending (and beverage consumin') phase at that time, and took very little seriously until I realized I was halfway through my 20s. This kid certainly deserved the advantages I had, and likely the thoughtfulness and decency I had cast to the winds.

“One of the men who were killed has been identified as Charlie Johnson..."

"one... were killed"?

Never know these days: was "they" a "one" or were "they" two or more? Or, more likely, the writer doesn't know that "of" is a preposition.

(Just guessing)
