Note how they talk around it. You have to read very carefully to find out that the deceased was the robber. It would be so much clearer to say “Stupid thief dies trying to rob armed man”, but that would not fit the agenda. Because all gun deaths are tragic, don’tcha know...
Zactly.
It’s the Post Gazette. What do you expect? We seem to have generations of journalists and editors that never got past namby pamby.
PARAGRAPH #2: Jiwan Bailey, 19, of Penn Hills, was killed by a bullet to the chest, according to Aliquippa police Chief Ralph Pallante.
PARAGRAPH #3: The chief said Mr. Bailey and two others tried to rob Lucien Roberts, 26, and Brian Elmore Jr., 21, both of Aliquippa, around 2:14 a.m. in the 100 block of Fifth Avenue.
Talked around it?? Looks like you “read” around it!
Had to chuckle about how the article is written to imply that the gun “just, kinda, maybe accidentally, pulled its own trigger and a bullet was last seen entering the perp’s chest”.
Not like the owner leveled off on center-of-mass and performed exacting gun control.
