Katelynn Strate, 17, was seven months pregnant when she was hit by a bullet during the incident in Ponchatoula, Louisiana
hit by a bullet
Shot. The word is “shot”.
Intersected the ballistic trajectory of an inert projectile.
“Was temporarily co-terminus with a lead mass”
some writers don’t like to use the same word on adjacent sentences, the title had shot, so they chose hit for the subtitle
Could’ve gone with murdered or fatally wounded. Of course it’s all half measures when it’s still passive voice. The right play is “<person> fatally wounded <person> when they chose to unleash their rage in a fit of ego.”
Here I was thinking “oh maybe it was a stray bullet?” Nope, just shitty passive voice journalism
Why was she standing in the path of a bullet!? Didn’t she know that’s where bullets travel!?
Bust a cap.
After reading that, the other driver should face charges as well. They were both brake checking other and fully engaged in the altercation.
I don’t believe in the death penalty, but people who pull guns over road rage should be tortured almost to death.
they should be forced to drive behind my uncle and his perpetual left turn signal for the rest of their natural lives.
So you like the suffering, but want to feel like you’re a good person.
Sounds like you believe in the ideals that lead to the death penalty (seeing justice as retribution, rather than rehabilitation, or restoration) but don’t want to be known as someone that supports the death penalty.
