STLtoday - 4 injured in 4 shootings in StL

Four shootings yesterday. Four separate shootings.This city is insane. Do not linger on the streets, people. It’s not safe.

Favorite badly-written PD sentence in this article has got to be:

The girl and a woman were arguing and a man in a crowd that had gathered fired shots.

That’s not only badly written, that’s also funny in that it makes it seem as if the man got fed up with their arguing and shot at them. Which may or not be the case, actually. Hrm. Must rethink guns as a solution to making people STFU. Though I do understand the urge.

    • I don't live on the moon
      Drink martinis in the afternoon
      I don't pretend to make
      The world feel better
      I don't live on the moon
      No I, I don't live on the moon

      I need no guide
      I'll be alone

      long dark ride

    • It just ain't fair this
      thing called loving
      When one's still there
      and the other feels nothing
      I would have done anything for you
      I still love you, baby I adore you
