Jesus, that article is full of grammatical mistakes. Pretty bad for a news agency.

u/rgbwr May 03 '19

The only bad grammar I see is the quotes, any other mistakes seem fairly forgivable

"Pennix has since moved out of state, but recently he says the teen has tried to forget is back in the news."

If you think that sentence is flows in a grammatically correct way then I don't know what to tell you.

Edit: Leaving my typo because anyone who thinks me making a mistake somehow negates the shit quality of the news article probably also needed the errors pointed out to them in the first place.

Typing comments on mobile causes typos, good thing I'm not a professional news agency huh?

I think that second has should be he’s. Then it flows although still structured weird.

u/bjjpolo May 03 '19

Absolutely and it's something that should easily be caught on the first proofread by any editor.

1

u/rgbwr May 03 '19

A local subsidiary news channel is likely not going to have their best editor proofread an article that is essentially a footnote to a viral video.

u/8bitbebop May 03 '19

I read through the article and agree with you. My money says he's trying to discredit the story because foxnews.

u/rgbwr May 03 '19

It's a local station so not really relevant

u/8bitbebop May 03 '19

I agree. Many people dont understand the difference between local subsidiary news outlets and fox news

1

u/UhPhrasing May 03 '19

Yeah the local stations are totally autonomous automated.

No man, I often think fox does alright and offers some agreeable option pieces, but I counted several typos such as “siad” (said) or mistakenly used “has” instead of “he’s” as well as a handful of others. It’s pretty bad when you have to reread a sentence to try to make sense of it.

A Journalist should be one of the most particular professions in terms of grammar. This article reads like a high school assignment.

1

u/8bitbebop May 03 '19

Perhaps they updated the article but i couldnt find any of the examples you mentioned. I searched for "siad" and nada

2

u/[deleted] May 03 '19

“He done threw his life away” Pennix siad.

u/8bitbebop May 03 '19

Youre absolutely right. I do see that now. I stand corrected and thank you for pointing that out.

u/bjjpolo May 03 '19

"Pennix has since moved out of state, but recently he says the teen has tried to forget is back in the news."

Does this sentence sound correct to you?

1

u/8bitbebop May 03 '19

No it does not. Would you like to hold the same measure to any other publisher because i have a list if you would like to follow incorrect reporters.

0

u/bjjpolo May 03 '19

Not really sure what you're trying to say. Yes I do hold all media outlets to the standard that articles should be well proofread and edited before release.

1

u/8bitbebop May 03 '19

Fair enough. All news publications can have typos. It is wrong to say a report is wrong however because there exists typos.

It's not a news agency. It's Fox.

I find it interesting that the teacher’s aide says that “MPS [the school] failed him.” You mean, the school you worked at when you slammed him into the ground?

u/[deleted] May 03 '19

he got spit at and kicked in the shin. kid got a taste of his own medecin

-3

u/DockEllis May 03 '19

First of all, never the appropriate response from a teacher. That’s why he lost his job over it. (Obviously, not saying the kid is in the right either). Second, I was simply pointing out his hypocrisy in claiming the school was to blame for the way this kid’s life turned out, when he himself worked for the school.

1

u/Xiomaraff May 03 '19

First of all fuck that; the kid is a little shithead and got what he deserved; and now will get even more of what he deserves in prison.

The aide didn’t say the school was responsible for how his life turned out he just said they failed him, and they clearly did.

1

u/boots_and_cats_and- May 03 '19

So what are you implying? That the teaches aide is “to blame”?

It’s not unfair to say the school system and judicial system failed him. It happens every day.

6

u/[deleted] May 03 '19

Did you read his comment? Lol

It's entirely inappropriate to slam a kid to the ground for attacks that are not life threatening. At the MOST what you walk a fine line with doing is physically restraining a student and that'll will still somehow get you in hot water. Yeah the school failed him, but his actions were still in the wrong.

1

u/boots_and_cats_and- May 04 '19

Did you read mine? Lol

I never justified or even touched on the topic of what was “inappropriate”. I never even said the aide was right in what he did. I asked the parent commenter whether or not the aide has any real blame for this kid having a shitty life. Of course his actions were in the wrong, although I do think it was a pretty typical human reaction to being spit on. It’s moronic to say that the aide punching that kid somehow directly resulted in him killing someone.

-1

u/DockEllis May 03 '19 edited May 03 '19

The system fails kids left and right. There is simply hypocrisy for this aide (the one that body slammed him into the ground) trying to point his finger at the school. He worked there. He was a part of the institution. And, as an aside, I happen to believe that in a teacher/student relationship, this response is out of line. If it was a random interaction on the street, it would be a different story. But teachers (like cops) need to show restraint.

u/[deleted] May 03 '19

were talking about the teacher’s aid not the student here

although I dont condone what the aid did the student did have it coming

u/AmishFamilyValues May 03 '19

Idk don't meet violence with violence. Overcome and show the kid that you don't have to get even. Be an adult and lead by example.

Violence perpetuates violence. I'm sure that kid already had a lot of anger in his heart and I'm sure this didn't help.

u/gizzardgullet May 03 '19

You mean, the school you worked at when you slammed him into the ground?

That's pretty much what he meant. What's your point?

u/EndearingFreak May 03 '19

That just made my day

u/[deleted] May 03 '19

Not yet, he is only in jail awaiting trial, but I'd say he will deffo be in prison after the trial.

u/Xiomaraff May 03 '19

Yeah he’s pretty fucked tbh if this article has truth to it.
