Nance’s prior arrest records indicated that he was previously arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon involving a woman.
It needs to be specified if you discharge your weapon and a woman is involved? Because that’s…a different charge than if a man is involved? What if it’s a woman discharging the weapon? Still phrased like this? What a weird thing to put.
No. They are saying that he was previoualy arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon and that the aforementioned incident involved a woman.
Would you have been happier if it had said, “Nance’s prior arrest records indicated that he was previously arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon involving a person?” Because that sounds awkward to me.
Aggravated discharge implies involving another person so that wouldn’t be said. It feels like something is being hinted at - likely domestic violence - without being explicitly said for some reason. I think that’s the weirdness being commented on. If it was domestic violence why not say that? But if not that what is being hinted at?
It’s probably overthinking, but this is the internet.
I think that they’re saying that the person is implied, aggravated discharge of a weapon with no person involved is just target practice.
Why not just end the sentence with the word “weapon”? That’s the important part.
Because shooting a gun in your front yard at nobody in particular because you’re a crazy fucker is different than firing a gun in a way as to threaten a person or persons.
That’s what the “aggravated” part is for. You don’t get “aggravated” tacked on if another person is not involved.
Do you think most people understand that?
Nice of you to notice the subtitles of the American justice system. This is actually a much harsher crime than just leaving the gender undefined.
JOLIET, Ill. (CBS) – Eight people were found shot and killed in three different locations over two days in Joliet, and the suspect in the slayings was also found dead by a suspected suicide 1,200 miles away Monday night, police said.
The apparent self-inflicted gunshot death of 23-year-old Romeo Nance in Texas followed a manhunt by multiple law enforcement agencies.
Yikes.
Mess with the best, die like the rest
I want to reply “What a dumb comment” to you, but maybe I’m the one who’s missing something. Explain to me what you were trying to say in your comment
Don’t mess with Texas is an anti littering slogan that got co-opted when people forgot where it started
It’s a quote from the movie “Hackers”
Shit you’re right.
Damn! I love that movie too.
Oh shit, it was deleted by a moderator! “Mess with the best, die like the rest” is a quote from the movie “Hackers”, and ZeroCool was the hackers name in the movie. It also is OPs username. I thought the quote was relevant to the post as well
Username aside, in what way is it relevant? What idea were you to express?
The idea that after 30 years that movie is still awesome
Also that the killer messed with the best (those 8 people killed) so he died like the rest (of other mass killers)
It’s a double entendres
Eight people were found shot and killed in three different locations over two days in Joliet, and the suspect in the slayings was also found dead by a suspected suicide 1,200 miles away Monday night, police said.
Who are “the best” here?
edit2: fixed wording a bit, added Texas
Not sure, but I tried to point out, with the quote, that he was not unalived by someone else; suspect was unalived by themself.
Texas pride? Is a guess.
Why would you have pride in Texas? Other than Dallas and Houston, that place is a shithole.
