    This is one of the worst articles I’ve read in recent memory from a purported source of record. Nowhere does it actually expand on the headline. It jumps all over the timeline. The fight information is buried. I think it’s supposed to be a human interest story related to something bad that happened. I’ve sent it to two people who were equally confused.

      My interpretation is that the deceased stepped in between some kid and this group of future burdens to the state and unfortunately died for it. Seems like it wasn’t the first time the kid was targeted either. Article probably can’t say much more if it’s still in the courts, which I assume it is; as not all of them have been sentenced yet. I agree the editorialising of the article is dumb though.

      You’re absolutely right. This article meanders around so much it’s like someone with ADHD wrote it, and I have ADHD. I would not be at all surprised if this thing was written by some wanna be AI copywriter. If this is supposed to a be news article, someone needs to find a new line of work.
