Male Cook Died In Olive Garden Horror

Quote:
FEBRUARY 3--An Olive Garden employee died from burn injuries he suffered after thrusting his head into a deep fryer in what police have categorized as a suicide attempt.
An "attempt" implies a failed effort.

Doesn't sound like he failed in his effort if he's dead.

In fairness to the person who wrote the story, a cop is quoted as saying it was a "suicide attempt." The writer didn't use that phrase.That said, this is a real tragedy. I wish the cook would have gottent the help he needed to avoid taking such drastic action. Thanks to those who tried to stop him.

Female in dress suspected in horrific school, home shootings in Canada that left 9 dead, 25 hurt


I wonder if we'll ever know why they felt the need to add "in dress"... what is behind that apparently extraneous and irrelevant piece of information taking up space in the headline

Mom says 12-year-old daughter 'fighting for her life' after Tumbler Ridge shooting


Quote:
While the RCMP have told media they have identified the shooter they described as “gun person,” they on Tuesday night said they had decided to not release the name.
A "gun person" huh... Never heard that one before. Wonder what's up with that language

Very unusual if it was actually a female since historically the shooters in these types of atrocities are overwhelmingly male.

A lot is riding on what you mean by "actually female"... According to Canadian authorities, this is "actually female." In my opinion, such use of words represents a vulgar denial of basic reality at the service of a reality-denying ideology.

An aspiring rapper is accused of throwing acid in a woman’s face. Prosecutors say his music video helped incriminate him

Imagine there's an active shooter and the authorities are issuing alerts about "a female in a dress" because they're terrified to run afoul of a linguistic taboo

This is like those Q&A sessions that beauty pageant contestants have to do, and the worst, most inarticulate answers go viral
