They almost don't cover the legal aspects of the case. I think it is because the Professional Journalist™ class despises the very idea of self-defense. 'It takes kids down the wrong path' | Residents voice fears after deadly self-defense shooting in Warner Robins | 13-WMAZ
The Warner Robins Police Department said an overnight shooting on Ignico Drive that left an 18-year-old dead appeared to be in self-defense.
They don't say why the confrontation happened, but the shooter remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation.
Warner Robins, Georgia, is about a 20 mile drive south of Macon, or about a 100 mile drive south of Atlanta.
The article spends quite a bit of space on a line of thinking that basically boils down to "Neighbors were shocked."
The shooting has some longtime residents worried about what they see as a rise in violence.
"Some." Exactly why do the Professional Journalists™ believe that covering the feelings of a few people mean anything in relation to a story like this? "Some People" feel one way. "Some People" feel differently. What does that mean? Why are feelings important?
