Vaguely reminiscent of the movie The Big Miracle.

>Gershkovich has lived in Moscow for about six years, covering events in Russia and Ukraine for the Wall Street Journal.

What nationality is he? Russian?

Edit. Per CNN, he's a U.S. citizen.

The sun is scary while also being our primary life giver.

Is this related to India's caste system?

Wikipedia says, "Oberlin College is a private liberal arts college"! 🤣

Fiction disclaimers on fictional works are important.

Calling Diamond Ranch Academy a "boarding school" is like calling Juvenile Hall the Ritz Carlton.

>The engineer, who lives on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, “is still in shock and keeps asking why” he was wounded, the lawyer added.

How sad.

Are autopsy results available yet?

It appears that this camp is a place that systematically abuses kids:

Obviously you and I disagree about the article being cookie cutter. "no clue"? If you have trouble understanding the journalism pattern, then perhaps you should rest and reread to digest again? Maybe even a sleep cycle to refresh your mind?

>Academy officials said they are awaiting the autopsy results to know exactly what happened before releasing more information publicly.

>That is also the position from Hurricane Police. Raddatz said due to the nature of the incident and the investigation being open, no other information would be released including the identity of the girl.

>“The Hurricane City Police Department extends our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of the student, the staff and students at the school, as well as the first responders involved with this incident,” Hurricane Police said in a statement released to the media.

Too many words. And the police have a position? Weird word choice. stgeorgeutah.com ?

Why didn't they just stick to the facts? Instead they went on and on with concern and apology, then to say they're not gonna provide more info when that is exactly what they have done. That's what I mean by the article seeming off, it's an unusual news-writing pattern.

If the parents are abusive, they probably wouldn't want mental health care, they might become a subject of investigation.

This article seems off somehow, immediate action was taken, she was "well-loved", condolences offered, but not gonna release more information.

>Officials with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said the decision to euthanize the beloved big cat was made after veterinarians determined it had a skull fracture and chronic illnesses including a skin infection and diseases of the kidneys and liver.

Euthanasia would seem an easier death than a natural one.

humorous headline!

It's been reported elsewhere that wild animal populations are declining. It seems they're trying to improve the health of the remaining animals that feed on dead rats, due to the widespread movement of rat poisons through the animal food chain.

>I'll quote your reply to the other commenter:

>>Reversing the sequential order made more sense to my mind as a reader, that's all.

>That's just a dodge, and it's obvious to everyone, which is why that comment is sitting at -7 when I'm typing this. What's the "sense" it's making to you?

>I'm done with this discussion. It's already obvious to everyone with eyes that you're commenting in bad faith, and I'm tired of this.

I'm not commenting in bad faith, I've been abused by you.

>So what were you trying to say if you weren't trying to mislead? I suppose you're hoping that nobody reading your replies notices the fact that you keep avoiding saying what your point was in picking those specific paragraphs out of their context and reversing their order. How about instead of coming up with imagined flaws in me, you do that?

I wrote that answer to another poster (Sheppex) in the same subthread.

On the subject of "imagined" flaws, upthread you said,

>Combining them that way only makes sense if you're trying to falsely imply that Diane Allen is the "whistleblower"

The two paragraphs in question clearly say they're two different people, "Diane Allen, a retired lieutenant colonel" and in regard to the whistleblower, "dismissed from service". "Dismissed" does not equal "retired"!

At best, your charge that I was falsely implying they were the same person was flawed reasoning on your part, at worst it was an intentional lie.

> What other purpose could cherrypicking two unrelated paragraphs from a long article and arranging them in a misleading way possibly serve?

If I was trying to mislead, then I would not have openly disclosed that I reversed their order! Among your other personal shortcomings, it seems you have flawed reasoning.

>Since most people won't read the article and might fall for your bullshit:

My bullshit?

>Combining them that way only makes sense if you're trying to falsely imply that Diane Allen is the "whistleblower" being talked about in the second paragraph and is therefore supposedly being dishonest for selfish reasons.

That was not my thought at all, and I disagree with your interpretation. I've tagged you as a liar.

Reversing the sequential order made more sense to my mind as a reader, that's all. Regarding your other questions and/or observations, I don't know.

I'm reversing the order of two paragraphs,

>Last year, Diane Allen, a retired lieutenant colonel from the British Army, said the military needed its own Me Too moment, referring to the movement which saw people share their experiences of sexual harassment.

>...

>The whistleblower who told the Mail she was sexually assaulted by a man of a higher rank as she slept no longer serves in the navy. She was dismissed from service over a separate incident and given a suspended prison sentence for disclosing classified information that compromised security.

Killing kids, what a picture that paints of Iran's leadership.
