Bet them boy's think twice before the just walk into a door unwanted!

 

[IndyGunner]

None of them was injured.

Grammar fail.

 

[NIFT]

None of them was injured.

Grammar fail.

Actually, the grammar is correct.
"None" is singular, and "of them" is a prepositional phrase, not the subject.
The singular predicate "was" is correct with the singular subject "None."

Picky, picky, picky!

The article really shows the media's (or in this case medium's) predilection on firearms.

"A break-in went awry for two men near downtown Fort Wayne." the first line in the story - a break in went "awry" - come on MSNBC! WTF! They broke into an occupied home! I hope to Sh*t it went "awry" for the poor, helpless dweebs. Someone was home and acted appropriately - too bad gun control didn't work and the two couldn't run away!

Then from alter in the article: "Police have not yet released the other victim's condition." Here's the corrected version: "Police have not yet released the other criminal's condition." How in the heck can MSNBC refer to these "target's" as "victims"????? They broke into an occupied home and the resident shot them! They should be thankful they aren't in the running for a Darwin award! VICTIMS -- puhleeeeze!

I agree 100%. If they had killed the family inside would they have started with "4 dead after a successful break-in by two men".

Victim my arse what ever happened to them being called perps?

Now you're just profiling

 

[roscott]

"Spooked them enough where they fled on foot???"

The homeowner shot them both, and they were spooked? Is MSNBC giving away awards for understatement?

 

[zqdime]

that happened very close to me. I'm looking to up the arsenal now.

 

[cburnworth]

All I can say is +1 for homeowner. -1 for perps. -1,000,000 for the media. Any perps come into my house will get shot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MSNBC? I'm surprised they didn't call the burglars "shooting victims". Oh, I guess they did. What bunch of liberal bunk.
