A "fatal person"! Good lord Jen, I can't believe you graduated from Columbia.
Note to self -- go home and burn CU diploma tonight -- it's clearly not worth anything any longer.
@MidCFrank--FWIW, I'm using terminology straight from the Newsmap: http://gothamist.com/labs/map
Well the cops don't know how to write -- so fix it!
Furthermore, what is the point of the newsmap? Unless you send a reporter and find out details, the information is basically useless. I am always curious about "unusual incidents" and other intriguing titles, but we never learn the real story.
i agree, a fatal person makes no sense whatsoever
MidCFrank (& all other grammar/spelling nazis) before you post about errors, take a minute & go go fuck yourself & spare us your drivel.
i am going to go ahead and agree with zodak
I guess only Muslims get prosecuted under the Patriot Act for poor judgment.
..."federal prosecutors and FBI agents do not believe Nobles was bent on terrorism, but, at the very least, displayed poor judgment."
the incident is "person struck by a train" and it was "fatal", just like when the police say fatal "car accident"
You nitpicky dbags need to give up the free starbucks wifi and get yourselves some lives.
"Fatal person" is perfect. It has so many layers and that's exactly what I look for in a sub-educable cop's childish handwriting.
