[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3865998, member: 41176"] This is not a mistake. It's a a method. It's to soften up the readers' opinion of the perpetrator...victimize him, or humanize him because he's forced by society to make these decisions. So putting in past tense an attempt to do something - "he tried", gives the reader the initial sense that he didn't really do anything, so "why" did he get shot? = victim Then the writer will follow up with the "suspect" rather than burglar or criminal and his action, but the seed has been planted in favor of the victim. It's Mockingbird Media doing what it does best, which is manipulate the fools and unsuspecting. [/QUOTE]
