The title says it all From: MO <hwsoh99@yahoo.com> Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2001 11:06:00 -0700 (PDT) To: local@sptimes.com, letters@sptimes.com Subject: Funeral Director Shooting Article Dear Sir: I am very disappointed in the headline you chose regarding the attack on Funeral Director John Harmon III. Exchange of bullets hospitalizes teen Hit by return fire, he is in serious condition. A funeral home owner shot in the shoulder goes to work the next day. By KATHRYN WEXLER St. Petersburg Times, published August 15, 2001 http://www.sptimes.com/News/081501/TampaBay/Exchange_of_bullets_h.shtml From the main headline you would think it is TWO thugs fighting it out, rather than a law-abiding citizen protecting his life and property against a vicious mugger. Heck, you could even think that the law-abiding citizen tried to mug the teen. Here is my suggestion for a more honest and truthful headline: Armed Citizen protects own life - illegally armed mugger hospitalized or, try this.... Citizen protects life, property with legal firearm. or maybe... Armed mugger shot by Armed Citizen - Citizen returns to work, mugger in hospital even this is better... Cowardly teen attacks citizen - teen hospitalized after citizen protects himself Please try to do better by your readers by promoting articles in an open, honest, and truthful manner.
