Nance's prior arrest records indicated that he was previously arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon involving a woman.

It needs to be specified if you discharge your weapon and a woman is involved? Because that's...a different charge than if a man is involved? What if it's a woman discharging the weapon? Still phrased like this? What a weird thing to write.

- It implies a domestic dispute rather than, like a bar fight.

  Right, because bars are man only.

- No. They are saying that he was previoualy arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon and that the aforementioned incident involved a woman.

- Would you have been happier if it had said, "Nance’s prior arrest records indicated that he was previously arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon involving a person?" Because that sounds awkward to me.

  Aggravated discharge implies involving another person so that wouldn't be said. It feels like something is being hinted at - likely domestic violence - without being explicitly said for some reason. I think that's the weirdness being commented on. If it was domestic violence why not say that? But if not that what is being hinted at?
  
  It's probably overthinking, but this is the internet.

  Why not just end the sentence with the word "weapon"? That's the important part.

  I think that they're saying that the person is implied, aggravated discharge of a weapon with no person involved is just target practice.

- They probably would have specified if it was a man, too.
  
  You're making up things to be upset about.

JOLIET, Ill. (CBS) -- Eight people were found shot and killed in three different locations over two days in Joliet, and the suspect in the slayings was also found dead by a suspected suicide 1,200 miles away Monday night, police said.

The apparent self-inflicted gunshot death of 23-year-old Romeo Nance in Texas followed a manhunt by multiple law enforcement agencies.

Yikes.

- I want to reply "What a dumb comment" to you, but maybe I'm the one who's missing something. Explain to me what you were trying to say in your comment

  Don’t mess with Texas is an anti littering slogan that got co-opted when people forgot where it started

  Oh shit, it was deleted by a moderator! “Mess with the best, die like the rest” is a quote from the movie “Hackers”, and ZeroCool was the hackers name in the movie. It also is OPs username. I thought the quote was relevant to the post as well
