This is a really well-written and detailed article. Sad story but I believe the writer did a great job of portraying the situation. I think the writer did a great job getting credible quotes. Although the lead was kind of long, I think that it was a very strong lead.
This article covered who, what, when, where, why, and how. Since it covered all of these areas, I did not really have any questions left unanswered. The only question I really had was if Henry Ruggs’ girlfriend was injured because they did not really say much about that.
Although it is very devastating, it is a very well-detailed and written story.
Lots of long sentences. The girlfriend was slightly injured and plans to file charges against Ruggs as well.
Do you think there should be a standard way of dealing with stories like this? Stories where someone does something incredibly stupid?
