Misleading headline of the day

1 injured in East Nashville shooting

East Nashville, regular readers may recall, is the “up and coming” and “hip” neighborhood where twenty-something white kids move in next to crack houses and the projects because it’s cool, or something. Crime is rampant, and shootings occur daily. So the hipster businesses ban carry permit holders.

I really clicked on the story to see what part of East this was in, but…

Authorities told Nashville’s News 2 a man was in front of the complex when he was approached by a man armed with a handgun.
Police said the man shot the suspect, who was wearing a ski mask at the time, in self defense.

Well, that’s a horse of a different color! Good for the victim!

More stories like this and the crime rate in that neighborhood might actually go down!

    That whole story is misleading. They make it sound like the guy with the gun walked up and shot the perp- who just by CHANCE was wearing a ski mask. Bottom of story- robbery may have been involved.
