3 killed, and 8 wounded in a shooting at a cockfight in Texas!
WHAT???
Does this stuff really happen? The cockfight that is, not the shootings.
I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised, when there are still those who breed and fight dogs as well.
The strange part of that story today was the following sentence; "Masked gunmen killed three men and wounded eight others when they opened fire on an illegal cockfighting ring in southern Texas, the local sheriff said Thursday."
Oh, and ILLEGAL cockfighting ring. As opposed to the legal ones in South Dakota?
It's odd, but what I find is the media uses the word "illegal" to describe actions and things which are not quite mainstream illegal activities. It's as if the reader would not know that cock fights or dog fights are actually illegal.
You don't often read about the arrest of "illegal" drug traffickers. Or that they found a stash of "illegal" marijuana!
We already know it's illegal, they don't need to tell us.
Why am I writing about this subject today? No reason other than it struck me as a little funny.
