I’m not saying that you should click through to the website from which I took this screenshot. In fact, I’m very much suggesting that you don’t do that, because it’s really not a very nice place.
But it does deliver on the headlines from time to time. And this is one of those times.
Kidnapping is never a nice thing, and can have terrible effects. But I’d never heard of hostages turning into kidnappers. That’s like Stockholm Syndrome gone mad.
Well, yes, I guess I am sort of coming around to your way of thinking.
And I’m going to demonstrate that by kidnapping someone as well.
When does it end? Hostages taking hostages taking hostages taking hostages?
Pretty soon, the police are only going to have to search the biggest buildings in town because there’s simply not room for all of the hostage’s hostage’s hostages to be hidden anywhere else.
Just another example of an incompetent reporter putting “getting the story out” over “the correct use of basic English”.
