Man arrested in slaying of 16-year-old cheerleader found dead in bathtub of Texas apartment - Lemmy.World

Police have arrested a suspect in the killing of a 16-year-old cheerleader who was found dead by her mother in her bathtub earlier this week in Edna, Texas. The Edna Police Department located the suspect, identified as Rafael Romero, on Saturday in Schulenburg, Texas. The Texas Rangers, who investigate major violent crime as part of the state’s Department of Public Safety, arrested Romero for capital murder — which makes the suspect eligible for the death penalty if convicted — and took him to the Jackson County Jail.

OP, I know it’s not your fault (probably) but that title makes it seem like the killer was found dead. If you had reformatted like: “Man arrested in connection with slain cheerleader foud dead in her mother’s bathtub” it could have been made a little more clear. It isn’t actually important to the story that the cheerleader was found in the bathtub and the title would have been much easier to understand without that bit of trivial information.

Yeah titles weird, but can’t be changing it to post it even if it’s to make more sense. Everyone would be claiming that to sensationalize every post.

Of course you can change it

In the pursuit of truth and honesty, no, no title should be edited when posting articles. Unless there’s an egregious error.

The rule says it can be edited and it will not be deleted if the title represents the article properly.

And who gets to decide it represents it properly? A mods opinion, you know what removes doubt and bias, just not changing it.

But that’s not what the rule says. Yes, I guess a mod does, okay?

There is bias in the title as it misrepresents, so…

There’s not a bias, there’s a miscommunication.

What bias is it telling you?

Its the intent of the rule.

The intent is clear, don’t edit the intention, it does say it can be edited and you can ignore the auto warning. Just stop already, it’s boring.
