Chicago Tribune: What's Wrong with this Sentence?

[FullCountNotRecount]

"Naperville police Monday were investigating a rash of soda-pop bottle bomb explosions in the last week that have destroyed three mailboxes and injured two children."

THE MAILBOXES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN CHILDREN GETTING INJURED. ALL YOUR MEDIA OUTLETS HAVE BEEN PLACING THE MAILBOXES AHEAD OF THE CHILDREN. COME ON!

1. Three is MORE than 2!

eom

[BattyDem]

2. The mailboxes

were destroyed - the children were only injured :eyes:

The American media has never been known for it's compassion. These vultures routinely shove cameras into the faces of victims' families and ask, "How do you feel about your loved one being viciously mutilated before finally being killed?" :mad:

[JVS]

3. Destoying mailboxes is a federal offense

[StopThief]

4. Perhaps. . . .

the children were injured from the mailboxes exploding. It would therefore be the cause followed by the effect, which would be a logical order of a sentence.

[7th_Sephiroth]

5. Because

The media cares more about the mailboxes that thier papers are delivered to than the children who give them no money.

[slackmaster]

6. Because there were more mailboxes than children affected?

And three is greater than two, except for very large values of two.

[izzie]

7. I would think they would start with children hurt.

Then writing is not my thing.
