patch butchers a crime story, thereby making it unintelligible; when a real crime writer makes an English-language suggestion, its bot auto blocks him

"According to police, a 15-year-old boy was approached by three suspects who attempted to rob him."

“A fight broke on the southbound 7 platform, and one of the suspects took out a knife and slashed the 15-year-old boy in the hand.”

No “fight broke.” Here’s an English-language version.

“According to police, a 15-year-old boy was approached by three” perps “who attempted to rob him.”

The boy defended himself on the southbound 7 platform, “and one of the” perps “took out a knife and slashed” him in the hand.

See? That wasn’t hard.

“Your comment was rejected. [Immediately!] Why?”

I'm amazed spics want to be in northern U.S. cities with all the cold weather. I wonder why. It isn't natural for them.
