Identifying and Eliminating Bias

From what I read, the bias was the details of what the teens used to help the victim, where the attack happened and possibly the victims (victim’s) name. However, the unethical use of information is putting the details of what happened in the story. Even though the kid’s names were not mention, reporting what they did to save the man’s life is illegal. Stating where the man worked, is illegal as the company can unjustly fire him, as he is now a liability to the company. The teenager that stabbed the man in the neck could be charged for attempted murder, even if they were saving another person’s life. Another teen could also be charged for assault with a deadly weapon after hitting the attacker with the crowbar.

The beating took place inside a warehouse between 2:00 am and 2:30 am when local teens called 911. According to the police report, the teens, whose names are being withheld at this time, said they were “hanging out” in the warehouse when they heard the victim’s cries for help. Ignoring their own safety, the teens rushed to the man’s aid where they fended off the attacker.

“It sounded like he was getting beat to death—like the [attacker] was never going to stop,” one teen said.

The police report goes on to say that one teenager hit the attacker with a blunt object, while another called 911. A third teenager helped defend the victim while yet another teenager took a picture of the attacker with her cellphone just before he fled the scene.

The photo has been given to the police who are hoping to be able to use it to catch the suspect and...
