      "...a 17-year-old with a loaded rifle being dropped into that powder keg can only happen when..." This is why I tell my writing students that the passive voice should immediately make you wonder what the writer is trying *not* to say.

      Or, in some cases, when the writer does not have a sufficient basis in the available evidence to put a subject ahead of the object. eg, if a bomb goes off & you don't know who set it.

      The boy was not "dropped in" to a situation, Dan. He got a gun and drove and went and found it. There is no way to defend this passage as "well, who can say, really?" We know this as a fact.

      What we know for a fact is the best way to appear on the right side of some hot button subject is to find a side point to take a virtuous stand on and avoid the actual topic. What voice is that, Tom?

      You can't even read a byline, maybe work on that before your next class.

      Good point. Not sure why I'm dumping on you instead of @LeonHWolf

      Just asking again, since we're all now back on the same page: Why say "dropped in" when he went looking for trouble? I mean, it's still bad writing. Do we disagree here?

      Why don’t you say “he/they went looking for trouble” about the other guys?

      The situation resulted from multiple people making independent choices to go looking for trouble.
