Well, I don't think you can yield a noun. You can yield to a noun, for example: "The attacker yielded to his intended target after being punched in the face a few times."
Pretty sure the moron who wrote this meant to say wield. This is NOT a typo- note how far the w and y keys are from each other.
Simply reading the sentence you provided, it sounds like a 23 year old ran on stage, WIELDING a gun with a knife somehow hidden inside of it. This makes no sense no matter how you reshuffle the sentence, it's gibberish. An English speaker can probably get some of the intended meaning from it, but the person who wrote this is supposed to be a professional journalist, right?
Why was I more professional as my high school's newspaper editor than this grown adult working for the fucking daily mail?
I yield the floor!
It gets worse, the journalist is even more of a moron because it's not a knife that was inside a gun, it's a knife with a gun-shaped grip.
jewTuber commenter called it a "trans gunife" weapon. My sides....
It must be pre-op since it didn't have the front hole yet.
In a spur of the moment defensive situation, something that looks like a gun is going to get treated like a gun. Having a gun looking thing in your hand (not sure if it was in his hand) is going to get a much stronger reaction than just a knife.
I fail to see how the shape of the knife's grip is a relevant detail in this story. Who-What-When-Where-Why: this is basic journalism.
Who: some insane 23 year old and Dave Chappelle. What: An attack on stage. When: Idk, the other night? Where: Idk, some fucking comedy club? Why: Because niggers.
Literally nothing else should be reported on, except perhaps the attacker's criminal history. It doesn't matter if the knife was shaped like a dildo, it's just a knife and that's all that truly matters- a sharp piece of metal meant to take a life.
Yeah exactly, it's irrelevant but ALSO just 100% wrong. There was no gun. Which of course, the retard (((journalist))) got completely wrong, probably to push gun bans, kek.
Just because I love to argue. Yeilding is a thing. "Hey undertheshills why is that car stopped in the merge lane?" Said BloodyComet "Because that faggot is yielding when he should be merging" undertheshills replied.
Right, but you don't yield a noun. You yield to a noun. The faggot is yielding to undertheshills (pronoun in this case) when he should be merging.
The speaker is yielding the floor- to the other congressmen.
This summer my farm will yield more wheat than my neighbor's.
Still, dumbshit writer or perhaps they are using speech to text to write some things these days.
