Misplaced modifier of the week, from John Kass’s column in last Thursday’s Chicago Tribune:

Go read the column. It’s about how a single man, who confronts a suspicious character, is being persecuted by the authorities who know that prosecution and trial are but one “tool” in their toolbox to breaking someone.
