How to avoid, misusing modifiers.

How misused modifiers, can hurt your writing.



How to correct the sentence, to give it accurate semantic meaning. Insert commas! Divide up each segment of syntax.

Robbers, who steal chocolate bunnies,rapidly attract, the outrage of onlookers.

The relevant right position always gives the semantic meaning, unless the segment of syntax is then rhemed, and moved to the relevant left to highlight, and topicalize it, through  hyperbatten, (each segment of grammar, syntax can be topicalized), and so you just need to start with, dividing the sentence up into its segments of syntax, and put a comma in between each, and the relevant right position, that is modifying it, and giving it, its semantic interpretation, insert a comma.

 You do not have to topicalize it to the front, relevant left, passivizing it, unless, you want to highlight or feature, the focus, of the sentence, as to who or what is causing the action to happen.

That, is what should be topicalized, to the relevant left, through using hyperbatten, and rheming it.
