Nothing graphic in the link I provided, but cw: possible death, fascist violence. Be careful if you click videos related to this story, there is some graphic bloody scenes in the vehicles in videos circling around.

NSFL (CW: Murder): This is the video where the driver was trying to drive away and they shot and killed her trying to escape, she was acting as a legal observer. https://bsky.app/profile/danielsuitor.com/post/3mbtzlfajm227
ICE is already trying to set the narrative that she was trying to run them over, this is false, this video is proof of that. Don’t let them lie.
Not to be a grammar nazi but I thought the Onion had editors
Seems like intentionally awkward headline grammar to me (“what it already doing”, right?), unless I’ve missed something.
(Similar to the one below, “Yo-Yo Ma Finally Works Up Courage To Tell Parents He Quitting Cello”, which sounds even worse)
But it’s not truncated sentences it a missing verb
I agree that it’s inelegant, but I still think it’s intentional. Then again, I’m enough of an Onion zealot that I probably can’t be trusted on this.
This specific example bothered me the last time I saw it linked somewhere, but with that additional example you gave I started looking for more and saw on the side “Area Man Knows When He Not Welcome In Children’s Museum”.
They seem to be intentionally skipping the word “is” in their headlines??
It is called headlinese and is not peculiar to The Onion.
