the missing word bothers me, too. It also got killed in an intersection on its way to work, to show up in this meme.

    Not a native speaker but for me it sounds fine. The “are now” is left out because it would be repeated if that makes sense.

    “The people, [who were] tied to them, [are now] killed in a crosswalk.”

        So that’s the missing word everyone is bothered by. It wasn’t in the post but in a low level comment. What an unexpected but well executed pay-off!
