Dunno, they haven’t released the identity of the “victim” so we don’t know who the driver killed.
I’m not going to go so far as to condone this dad’s behavior, but I can definitely understand it. Police are never held accountable; what else is there to expect than the spread of vigilante violence if the law won’t give us justice?
Even if the deputy that was hit didn’t pull the trigger, they’re part of the institution that’s the problem. So the logic of the dad to target a deputy, even if they aren’t the one that shit his kid, makes sense in a way. I’m sure eventually we’ll know if this deputy was the one who killed the father’s 18 year old son.
There is a whole part of journalism dedicated to writing headlines, and I can tell you it’s some of the most fucked up literally rules I have seen in my life.
Damn, I know everyone else said it too but honestly wtf is this travesty you’ve written. It’s an affront to the comma and maybe to punctuation everywhere. Hell, your “correction” might be an ungodly abomination born of the netherworld sent to break our poor brains.
While your certainly sounds better with the word choice in the headline, it doesn’t reflect the actual facts of events.
“Father of an 18 year old,” establishes the father as the subject, and the 18 year old as a specifying factor. So the the rest of the sentence states, it was the father who was “fatally shot by Ohio police” and “charged with hitting and killing deputy”. It’s still unclear if it was the father or the deputy who was “with car”.
Where as my commas separate the facts accurately. Their strangeness comes from the extremely poor word choice and order of facts in the headline.
“Father of,” establishes the father as the subject. “18 year old fatally shot by Ohio police,” is together a single specifier. “charged with hitting and killing deputy,” states what happened to the father. And finally “, with car” is what the father used, to hit and kill the deputy.
Bunch of fucking tweakers doing tweaker shit and the cops have to chase them.
edit: yeah, ACAB but you motherfuckers do know that there is a subset of people out there doing crimes like car theft and shit, right? The citizens in this case don’t seem to be all that upstanding.
If he had done in the cop that shot his son I’d be more inclined to agree. But he picked a rando. ACAB but not all of them deserve death because not all of them shoot people for little to no reason.
This was a very confusing headline. It sounded like they were charging a dead person.
Bottom line is:
Hopefully he got the one who killed his son?
Removed by mod
ACAB after all. Even if he didn’t fire, they enable and protect each others murder of civilians, and their pet dogs.

Why can’t some headline writers use comas?
Father of, 18 year old fatally shot by Ohio police, charged with hitting and killing deputy, with car
Have you ever used a comma before
Yah. Just used it 3 times.
“Today I choose violence” punctuation edition.
That is arguably worse
Calm your shit Shatner
Going into a coma does not make you a better journalist, and neither does having a stroke
Headlines aren’t usually written by journalists.
Especially at big shops like this.
And I hate golf.
Don’t call me Shirley!
Whoever taught you how to use commas needs their teaching license revoked because that is probably the worst attempted use of commas I’ve ever seen.

This reminds me of that chapter in Flowers for Algernon.
That is not at all how you use commas. You’ve broken your clauses.
Father of 18 year old, fatally shot by Ohio police, charged with hitting and killing deputy with car.
That would be correct. Good ACT question lol.

No. The subject is the father yes, but you can’t cut off the “of” that way.
But using those words you’d have to, to establish that it isn’t actually the father who was shot, but the 18 year old.
The terrible use commas comes from the terrible word choice. Rewriting the entire sentence would be the best option.

One dead dude, one dead pig. Call it even?
Which is a valid reason to use lethal force?
Yes, for the father to use lethal force on the corrupt racist deputy is a totally valid reason.
If he had done in the cop that shot his son I’d be more inclined to agree. But he picked a rando. ACAB but not all of them deserve death because not all of them shoot people for little to no reason.
