Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis late Monday gave former President Trump and 18 co-defendants until Aug. 25 at noon to voluntarily surrender in Georgia following an indictment that unveiled multiple charges in connection to their attempts to interfere in the 2020 election.
First Paragraph:
That’s basically exactly what the headline says:
The word “WILL” is your own and is NOT in the headline, if they don’t do it voluntarily by that time, they will be arrested. So they are supposed to surrender voluntarily, if they don’t, the alternative is worse.
The article headline is spot on. How you (ATM) get 14 upvotes for your wrongful criticism is weird???
“Jack to jump out of airplane” is a valid title. In titles you can shorten “will” to “to” and remove words like “an”.
So it’s an easy mistake to make.
Yes that’s true.
But in this case it would be with an or else appended. You will surrender or else…
That’s still a bit of an overinterpretation of what the headline actually says.
Don’t remember that rule from the Chicago Manual. Where’d you get it?
There is an indictment, is it not normal that if people don’t respond to that, they are arrested by the court?
Yeah, if they are in the state or deemed a fugitive of justice, in which case a warrant can be served out of state upon application to the foreign state.
Because it’s not spot on. ‘To’ in this context means will. There’s no implied ‘gave’ except for what you inferred.
The person who wrote the headline specifically wrote it in a way that makes it sound Trump and his co-defendants were going to voluntarily turn themselves in because, “DA tells Trump he needs to turn himself in” isn’t going to get clicks.
