Obviously done as bait. Fuck them, no click.
I think it is traditional newspaper language.
For instance to "kill a story" or "catch and kill".
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_and_kill
I think they expect most people to get that.
That is not the same as "[name] killed".
You're right and that's not what's written there. It is "killed [object/action]" i.e. the endorsement.
To me this thread sounds more like ragebait than the original title.
