Was the lady sitting in the wheelchair, or was the tent?!?

My favorite part of the whole thing was the single comma after "wheelchair". The writer must have realized how odd it sounded, and so he/she threw the comma in to make it sound better and it only went downhill from there. I was actually rather angry... I spent some time in journalism, and any copy editor worth their salt would have taken a look at that sentence and said "Uh, no. Fix that.", and yet in this case, for an AP story, no one did...

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
