again, not what happened here
Imagine if a gun misfire accidentally killed 2 people and maimed 11 more and you were primarily concerned with correcting what people called it. We all know the difference between murder and manslaughter, smart guy. The difference between you and everyone else in here is that we don't think emotional nomenclature invalidates concern for the lives of others. Like just think a little bit harder for one second, because you've demonstrated already that you have the juice to do that: Maybe our use of incendiary and somewhat inaccurate language was intentional? Maybe there is a social strategy at play here? And maybe, if that rhetoric upset you more that the deaths did, then perhaps people like you were it's intended target.
