Thats.... a wealth of assumptions. What youve detailed assumes a ton about the motive, but you didnt even detail a sport killing. Killing someone "to meet an emotional need" isnt killing for sport.
Youre also assuming that she knew pushing the lady over would be lethal, and that she started an argument with the express intent of justifying lethally shoving her.
She was drunk, bud. A drunk person incorrectly assuming a passer by is insulting them in some way and starting a fight over that assumption is so common its a writing stereotype.
Angrily starting a drunken argument on the street and then getting violent isnt killing for sport.
And, like.... yeah if she had a murder weapon it sure would be different. If she had done it sober at 8 in the morning it would be different too.
E: it feels kinda dumb the say "thats not killing for sport" without saying why. Sport killing is killing for the fun of it. Like, intentionally hunting someone down and killing because you enjoy making someone die. Theres no evidence publicly available that she shoved the victim because she wanted to kill her, for the purpose of personal enjoyment.
Oh honey. I'm not your bud. Being drunk doesn't make it ok to hurt or kill vulnerable people. Just because it's a trope doesn't make it ok... you.. you know that, right? I'm worried that you don't know that.
I kinda thought this was an ordinary conversation, but pretending youre insulted by bud and playing stupid that you think that knowing what killing for sport means must mean I think that this was a justified act.... are you okay? Did you take a few hits of something in the past hour?
You understand that wrongful death is still a crime even when its not killing for sport, yes? Do I need to, like, walk you through every way a person can kill another person, and reassure you that each one is also bad?
Or are you gonna make up more baseless nonsense about how this lady secretly plotted and hunted a total stranger who she machiavellian-esquely knew would be outside the bar, just for the thrill?
That's.... a lot of assumptions, bud.
Kinda ironic, I guess.
Were you ever gonna elaborate on how you are so sure she killed out of premeditated glee, or are you hoping that just goes under the rug
My least favorite thing about forum users is when they think they have some entitlement to having their bad faith questions answered. It's just gross. It's a gross feeling. You know perfectly well that there isn't a legal definition of "sport killing humans." So you're here to provide your own definition, that is different to mine and waggle your cock around pronouncing yourself the king of correctness. Gross.
Notice how you had to add "humans" to that? Since there is a definition for "sport killing," which is "to kill for pleasure"?
Is it gross that you claimed a woman intentionally killed someone for fun, despite you having zero reason to even suspect that? Yeah, its gross as hell.
Is it gross that when you were questioned on your insane theory that this was a pleasure driven intentional murder, you pretended that I must think the death was justified and not a crime? Yeah, its fucking disgusting.
You are attributing cruel intent to a human beings death. Thats very very very fucked up. And it solidifies my point of system reform, because you want to make up stories about a stranger to justify punishing her more. And when questioned, you freak the fuck out, rather than stopping and asking yourself " huh, why did I make up a motive that justified more punishment?"
But Im gross? Thats a riot. Get your priorities straight.
You are just all frothy about this aren't you? (Also gross)
Its fascinating how immediately you begin doing the things you accused me of.
So froth. Very rage.
