So what's your all's feeling on not calling the people shot victims
|
The word "Victim" implies the GUILT of another party. Its not appropriate to a fair trial. Its meant to prejudice the jury.
OK,MG, lets imagine you are home,on your computer,posting onTFL.
Your door is kicked in. An athletic 6 ft 4 in wild eyed person with a Katana rushes you ,sword raised above his head.
It just so happens you have a loaded 1911 next to your computer mouse.
You are quick an accurate with 4 rounds and he drops and dies.
The whole thing seems clear cut to you,but the prosecutor decides a trial is in order.
Is it appropriate,or fair to you,for the Prosecutor to refer to the late Mr Attacker as "Victim?"
How would YOU feel about that?
It would seem more accurate to describe the people KR shot as "Attackers" according to my perception of the event.
Now,if KR shot wildly,and an innocent person was accidently hit,I'd call that person a "Victim"
If KR just decided to chop down any masked person dressed in black, I'd call them "Victims"
But the guy who tried to bash KR with a skateboard, is an assaillant,not a victim. Remember,KR was trying to retreat .
So,MG, Are you sympathetic to the people rioting,smashing glass,burning out businesses,throwing molotov cocktails at police cars ,looting,and beating down old people with MAGA hats?
I'm just trying to understand the folks who want to lynch KR.

If you object to the words I chose to state my case, I might have made my point. The words seem unfair when YOU are on the receiving end.
To use the word "Victim" in KR's SD case is akin to asking "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?"
