Yes if placed into this context I agree, but coming off of the back of her comment about Martin being murdered after the verdict was given of not guilty, I am thinking she was being insightful in her speak, but she couldn't help it, as she is surrounded by an entire group of people who have bitten of this apple in which they are all now chewing on.Trayvon had a good family network from age 5 to 15 though his step mom
she was for all purpose his mother
at 15 he was yanked out of that environment and left to run the streets
with little to no parental intervention in regards to his whereabouts and associates
and every time he got into "trouble" he was sent from one parent to the other
so maybe it is a wise piece of advice to hold on to your children
pay attention to what they are doing and who they are hanging out with
be the parent
not to put too fine a point on it yet every time someone is killed it is murder. what the question is whether or not it's justifiable murder or not. we now just call it homicide
That's not a fine point. It isn't a point at all. It's a dull.
And it's wrong.
All "murder" IS killing, but not all killing is murder.
By definition, murder is the wrongful taking of life. If you are (without any valid reason) attempting to plunge a knife into my heart, and I engage in self defense and shoot you right between your eyes, you will (presumably) die. And my actions and I would have caused your death. Thus, I would have killed you. But since it is an act of self defense, it would be justified. It would not be "wrongful." So, it would not be "murder."
Words still have meaning.
