I think most interestingly is "... (The reason: While people may commit a single homicide accidentally or in self-defense,..." homicide would be unlawful killing, so now I'm curious, is this per incident... as in, imagine someone had to kill two individuals at once in self defense, would they be banned from facebook?
sidebar: I have had my facebook deleted since 09/2015 so I may not be the key audience ever of facebook. Also, I am not condoning deadly force used legally or illegally, I am just curious as more of a thought experiment.
- gnarbarian 8y agoKey word there is convicted. Homocide in certain situations can be legal. Killing someone in self defense is legal (in the us). Another example of homicide with no fault to you would be someone jumping out in front of your car. Neither case would normally yield a conviction or even a case. Also homicide is different than murder. Murder implies intent.

- yial 8y agoI don’t disagree with you, and I am pretty sure you’re 100% correct. I think my confusion started to stem from my in browser dictionary and googles dictionary service which both throws and “unlawful” in the definition, coupled with the self defense part... and that I hadn’t had any coffee yet it made it very hard for me to parse.
- JshWright 8y agoHomicide is not necessarily unlawful. It simply means someone was killed by another Homo sapiens. There are all sorts of situations where that could occur lawfully.
- yial 8y agoThis is where I become confused; your definition seems to align with Wikipedia, but my in browser dictionary and googles dictionarh Service both include an “unlawful”.
