It’s a good question.
I think at issue is which killings are acceptable under “normalcy”. Obviously soldier/spy deaths are OK, sex workers are OK to kill since they’re by definition sinners, work-related deaths are OK for low wage workers as long as the injury is not acute, accidental military slayings are OK outside of developed nations because of the “we tried” doctrine, black kids are OK because black folks have “opted in” by choosing to commit more crime than whites, First Nations people are ok because they opted out of U.S. sovereignty...*
I think some people feel journalist killings are fundamentally a violation of normalcy.
* not saying I agree with any of that, but this is the mainstream consensus
