Murder is rather easy to define. There is a dead body with holes in his/her head, there is a murder. The tragedy being that murder is way more prevalent in the black community, partly because of underpolicing.
- DoreenMichele 7y agoI wouldn't be so fast with that assertion. If your life is a cesspit and you can count on the authorities to be part of the problem, where does murder end and self defense begin? See the song "I shot the sheriff." I'm most familiar with the Eric Clapton version, but googling it recently suggests to me it was originally written by Bob Marley. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Shot_the_Sheriff https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Shot_the_Sheriff
- andrewprock 7y agoThis is a rather naive understanding. For example, there were nearly 3000 deaths in the 9/11 attacks, and about 4800 soldiers have died in the subsequent war with Iraq. There are plenty of dead bodies with holes in their heads, but it's not clear how one accounts for crime among those 7800 dead.
