While I fully agree w your sentiment the legal definition of “murder” is not what you’re implying it is.

  imagine not being able to separate a colloquialism with a legal definition dont you think thats the most useless rebuttal? everyone knows that the context was “randomly killed without cause” not “do the courts count that kind of random killing without cause to be a crime of the killer” colloquially, people say “murder” for emphasis, to emphasize their disdain for the action It isnt productive to say “welllllll murder legally means” when the lowest hanging fruit is really to discuss their sentiment

    Simply asserting that it’s possible to discuss an important issue without cheapening it w hyperbole.

      Given how frequent that is with regard to the word murder, I wouldn't be surprised if the definition in all official dictionaries gets updated to include “vehement disapproval and acknowledgment of a killing regardless of legality” Actually I’ll petition for that right now, since the stewards of those dictionaries probably noticed that context too and would be willing to do their part so that less conversations get auto-derailed

  It's "felony murder".
