Defending against a knife is a tad “easier” than being peng’d to death. Also there is that second amendment those Americans really really love. I don’t see any amendment regarding knives.
No but if could have legal consequences. Murder is used both colloquially and legally, and accusing someone of being a murderer or committing murder if they have not been found guilty at trial could be considered, when issued by a news agency of any kind especially, as libel. That’s why you see news agencies using the word “allegedly” all the time. Because legally speaking, they are innocent until proven guilty, even if they were caught red-handed.
What term would you use that’s more accurate than ‘fatally shoots’? The term ‘murdered’ would simply obfuscate the method of killing.
Why does the tool matter? Could easily do it with a knife
