    not all murderers are criminals, in fact I would say the worst weren’t

    whether or not the murder was legal is of no consequence

    this is like me saying “trans people are cool” and you replying with “actually blaire white is a fascist and she is trans”

    reactionary shit

      This is why in my opinion it is better to say people are unethical/immoral than ‘criminals’ when they do something genuinely harmful.

      Criminal is kind of a useless or neutral word if the point we want to get across is that someone actually did something heinous would do or is doing too, and I wish more people would recognise that.
