  Which is funny because he admitted to it.

  I think this is one situation where liberals and conservatives both have some empathy for the guy.

  I don’t condone the murder but I understand what drove him that that direction.

  While I’ve never been screwed over by an insurance company. It seems I am the exception to the rule.

  The stories that are coming out are horrible.

    I suspect that’s because kill is often used as a synonym for murder, and pulling a trigger with the intent and result of ending a person’s life is not necessarily murder, that needs to be proven in court.

    Imo, the denotation of “kill” is actually neutral, but it’s got a pretty rough connotation.

      Even homicide is neutral but people think it means murder. This kid may have caused our healthcare revolution. We will see.
