We also have a tendency to list defensive killings with homicide and the left refuses to accept the distinction. What America probably does have is the highest defensive shooting rate in the world and that’s a good thing.
Here’s a local example that looks like it will be ruled a justified shooting.
I also am (was) acquainted with a man who was stabbed to death by his wife on Saturday. Looks like she was severely beaten first so it will probably be ruled a justifiable homicide.
It's true that "homicide" is a confusing word, unless you're being careful. And anti-gun nuts have no interest in care or truth. A defensive killing is a homicide—one person killing another. It's a justifiable one. Accidental killings are also homicides, as are murders. Murders are the homicides you punish. Got that, liberals?
