Murdered and killed have the same end result. Someone is dead. But the terms definitely are not interchangeable. It isn't elitism, or merely semantics. Words have meaning,...

This misunderstanding goes back a long way. There was a mistranslation of the original Hebrew of the Sixth Commandment which gave us the erroneous "Thou shalt not kill". This has been used by misguided moralists and naive pacifists for centuries to muddle the concepts of justice and resistance to tyranny.

The correct rendering is "Thou shalt not murder", and as you noted, the meaning and relevant applications of the terms are completely different.

Where is the so called “Freedom Warrior” poster now?

This is a perfect example of how criminals are adapating to make homeoners think no knocks are occuring.
