Was Tim McVeigh a homicide bomber? uh, yea. Seems he was tried for HOMICIDE, no? Suicide, by definition, and by clinical application, implies an intent to kill ONEself--NOT other people. You know this. Words are not funny; they are precise--when one familiarizes himself with denotations.

So, what does one call a person that intentionally kills OTHERS as well as themselves? Since there is only 1 self, and multiple 'others', it would appear that HOMICIDE bomber more accurately fits the bill.

You really need to read the ENTIRE thread, and address your LAST post to the person to whom I was responding--not me.
