Murder is the *deliberate* taking of human life. No it's not. If that were the correct definition, then killing deliberately in self defense, state executions, and military/police actions would all be considered "murder" as they are all deliberate taking of human life. But they are not considered murder.

That's why the poster corrected themselves in the next post by adding the word 'innocent'.
Which made their statement exactly true.
