You can say "slaughter" but "murder" means something specific and this isn't it.

Eh, I hear you, but here in FuckCars, the mens rea is driving two tons of lethal metal, mistakes are on you buddy.

Which is manslaughter, not murder. Hysterical intentional misuse of the language does no-one favours.

Yeah, but you're in one of the most hyperbolic communities on Lemmy, why are you expecting level-headedness? In here, every fender bender is a violent assault.

It's just "a fender bender" to only one of the parties. Beautiful display of the no fucks given attitude that's all too common on the road.

You're saying this on a post about someone who literally died

I mean could be intentional. The best way to murder someone in the us is to accidentally run them over.
