Deceptive Perspective
Between movies, the news and documentaries, when ever someone is killed in a sneak attack and gunned down, by drive bys, by hit men ordered by mob bosses, it is considered and described as a gangland style murder.
Between movies, the news and documentaries, when ever someone is killed in a sneak attack and gunned down, by fly bys, by generals ordered by Presidents, it is considered and described as a successful military operation.
Ooopsie.
Different mob, different mob bosses, different mob rules, to rule the mobs of people.
If an individual civilian of his own freewill listens to the voice in his head, tells him to kill someone. He is a murderer, if he does it more than once, he is a serial killer.
If a specific race, religion or gender is targeted, it is a hate crime, if it is against a spouse, it is a crime of passion. Clarifying murder, to dole out possible punishments.
If an individual “peace officer” of his own freewill listens to the voice in his head, tells him to kill someone. (Who may or nor be armed) He might get a few weeks off paid leave, because he has qualified immunity.
If an individual soldier of his own freewill listens to the voice of his commander, tells him to kill someone, he is doing his job by defending freedom and democracy and is considered a hero.
When are we going to have a meeting on this “Thou shalt not kill” memo / commandment /law ?
But in the game of life, and who owns the Monopoly board, it is in the chance deck of cards, we all get to draw from.
Whether or not you may legally murderer a bi-pedal oxygen breathing, monoxide exhaling, red-blooded, skeleton supported, solar powered, carbon-based, large brained, earth inhabitant omnivores.
All depends on one’s deceptive perspective.
Murder is murder, yet,
