Mother and child walked in path of bullets

A Mother and her son died in the emergency room after they walked straight into the path of fired bullets. The 92 year old gun owner mixed up the trigger with the safety of his assault rifle and will have to pay a fine of $200. His lawyer announced that they will appeal the judgement, arguing that his client needs the money for new ammunition.

This works even better for western media reporting about israel

I see every article talking about car drivers hitting bicyclists ever.

Was the cashier wearing a hi-vis stab-proof vest?

The floor was wet and they didn't have non-slip shoes. Clearly just slipped and fell. With a knife in their hand because it makes you run faster.

article from 2034?

I mean, I hear you, but knives and guns have verbs that have the general connotation of lethality. "Shot," and "stabbed," have easily understood repercussions within a single term. We need a word for cars, and we don't have one. I understand that "person hit person with car" has a sentence structure implying grave harm, but there simply isn't the cognitive weight behind "hit" as there is "stabbed" or "shot." "Hit," "murdered," etc. all implicitly bury the lede of "car" just by merit of their generality.

The post makes a good point. I'd never considered that, but the with cars and guns these sorts of euphemistic headlines are rampant.
