I wish people would stop using the term "assassinated"
for this murder. He wasn't "assassinated". He was just murdered. Assassination is reserved for really important people, like political candidates. Would you say a movie star who was killed in front of a crowd was :assassinated"? No, you wouldn't. Charlie Kirk was basically a political movie star. Nothing more, nothing less. Can we just leave it at that and stop glorigying this political murder?
