I guess being a manslaughterer is more refined/classy/sassy than being a murderer. Either way someone dies. OOPS doesn't excuse it. Does it?

Just because it was UNINTENTIONAL doesn't excuse it or change it or ameliorate it or mitigate it or make it easier to take. Dead is dead is dead. How you label it is irrelevant isn't it? The result is the same. Putting lipstick on that pig doesn't mean a thing. People do it all the time anyway. Garish bawdy gawdy horrendous horrific. "How to lipstick a pig" is something that's taught somewhere in some public relations firm. "Let's call it something else". SIGH.

    If somebody dies due to a complete accident, is that murder?

    A person who gets drunk as a skunk, gets behind the wheel of a vehicle and "runs into" someone who dies for example? Yes. In my eyes that is murder. It could have been AVOIDED had the murderer just parked the car and slept it off. But no. He/she didn't. Which brings up another question which I shall ask forthwith. I know legally you have to premeditate but I'm not bound by legalese. I know what I think outside the boundaries of what other people accept as correct. MURDER it is to me and always will be. In Hemet here and there on the side of the road you sometimes see a small cross and maybe a bouquet of lowers. That marks the spot someone died. I expect due to an "accident". A reminder that life is finite and precious and should be treasured. The question I'm going to ask is this. Do women drunk drivers cause any deaths or is it only men? SIGH. Thank you for your question R. Did I answer it?

    Women who drive intoxicated most certainly do cause deaths, including a rather high-profile case in my hometown a year ago. Less often than men, but it happens.

    Then she was a MURDERESS according to me R. MURDERER/MURDERESS. Drunk as skunk bums too stupid not to drive when drunk. Toss 'em in the hoosegow and throw away the key. Sez me. They do it once they can do it again. Why give them the means by which to repeat the egregious offense? Thank you for your reply R! :)
