   This can be prosecuted. Do not be so naive to think that you may kill in   
   self defense. I knew a guy who got life in prison for it.

   This is definately murder. This is wholesale, industrialized murder, and the   
   worst part about this type of murder is that they have convinced people like   
   you that it is like soccer, football or rugby. It is not.

   It is definately killing, some people think that it is always murder, but   
   certainly it is murder in some cases. There are other cases, like Jeffrey   
   Dahmer, where murder is used to execute the prisoner because the state does   
   not have the death penalty. The two processes are therefore interchangeable,   
   and you can see quite cleartly that the STATE is GUILTY of MURDER  as well.
