It does appear that we are headed in that direction. Can’t say I blame ya for thinking like that.
We’ll see.
Meantime, patience.
Don’t jump the gun.

Homicide is a broad term for any killing of a human by another human, which can be lawful or unlawful.
Murder, on the other hand, is a specific type of unlawful homicide where someone intentionally kills another person with the intention to harm beforehand.

That right there, is my kryptonite. I have Addison’s. It’s an Adrenal disorder. I produce Adrenaline just fine. My body does not produce the steroidal chemicals to calm that production afterwards. So I’m like a high speed engine stuck going full out in an Adrenal Crisis until I can…
A) Get my/a shot of corticosteroids and that will bring me out of the danger zone of that crisis.
B) I drop into a coma which can cause my death or with the right care. I eventually recover.
It’s happened to me several times. It can happen immediately or even over days if I subject myself to low order stressors. One of my worst was 12/19/18. Ive talked about it here you can search that date and read a more detailed version. Short version was my daughter got caught between a few gang bangers while driving home for Christmas, who started shooting at each other through her car. I went and rescued her, I was furious that I got there before the Police Department, but I assessed her physically (1 round passed so close she got a friction burn, literally a friction burn) and I got her to the Hospital. She had to have eye surgery to get the glass removed from her eyes. From the accumulation of stressors. I dropped. Four days later I woke up 2 days after Christmas (I’ve had 4 multiple day comas) I was undiagnosed at that point, so I didn’t have medications.
So I keep ruthless control of my emotional state, or at least as much as I can. But that is one of my biggest fears. Having to defend myself or another innocent. Then the adrenaline aftermath. So, my order of response is different than most. As getting my Corticosteroid shot is my #1 priority. I’m no good to anyone if I am dead or in a coma.
Edit: Punctuation, spelling, and added a descriptive literally and 
I take daily doses of steroids just to cope with the day to day stressors from minor to major. Something as silly as I get to hot to I fell down.

I know Brother and I’m sorry.
I hope none of this nasty sh!t happens (to any of us).
I have PTS/Anxiety from you know ‘the thingy’ in '93
I keep myself ruthlessly calm, How? By applying humor
(sometimes twisted/inappropriate humor)
I think I said before I have a picture of me in full Battle Rattle
standing with my foot on an insurgents chest grinning like
I just planted the Flag on Everest. (it’s a great shot!) but I can’t post
it here because of a diplomat (clearly recognizable puking his guts out in the background (Priceless!) I have a 16x20" blow up of it in my War room.
(available for a nominal fee on my website SickSh!tDon102.com. (KnowhatImean?)
This is why when/If I have another shoot I am telling the dispatcher I need (2) buses.
One for da dead dude and one for me. (JIC) I’ve been in so many hairy situations my
body is unpredictable and I’d like to be under a doctor’s care for oh say (48) hours
just like da Poe Poe.
Take good care Z, I am pulling for you my Brother. Stay Frosty.

In the legal aspect, an unavoidable killing of self-defense would be manslaughter (at most), because murder requires premeditation and/or intent. Most of the times you used “murder” in your post it would be more accurate to say “killed” instead. Again, this is the legal aspect, not your personal moral aspect.

To intentionally kill an innocent person is murder. To kill someone as a last resort that is trying to murder or intentionally inflict grave bodily harm to someone is justifiable homicide.

Ted was an anti cop troll, took a while but got himself banned from the forum or realized that there’s lots of active duty and retired LEO here and made the wise decision to leave.

how the word meanings have changed… was a time when murder and kill had the same meaning…
and slay was used for justifiable homicide…
ya I’m that old… still remember the definitions in dictionaries we had in grade school…
even had a picture of the eye of the needle…
which was more like a camel shaped doorway through city walls in the middle east…

In biblical times kill and murder had the different meanings. In Hebrew kill is לַהֲרוֹג (laharog)., murder is לִרְצוֹחַ (lirtzoach). In Arbic killing is (قتل) Qatl. - Murdering is (إغتيال) Eghteyal.
I think people tried to say they meant the same thing when they tried to infringe on the second amendment.
Two words cannot mean the same thing. They can have similar meanings, If they were the same meanings, they would be the same word.

They have similar meanings. They are not the same. They are synonyms. There are times when one can be used and the other one cannot.
