re: #191 Dark_Falcon

Then I dispute the dictionary definition. To call a criminal who pulls a gun on a police officer and gets shot for having done so a ‘victim’ makes it seem like he was the wronged party, as opposed to the cop he tried to shoot.

And that’s all I’ve got to say about that.

Have you been going at the lead paint?

He’s a victim because there’s a fucking bullet in him, not because of the righteousness of his path that directed him into a bullet. Like a drunk driver wounded in a car crash is a victim.

Victim denotes injury/wounding. If you want to layer on some judgemental shit that’s on you.
