And again I say, it is not INSIGNIFICANT nor just a NUMBER when it happens to you or someone you love.
Thank you for the vocabulary lesson, and the needless emotional appeal.
NOTHING is just a number or insignificant when it happens to someone you love. That, however, is completely beside the point. Please feel free to make a separate point about how tragic and sad these events are - but I certainly don't think that detracts from my original premise - which is: It's disgusting that the law allows for murder, and pointing to such a small percentage (translate: negligable statistic) of justifiable cases as the validation for this behavior is disingenuous and distressing.
