Murder doesn't stop being murder just because the victim has a record. Murder is defined based purely on the immediate circumstances of the killing. Invoking somebody's past to try and justify their murder is a terribly common strategy, but not one that holds any actual weight. It's technically not ad hominem because you aren't attacking the person making the argument, but it's logically fallacious for the same reasons ad hominem is. TheWorstPoster posted... Actual objective factual statements, as defined by the police report in the news article I have posted. The police report that was filed by the officers that participated in the shooting and would generally prefer not to be charged with attempted murder/have such charges besmirching the reputation of their department? Yeah, I'm sure that's completely objective and not biased at all by damage control efforts/self-serving hindsight. It's definitely reasonable to treat that as the absolute truth and not take other accounts into consideration. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
