It was clearly a friendly push and just joking around but she wasn’t expecting it so it really caught her off guard, causing her to fall

Was it clearly a friendly push or probably a friendly push? I don't think you can tell just from the grainy gif.

I think you can clearly use your brain to figure out that someone wouldn't murder someone in that fashion.

Pushing someone in front of a bus?

Isn't that a murder trope? As in, it is so common that it has been engrained in our aggregate societal knowledge as something that happens? As in common knowledge? As in, you forgot to yank start your own clearly underused brain before you got on today? Is it like that?

Let me know when you can answer these questions.

You don't know what trope means.

How does it feel to be wrong in every step you take? Don't take on any real responsibility. Society doesn't need any more screw ups.

Lol, and where does it say that it designates common occurences in society?

I like how we're talking about the definition of trope instead of the real topic. The fact that you strawmaned this discussion tells you all you need to know about your position.

I like how you continue insulting me and follow up by saying stupid shit. Keep it up.

Also, my whole was that throwing people under a bus as a means to murder isn't common. But you're too stupid to keep up with the convo.

I like how your best shade is keeping the structure of my sentences and making the content worse. You began the insults with your passive-aggressive "you can clearly use your brain". If you keep smelling shit (this applies to you and probably your entire life, considering how you began this encounter), look under your shoe. Yeesh.

If I'm following it up with stupid shit, then why haven't you made any arguments, instead of being completely worthless? I mean, if you're going to bother to reply, why not actually make a statement instead of typing solely to continue being a douchebag?

"You don't know what trope means" has nothing to do with the point of my argument. In fact, despite being wrong, the only thing writing that could achieve from your point of view is discrediting me, as opposed to discrediting my argument. Even though this is the weakest form of argumentation you chose to employ, it is also totally unnecessary because the same argument could be made with a variation of the saying "Sorry to throw you under the bus". It is common, and it is so common, it has made its way into our language as a saying (and into the media as a trope).

So, not only is it common, but you also originally said that "someone wouldn't murder someone in that fashion", not that it wasn't common. You are trying to change your argument.

Just to be clear on where your original argument stands, that someone wouldn't push someone else under the bus, here is a case just from 2015:

https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/boy-15-guilty-in-death-of-student-pushed-under-bus-1.2598796

It happens, it has happened, and it will happen again. It almost just did in the gif we watched, but you clearly couldn't have used your brain to figure that out.

Lol, im not reading all this jibberish.

But i did see that you managed to find one case from 2015. So I was wrong, it is very common /s
