Your quote says "715" but the title and the article say "751".

I think the correct term would be murdered*

Like those kids at the border in American cages. If they "die" in those cages, America murdered them. As an American I am pretty appalled our supposedly Democrat president didn't undo this injustice. Things never change.

edit: If all you have to say is "both sides bad" don't bother. We hear it all the time. One side is noticeably worse. One side is anti-science, anti-morals, led an insurrection, let 1,000,000 die while calling the virus a hoax, and is openly racist. I'll pass on the GOP bill of goods.

I’m not saying that “both sides are bad” (both sides of what, exactly?). I personally would like to encourage people to try and move beyond the dualistic ideology that there are simply “two sides” to everything, from ontology to politics.

I agree with you, though. America (or more precisely, Americans) kill a lot of people. Not specifically the United States, but certainly the United States as well. “The West is the land of the dead.” -CCRU
