what is the difference between an assassination and a murder?
April 10, 2010 · Filed Under Other - News & Events
education, not ignorance asked:
so then aren’t they really the same thing. a premeditated murder is a targeted murder. high profile or not, it is still the taking of a persons life, right? murder is murder, right?
so is a mob “hit” an assassination or a murder?
an “unintended murder” is called manslaughter. i think my question is clear as to the difference between a murder and an assassination.

Murder is a killing of one human to another, assassination is murder, but murder is not assassination
assassination is a hired kill of another human, keyword HIRED, so the “assassin” *hint hint* is being payed for the kill.

if you are famous its an assassination– if your just a working slob like me, its murder. there are few people that would like to kill me outright.. but they have to ask/answer themselves a very important question… is 25 to life worth punching west of encino’s ticket?.. I think not!!!
