M

The new illustrated alphabet Part 13: M is for MURDER.

Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human with malice aforethought. This state of mind may, depending upon the jurisdiction, distinguish murder from other forms of unlawful homicide, such as manslaughter. Manslaughter is killing committed in the absence of malice, brought about by reasonable provocation, or diminished capacity. 

Murder is commonplace in under developed countries such as the USA where any person, crazy or not can purchase an automatic weapon, wreak havoc with it and it may be considered as normal or reasonable behavior. In certain states if the victim is black or Hispanic and the murderer is a police officer then the current political regime will turn a blind eye. Nice work America. There are numerous other countries that are equally misguided in their judgement on these matters i.e. Russia, China, North Korea etc.

Most reasonable Gods seem to disapprove of murder unless it's part of some military campaign  or carried out "in their name", it's all a bit of a mess really.
