Home-invasion robbery?
Psychiatrist to the press: it's 'homicide bomber' - not 'suicide bomber'
By Jennifer Harper
A suicide prevention expert has called for the term “homicide bomber” to replace the widely used “suicide bomber”, claiming that those who kill themselves while murdering others have few similarities to actual suicide victims.
So says Dr. Robert Goldney, a psychiatry professor at the University of Adelaide in Australia, who is, incidentally, an internationally regarded suicide expert and author.
“Past studies have generally shown that there is little in common between so-called ‘suicide bombers’ and those who die by suicide, using ‘suicide’ in its clinically accepted sense,” he says. “From the point of view of experienced clinical psychiatrists, suicide bombers have a range of characteristics that are completely different to those of the majority of suicide victims.”
Typical feelings of hopelessness, unbearable psychic pain combined with self-absorption and few options are common among those who are suicidal. Not so among those who commit terrorist acts, Dr. Goldney says, noting “Mental disorders also do not appear to be a prominent feature in so-called ‘suicide bombers’.”
There are some benefits to dropping the term.
“It has long been recognized that media reporting on suicide promotes further suicide - there is a tendency for it to be normalized as an understandable and reasonable option. The repeated use of the term ‘suicide bomber’ runs the risk of normalizing such behavior,” he says. . . .
Yes, this makes sense. If someone is willing to, say, blow up an entire city and take himself with it, rather than a suicide, his own demise seems more like the logical choice of his larger evil decision.
Have the same problem with the terms 'bungled burglary' and 'home-invasion robbery.'
As far as a 'bungled burglary,' if someone is willing to murder people who might walk onto a burglary or robbery scene, it more likely shows that the murderer is willing to murder in the course of that burglary or robbery. Saying that it was 'bungled' sounds like the poor fellow had better intentions, but things, out of no fault of his own, went wrong. As if he had stumbled and dropped a piece of fine flatware that he was intending to stuff into his burlap bag.
Even worse is 'home-invasion robbery,' which often includes the murders of whites by non-whites, the term partly reflecting generalized PC and partly our hostile ruling elites purposely trying to hide and minimize horrifically disproportionate black-on-white violent crime.
It can be seen most clearly in South Africa, where black thugs can, after much planning (days before they will often pre-mark a home, sometimes by setting down something at the side of the road, and poison the family dog), they will break in and then rape, torture, slowly kill and then hack to pieces--to later sell body parts for their magical properties--all family members, usually starting with children, then the wife, and finally the husband, so he can witness it all happening.
And what is all this typically called by the media?
'A home-invasion robbery.'
This is sort of like calling what the terrorists did when they slammed those two airliners into the Twin Towers 'architecturally damaging unauthorized aeronautical maneuvers.'
