Some call it murder. Democrat Congressman: "I misspoke when I described the killing of a National Guardsman and the critical injuring of another an 'unfortunate accident' — I meant to say 'incident'”.

“Murder” is the deliberate premeditated killing of another; an “accident” or “incident” is merely an acknowledgement that, as the Democrats’ favorite Somali bigamist said of 9/11, “something happened”. Bennie Thompson surely knows the difference, and chose his terms deliberately and consciously.
