Orwellian

Some politician was saying we've got the terminology wrong.

We shouldn't say "shoot to kill"; we should say "shoot to protect".

Of course, that makes all the difference.

Now lets think of a nice way of saying "innocent man with five bullets in his head."

What about if you're in a country where there's just been a terrorist attack, and a bunch of guys in scruffy clothes follow you for 20 minutes saying nothing, then pull AK47s and start shouting at you?

I don't think running is a ridiculous thing to do at that point.
