Gently Murdered?

So, the headlines over at Sports Illustrated say that a soccer player was brutally murdered.

I know this is awful to say, but aren't most murders brutal? I wonder what percentage of murders are not brutal.

I guess the people at Sports Illustrated consider most murders to be non-brutal. If I shoot you in the head, so that you die quickly, is that a non-brutal murder?

Do we need a public education program to encourage more gentle murdering?

I just find the term "brutal murder" to be a silly and inaccurate term.

He tried to get away, so they shot him three times. That's the facts. Now, if they had shot him once in the head, would that earn a different headline?
