Examples of killing in a Sentence

1. Kathleen Turner:

   I’ll be quite honest, which is my won't: I didn’t feel very welcomed by the cast. I remember I was wearing this difficult sequined gown — and my high heels were absolutely killing me. I found it odd that none of the actors thought to offer me a seat. Finally, it was one of the older crew members that said, ‘Get Miss Turner a chair.’ The‘Friends’actors were such a clique — but I don’t think my experience with them was unique. I think it was simply that they were such a tight little group that nobody from the outside mattered.

2. Vassilis Vassileiou:

   They were first killing Westerners and then laughing at the dead, i was constantly hearing shouts, shots and bangs on the doors.

3. Drew Rosenberg:

I have no doubt, and I know for a fact, that this was very difficult for David. He kept trying to talk himself out of it.

5. Chris Smith:

   The scenarios that we investigate in this study are really at the extreme optimistic end of what could be done without negative emissions or killing off power plants or cars before their time, while the solution we propose is technically possible, it still doesn't look particularly likely. However, I would claim that mapping it out is a good starting point, and consistent with the definition of an infrastructure commitment. It would be interesting to see if, or how, some of The Results change with perhaps more real-world assumptions.
