Examples of killing in a Sentence

1. Doc Rivers:

   The fact that we celebrated a man who committed murder is going to jail, I thought about that last night and I’m not so sure if we’ve come a long way or we have a long way to go, you can think of that either way. But the right thing happened, obviously. So I was excited about that. Blacks have been dehumanized for a long time, and to see a man go to jail for killing a Black man should not be significant, but it is. So I guess in that way we’re coming a long way, but we still have a long way to go.

2. Mariam Farzayee:

   Since everything is happening so fast, there’s been a lot of misinformation that’s spreading, yesterday, I listened to a Taliban debriefing, and they said in Farsi, which I was able to translate on my own, that they want all the interpreters to stay and they won’t be seeking revenge on them. But then I’m logging onto Instagram or Twitter and Facebook, I’m reading these news reports about how they actually did end up killing these interpreters.

3. Jacob Russell:

4. Scott Defrin:

   They've basically ruined the collective antique trade, is this really something that will stop poor African people from killing elephants?

5. Donald Trump:

   They haven't been hurt, the real cost, would be if we did nothing. The cost of doing nothing was killing us, as a country -- our national debt and so many other things.
