Kirk was not assassinated. He was killed. He’s literally just some guy. He’s not a politician or the president ffs

Sure but he clearly wasn’t a nobody either. It just feels like the “an important person” part is meant to distinguish between random people killing each other over politics/religion as opposed to purposefully killing someone notable with the intent to gain notoriety or spread fear

so if you were killed in that sense of your definition your family could say you were assassinated?

Right bc who defines whether the person was important or not. It can’t be subjective

I mean probably not because I’m not anyone notable and I don’t know what political or religious reason someone would kill me for
