Original Note:
A VIOLENT PERSON ISN’T A PROTESTER Calling a shooter a “protester” wrongly equates violence with peaceful protest. “Gunman” or “rioter” is more accurate. Selecting a word more sympathetic to an individual engaged in violence, raises questions of bias in reporting. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/protester https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/protest https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/gunman https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/rioter
