Art here are your definitions:

To kill (another human) unlawfully. - Yes terrorist committed murder on sept 11. Collateral damage does not fit this definition.

To kill brutally or inhumanly. - I think flying a plane into buildings and crushing and burning people to death qualifies here. Same for collateral damage.

To put an end to; destroy: murdered their chances.
- This one I think is used as slang so doesn't really apply

To spoil by ineptness; mutilate: a speech that murdered the English language.
Slang. To defeat decisively; trounce.
- Same here


"Murder is when you deliberately kill a person with malice and predetermined intent."

No murder can be completely involuntary - you eat half a pound of psychedelic mushrooms, and smoke half a pound of PCP. You wig out kill your family wake up remembering nothing. You murdered your family.

You drink 3 beers then drive home on the way home you hit an old lady crossing the road. You are tested for drugs and alcohol you test positive you get charged with murder.

You build a house you disregard all safety regulations knowing the dangers. The house collapses killing 3 people. After investigation you are charged with murder. (Negligent homicide)
