"Look, there is a difference between “murder” and “killing.” 𝑴𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓 is purposeful and indefensible, regardless of degree.
By contrast, humans value professionals who 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 ants, spiders, roaches, and termites.

Killing is more nuanced.

Soldiers 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 the enemy, and that is the whole idea.
Police 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 bad guys, and that usually is very good.

Store owners 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 people who hold them up, and that usually is fabulous.
Other killings are not acceptable.

Thus, accidental killings still are tortious, if not always criminal.

Automobile and other roadway killings.

Accidents at home.
And then there is Cuomo.
I do not quite fathom the mind of the quintessential New York Democrat liberal.
I grew up in Brooklyn, surrounded by Democrats who really all were deeply conservative but had no other party to vote for in a one-party town that the Republicans abandoned, so they elected solid “Democrats for Reagan” types.
Then I went to college at Columbia in Manhattan, where I suddenly was submerged into a liberal muck.

All the non-STEM professors were radical left, and I was a social sciences major.

The political science classes all had Marx and Engels on every reading list.
By the time I graduated, I had been assigned to read Marx so often that I practically could quote his every anti-Semitic statement by heart.

The leftists were everywhere.
The professors in the religion department, with one exception, did not believe in G-d.

The English language and other language and literature classes all had a profoundly leftward bent.
When the Columbia Daily Spectator, the student-run newspaper, took an on-campus poll before the 1972 presidential elections, they found that something like 80 or 90 percent were voting for George McGovern against Nixon.

I don’t even think Nixon came in second in the poll.
He got beaten by the pro-Soviet Communist Party candidate, Gus Hall, the guy supported by Obama’s future CIA director, John Brennan.

Nixon may even have come in third or fourth, behind some other communist.
So I lived and learned for years among New York’s most elite leftist thinkers.

Imagine — four years at an Ivy League college, majoring in political science, and the only time I ever heard of Ayn Rand was when I needed to go to a doctor on the campus health plan, ...
... and the guy made small talk with me, sensed my conservative frustration, told me about her, and sent me off with a prescription for a nose spray and another to read 'We the Living'.
So, as we would say in the Brooklyn ’hood where I grew up: I know “from” liberals. Oh, boy — Gevalt! — do I ever know “from” liberals!
No question that the honest tally is closer to 10,000 Cuomo killings.

𝑸𝒖𝒂𝒆𝒓𝒆 whether the Federal Sentencing Guidelines distinguish much between killing 5,000 or 10,000 people.
Certainly, any fair-minded critic will acknowledge that Cuomo did not set out to kill 10,000 seniors purposefully.

And yet.

𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒆𝒕.
Richard Speck murdered eight nurses.

The two animals who together were discovered to comprise “The Hillside Strangler” murdered as many as 12 women.

Richard David Falco, the “Son of Sam” nut job, murdered six.

Ted Bundy murdered at least 30.

Cuomo is not in that category because he lacked 𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒂, the Latin term we attorneys and law professors use to connote the evil intent in a killer’s state of mind to commit 𝒎𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓.

Cuomo only 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅.
So what indeed 𝒘𝒂𝒔 he thinking when he ordered seniors’ facilities to take in the COVID-19 infected? Most probably — and this suggestion is posited to defend him — he simply 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 thinking.

Or was thinking about an upcoming election.
I have a dearly beloved relative — may he live to 120! — who, for several years, has been cared for and residing in a wonderful kosher-food Jewish-seniors’ facility in the northeast.
Thank G-d Almi-ty that facility is not in New York, New Jersey, or in one of the other madhouse states where liberal Democrat governors ordered unprepared nursing homes to admit coronavirus into their facilities.
Cuomo gets mega-plaudits on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, MSNBC, in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and wherever else truth is distorted into lies and lies are falsified into truth.

In such media, he is the anti-Trump, the genius of the coronavirus season.
Measured.

Methodical.

Liberal.

Democrat.
Why, he ought to run for president of the United States — and there’s still time for this savior to do it, assuming he can get around Stacey Abrams, who has eclipsed him and most everyone else.
But figures don’t lie, even though liars can figure.

Cuomo’s New York state somehow managed to become home to half of all American coronavirus cases and coronavirus deaths.
To be sure, New York poses its own unique challenges.

It is an international hub.

Housing is more crowded.

We all have seen, and many of us have walked, the famously crowded Manhattan streets.
The New York City subway system is the antithesis of social distancing, where five people struggle for dear life, each to claim five inches of space on the ubiquitous straphanger’s pole.
Beyond that, the city has an idiot for a mayor, and he in turn appointed as New York City Health Commissioner a medical miracle who urged the public to ignore social distancing and to go out mingling during the Chinese New Year, ... https://twitter.com/NYCHealthCommr/status/1226508570646269954?s=20
Even so, Cuomo owes the survivors of his 10,000 victims the most deep, heartfelt apology imaginable.

.

And not one of those famous political “IF Apologies” —
... “IF I offended you by calling your mother a prostitute” …

“IF I offended you by saying that your child is genetically defective” …

“IF I offended you by mocking your racial identity, religious belief, ethnic heritage … ”
Rather, Cuomo owes an incredibly candid, tearful apology for killing some 10,000 grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters — 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 — who were among society’s least able to defend themselves from his killing onslaught.
In New York City, the tabloids are famous for appending nicknames to killers.

I just googled “The Nursing Home Killer,” and the name remains available.

America awaits the non-IF apology from New York’s Nursing Home Killer."
