Injustice to the dead

A TV news personality tonight said France was showing sympathy for the murdered in Orlando by flying the American rainbow flag.

Dear TV News Reader: The American flag is composed of 13 horizontal stripes, alternating red and white, and a field of 50 white stars on a blue background.

Also, TV and other news people refer to the Orlando murdered as “victims,” the same as cancer “victims” or traffic accident “victims” or bullied “victims.” The 49 dead in Orlando were murdered. The only accurate way to refer to them as “victims” is “victims of Islamic murderers.”
