There are varying degrees of lethality. Some things kill nearly 100% of the time, while others kill less frequently.
Getting stabbed isn’t guaranteed to be lethal, but that doesn’t mean that knives are “less than lethal”. They’re still lethal.
There are not varying degrees of death.
They’re called that way because unlike a knife, they dont “kill less frequently” but “don’t kill” (at least by design).
You can’t be less dead. You can be less than dead. Plus I was intentionally making a pedantic asterisk because he did one, i dont really care if it’s right to what he implied.
I think the point they’re trying to make is that tasers have in fact killed numerous people. Though at a lower rate than a traditional firearm. They’re lethal less often.
Oh and some sauce: 500 deaths over a decade is near 1 death a week on average.
