    How do they know it was unprovoked?

    It says they argued earlier in the day but doesnt provide any details.

      Because this news outlet wants to shit on homeless people and make them sound super dangerous to convince people not to help the homeless in general.

      You cannot provoke someone to murder. All murders are unprovoked. There is no excuse for this piece of shit to have killed.

      EDIT: Since people seem to not get what I mean, provoke implies there is reason given to act. There is no reason in murder. Therefore IMHO, murder cannot be provoked.

        @Mastengwe @CaptainSpaceman Of course you can provoke someone who then kills you in response. Provocation isn’t justification. Being provoked doesn’t excuse one’s actions.

          Yes, but by definition- provoke doesn’t explain an unavoidable result of murder.

          So by this, I mean that provoked or not- one can walk away. Therefore, being provoked doesn’t excuse or explain a murder.
