"Aggravated battery" doesn't fuckin mean "battery resulting from aggravation." It means "assault with intent to seriously injure"/"with a weapon"/etc.

It's is the more serious version of battery, just as aggravated assault is the more serious version of assault.

So everyone here, agreeing that killing homeless people is wrong, also agrees that the Bumfight videos from a couple years back are also wrong?

Aside from noone dying, and there being consent, and in fact the only similarities being physical violence and the homeless, and nothing else, you're totally right they're identical situations.

I compared the two using the word 'wrong', not 'identical situations'.

If you weren't trying to suggest that the 2 situations were somehow comparable then there wasn't any logic to your post.

You are now saying 'somehow comparable', which is completely different than 'identical situations'; I can't respond to your posts that well if you don't make clear what you mean.

Let me rephrase the question. Is there anybody out there who feels bum-murder to be wrong but feels paid bum-fights to be OK?

Are you comparing an honest day job with murder? Tsk tsk.

They are comparable in that they are both wrong. Wrong in different ways, but wrong nonetheless...

The bumfights were a disgusting attempt to capitalize on the desperate situation many homeless men find themselves in.
