Today in discussion at philosophy club:
Is it murder to shoot someone in Antarctica?
Group consensus:
It’s not a crime, but you are still a terrible person.

Gerlach is German and rhymes with bear-lock. I was born and raised in the Haight Ashbury of San Francisco, moved to Berkeley for college and grad school, with an MA in History of Religion from the Graduate Theological Union of Berkeley, and now teach Philosophy and the history of human thought at Berkeley City College. I have taught Intro Philosophy, Ethics, Logic, Asian Philosophy, Greek Philosophy, Modern European Philosophy and Social & Political Philosophy there for the past several years, and it has been a joy.

No, maybe he does not die. You should just give him more 3 shots to make sure. So, murder!

We were assuming he would die when you shoot him, and there was no discussion over the number of shots it would take. I’m not sure why you think three shots, but not one, would constitute murder.
