Talk:Danziger Bridge shootings

Danziger 7

Since this is currently the term being used in the news and perhaps likely to be searched (it's what I tried,) maybe that should link here?

I don't really edit wikipedia and I have no idea how stuff like that works, or I'd give a shot at doing it.

Renaming

I propose that the article be renamed Danziger Bridge Shootings. The problem is the word "Massacre". The reasons are twofold:

• None of the external links describe the event as a massacre.
• A massacre denotes a form of mass killing, of multiple deaths. While the shootings at Danzinger Bridge resulted in the deaths of two people, it would not be described as a massacre. Otherwise any form of shooting or violence that kills two people could be described as a "massacre".

Original Research?

"Punishment varies from a fine or imprisonment of up to one year, or both, and if bodily injury results or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire shall be fined or imprisoned up to ten years or both, and if death results, or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death." -- literal text from paragraph 4 of Title 18, section 242 (http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/civilrights/federal-statutes#section242) Due to the explicit nature of this paragraph, the 'original research?' section on the article should be removed immediately, and I'm doing so now. 71.198.161.36 (talk) 07:19, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
