A tragic loss of life

It's not "a loss of life". Loss of life is from an accident or disaster. It's something that couldn't really be avoided.

This event was an intentional slaughter of innocent human life. It's not "loss of life". It's genocide.

I agree. Sorry, English second language.

Sorry, I didn't mean it to sound so aggressive. I wasn't arguing against your statement, just the use of passive language in general to downplay what's going on.

And don't apologize for your English. You speak it well.
