I see what you did there.

I wonder what's wrong with me, it took me three times to understand what was the weird stench coming from this sentence. I then understood than 'minor citzen' thing you did. Well played, almost got me.

I said minor as in legal minor in the US... Sorry, english is not my first language, and although I tried to write in several ways, this was the best I could :( (I don't remember the exact age of the murdered, only that he was a minor)

I must be slow as hell, I really can't see what you supposedly detected. Mind explaining to the rest of the class?

I may have over-read it, but I understood it as than citizen being targeted because of his presence in a third-rate country, and therefore by default a possible terrorist and an affordable loose.

What is strange is the use of 'minor'. As far as I know, their is officially no caste system in the US, so no minor or major citizenship. It may also be another case of me over-reacting, 'minor' meaning in this situation 'only one'.

I suppose the referred story is there: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/18/opinion/the-drone-that-kil... but I don't know if it's the only time that happened. Close enough I suppose.

Au contraire mon ami. The entendre is there. Look at the victim's age... the victim is indeed a "minor" and a second class citizen in the US.
