victim of an unprovoked attack

Hmm.

I'm becoming tired of news reports stating that someone was assaulted and the attack was unprovoked. There really is no provocation for assault. Read this report.

Innocent

Why do the people who report these things, or accidents, insist on saying things like this? Why do they describe people injured in an accident as "innocent"? It's a really ridiculous thing to say.

Update:

cowardly murder (thanks Wand in comments)

How about a cowardly murder

Don't you think that oxymoron is superb? Now under what circumstances could murder be brave, just or noble or....? Hmmm perhaps murder is just simply murder.

How about starting a list of common oxymorons used by the MSM?
