Not just uncaught murderers, there are a lot of people who have killed without legally being considered murderers.

People who killed people in accidents such as driving accidents or hunting accidents

People who killed in self defense

Soldiers who killed enemy soldiers

Executioners

Police officers who have killed on duty

Doctors and nurses who have made mistakes that accidentally killed patients

    That may be true in the US.
    Most of these reasons don’t apply to normal more civilized countries

      Some do.

      Soldiers who killed enemy soldiers

      Starting to get more likely in Eastern Europe now than the US I’d say. Never know when you might run into a former Russian or Ukrainan soldier.

      People who killed in self defense

      Probably less likely outside of the US since no guns, but assault is still a thing and you can kill an assailant without a gun.

      Doctors and nurses who have made mistakes that accidentally killed patients

      This is universal.

      People who killed people in accidents such as driving accidents or hunting accidents

      So is this.

        That is true, but I think they were just trying to take a shot (haha) at the US. Well deserved, for sure.
