This is pedantic AF, I know, but it really irritates me when media outlets report about "violent attacks" or "violent bombing" in war zones, etc. 😒

The implication is that "non-violent attacks" and "non-violent bombing" are things that exist in this reality. "Attacking" and "bombing" are inherently violent acts, so I can't even imagine what the non-violent versions of those things would look like.

If you're an editor to some news outlet, please, for the sake of my poor brain, strike the redundant phrasing 🙏
