in everyday accepted language, the two are synonymous although inaccurate. So your local coyote and stray cat are serial killers. Hell, vegetarians kill plants while eating them, so Mr. Ed is also a serial killer. You kill thousands of bacteria with a bleach soaked paper towel.............

And none of them are created by SYG laws. If Zimmerman moves to Wyoming, and he is attacked a couple of times, did Wyoming's duty to retreat create a serial killer?
