Does any political office count?
What about school board or a principal?
What about a chess champion?
What if you’re the prime witness to a huge crime?
Military leaders? Chief of police?
Youtubers, podcasters?
CEO? Small bussiness owner? Manager of a store?
Does popularity matter, or is it only importance?
And lets say the leader of a country got killed, but its by their relative for, say, getting bulled as a kid, and the movive has nothing to do with their position of power? Does that count as an “assassination”?
How come 3 kids got shot in Colorado on the same day but people care about some guy bashing the LGBT community?

That’s an easy one: he was much more famous.
