I don't like fluffy, euphemistic language. When a government mows down it's citizens (young people, children) without mercy it is a MASSACRE

Oxford Thesaurus says:

massacre
noun
1 a cold-blooded massacre of innocent civilians slaughter, wholesale/mass slaughter, indiscriminate killing, mass murder, mass execution, annihilation, liquidation, decimation, extermination; carnage, butchery, bloodbath, bloodletting, pogrom, genocide, ethnic cleansing, holocaust, night of the long knives; literary slaying.
