please stop putting words in other people mouths

what I'm was saying is that from only reading the title in international press a lot of people would get a wrong picture

nothing in their says that what they did is okayish

just far less bad then idk. trying to kill as many people of a specific group as possible with a bomb

which is what I would think happened when I read gang bombings in US media

You are relativating great crimes. You are embracing and supporting euphemistic language. At the level of this crime it's nuances of 'killings'.
you are twisting what people write, putting words in their mouth and intentional side track the original argument which was about the formulation of the title to one which assumes it's about the content of the article

and no matter how much you insist that grate crime is all equality bad the situation a country is in when there are frequent assassination attempts by bomb and the situation Sweden is in is VERY different

so if you are not Swedich newspaper it's a good idea to add the necessary context when writing about it, which is impossible in the title, so you use a more generic title
