could you kill

[gixxerboy1]

We all say i would kill a person if they did something horrible to a family mememer of yours. But do you think you would or could. Do you think you could follow them home or kick in their door and do it? Shoot them or beat them to death? I know some people have moral issues that wouldnt allow them.

Some reason i was thinking about this and figured it would make a good discusion.

[StoneGRMI]

It would likely have to be something very very horrible that they did. Most the time people are going to say yes they could but in reality I think most would come to their senses and not want to ruin their life by committing a crime that would put them away.

[Lemonada8]

^^ ditto....

if it was a 'scary movie' type of thing, where they were comin to kill me, then i think i could, but other than that... it would be more a total beat down as much as i could.... i dunno if i could kill someone, like plan it out and everything, but in self defense where they were gonna kill me... yeah i could

[Kratos]

No question in my mind, yes, I would have no problem killing someone if I made up my mind to do it. I will most likely go my whole life without killing someone though, I'm a very relaxed, non angry person. I've rarely gotten in fights in my life, only when forced, I'm super forgiving and unlikely to be ruled by rage.

The law scares me more than doing the crime. I don't think I could live a life in prision. I would make a good criminal and most likely not get caught, I would think it through and not leave evidence, bodies and murder weapons around. But, if they do catch you, uhhh, that would suck.

[gixxerboy1]

in the moment self defence i wouldn even have to think about it.

If someone hurt a loved one. It would have to be something serious but yes i could hunt them down and kill.

[B.E.N.]

If someone were to mess with my daughter I would maim and murder without a second thought. I'm talking some sicko rapist or pedophile. The law does not take care of these people appropriately in my opinion.

One reason I work out...I take pleasure in knowing Tommy Tough Titties fears me and thinks twice about popping off.

In fact since she was born old Dad is working on his concealed carry permit.

Me: 'So you want to take my daughter to prom?' *removes pistol from holster*

Boy runs screaming from house...

[TJM7275]

Well never thought I could until I went into the military, but I derived no pleasure or pain from it. Now it would have to be some extreme situation, like some dude hurting my baby. Then i would make him dig his own grave before I put him in it...

[Lemonada8]

^^ why dont u do what they did in bad boyz II...

that was fukin halirous... but i got a boy first so cant do that ... maybe next one... be a girl... polish that shotty

[Pooks]

Prolly Yah..
I think as a person gets older they get more open to the idea.
not sure what happens when u start getting wicked old though.

[G4R]

Like you said, if someone did something to someone in my family, like hurt or worse to one of my kids or my wife etc. oh, I wouldn't hesitate a second.... now on the same token, I have told my wife numerous times, if I catch her cheating on me, I am shooting out both of her kneecaps and I would take the guy, and strap jumper cables to his nuts and "jump em'...... I think she understands...

Smart! Its not attempted murder if you shoot her below the waist. Yah same with me if someone does something really bad to my family. Like depending on the severity they would either get a beating, window smashed car, blown up car, or killed.

[Voice of Reason]

Well about 3 years ago I uhh... nevermind.

[DSM4Life]

This might sound disturbing but i really think i could. I am good at being able to detach feelings given certain situations.

Of course there would have to be a really good reason for me doing something this horrible = hurting a family member, best friend, or getting dirt on my newly wash car.

[thecivilizedanimal]

i think about killing and maiming and mutilating people alot.


not nice people though, i have morals but veryy little patience for rapists, murders etc.,

i'd love to have a local militia,

like in ireland, lol men with woolly faces




long live the red hand !


i was named after mad dog adair hahahh

Yes, I would. After careful planning, of course.

[Kale]

Not me, I would just pay somebody else to do it

[goose]

Not me, I would just pay somebody else to do it

LOL,very smart.Its great to know the london under world

[NATE0406]

i could without even thinking twice about it. i wouldnt lose any sleep.

[bone$]

i couldnt- my uncle has a 40 year sentence for killing a man after he told my uncles wife to go "F**k herself", the shit it puts your family through just aint worth it..

[bone$]

...not to bring this discussion to a too serious topic..lol

[rockinred]

no, not anymore... and i don't won't to think about any hypotheticals that might warrant it either....makes me feel bad inside, not necessary to think about.

[G-1000]

With out any remorse at all.

I have a few way i would get rid of someone.

[number twelve]

i have too much to lose

[FallenWyvern]

Hurt one of my kids or my wife and I will find out then.

[buffgator]

If I walked in on someone raping or killing my wife or daughter I would kill them in the heat of the moment. I only think that I could kill in the heat of the moment though. I could not spend more than a couple seconds thinking about it or else I would start to come to more rational thinking. My wifes (now ex wife) ex husband was sentanced to 5 years in Jail for drugs and child abuse. He told his mom he was going to kill both of us when he got out. My dad gave me a hand gun and told me that if he ever forces his way into our house let him come in than put his f*cking brains against the wall. So I guess I had put before hand thought into that.

[SMCengineer]

Nope. In fact, I have nightmares about killing someone (I'm sure a lot of you do too) and the amount of guilt it would cause.

I mostly kill dogs that are attacking me in my dreams.

[Tock]

I had a job where I used to put dogs and cats "to sleep." It was awful (I'll spare y'all the details about having to kill a cardboard box of six 2-week old puppies). But I discovered that I could do it, and I've been through all the rationalization process where you convince yourself that what you're doing is a good thing.

So, yes, given sufficient motivation, tools, and opportunity, I could kill someone. I'd probably think about it from time to time, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it . . .

Well, if you're talking about mercy killing or euthanasia than my answer may be different, but I wouldn't know unless I was confronted with the issue.

You see that i could not do. I would rather see 100 people die rather then one dog. I would not have lasted 2min at that job.

Most people get physically sick when they start that job, and I was no exception. Lost my lunch every day for a week . . .
I figured I may as well do it, because the dogs couldn't be turned loose without making lots more stray dogs, getting sick or runover by cars and trucks. From what I saw as a city dogcatcher, putting them to sleep was a lot more humane than setting them free.

Anyway, I adjusted to the job as did lots of other people. I doubt that too many people couldn't, in time, learn to do the job without much objection.

You would have to pay me at least 200k/year to do that.

Insightful post and the truth.

There are some people I would much rather kill than puppies...

[SMCengineer]

I'm pretty sure most people have had dreams of killing someone, wheter on purpose or by accident and than feeling like your own life is over. Those are the worst dreams.

yes i could and would without hesitation.. I was trained (brainwashed) at an early age of 18 when i went into the USAF..

It's about thinking of a situation, visualizing it, deciding on a course of action long before you ever get into that type of situation.. thus, it becomes 2nd nature.. we use to train at the thought process, it's 2nd nature now, probably always will be..

Example.. I asked my wife.. if we were walking through a parking lot.. lets say in downtown at about 6:30 in the evening, and a man approached and produced a gun and demanded that we both get in the trunk of the car..

what would she do?? before she answered, i told her i would work on getting close to the man, and i would make a play for the gun (remember, i've been trained) She said she would scream and run for help.. I told her no, as i was wrestling with the guy, she was to jump on his back, choking him if possible wrapping her legs around him as we all 3 crash to the ground..I may or may not be able to overpower him, or take the gun away, but with her added weight, the noise we would be making and hopefully the gun would go off , causing all the noise we would need to get help to us fast..

If i were to get the gun away from him.. would i shot him??

depends on his actions, does he jump up from the ground and come at me?? no?? he turns and runs?? i'd let him go..

if he were to attempt a grab at me or the wife?? i'd empty the gun on him..

easy as that..

[B.E.N.]

i'd empty the gun on him..

easy as that..

OK...psycho! HA!

If someone ever pulled a gun on me they better kill me fast.

[Flagg]

EVERYONE has the potential to kill, it's human nature.

There are different forms of killing though. Pre-deditated murder would seem the hardest to follow through on, but impulse killing is another matter.


You could kill someone in self defence, if you saw someone kill a loved one infront of you, the impulse to kill that person would be huge, to protect a lovd on...to kill for the self preservation of yourself or others is probabaly more possible than people think.

I've had it happen twice, what you think you will do and what you do become two very different things. When you see that peice, you don't move. 90% of the time they arn't gonna use it, you do the math in your head weather you know it or not.
