Your best friend just killed someone...

[Times Roman]

So let's take this to an extreme.....

so let's say it is murder.

I still wouldn't say anything right off the bat.

Instead, I'd consider the following:

was it a righteous kill? if yes, I'm silent.
if the victim didn't deserve to die, and my best friend was totally in the wrong, then I'd consider one last bit...

if the victim didn't deserve it, AND left behind loved ones, I'd probably be open and honest about what I saw.
If the victim left no one behind, then I'd probably talk, but be guarded in what I said.

Look, best friends don't grow on trees. It takes years to really cultivate the bond that comes with such a friendship, and with it, a deep understanding of who that person is and what they are capable of doing. If I knew someone that was at risk of uncontrollable emotions and actions, I would certainly know it. And I wouldn't care of I wouldn't be interested in anything other than merely an acquaintance friendship.

this is why I don't like these "serious" what if scenarios, because quite often the parameters don't mirror any probably reality.

TR ur a good dude

if it was my best friend and he told me it was self defense i would believe him. what kind of friend would i be if i did anything else? either way the dude is dead. you're not bringing him back. sounds like my only incentive in talking would be to cover my own ass and that's NOT what best friends do. they cover each others' asses.
