If you could get away with it, could you murder somebody?


“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.”
 
Don’t think I could do it up close and personal, but from a distance, say as a sniper, absolutely. No qualms whatsoever.
How many shots would you get?

I reckon I would need more than 1 go to hit someone with a sniper from distance, and they'd be off once the first shot misses, so then you've got a moving target.
 
Would you not get away lightly if it was proven self defence ? I know I would be capable if I was defending myself from attack, but that is the only instance I feel it would be justified.

Depends on a lot of factors, training being the obvious one. But if the question is could you pull the trigger, then yes.
 
No context as to why.

If you could with no consequences, could you actually?


For me it's a resounding NO

No decent person can "get away with it". They might not get caught, but they will never get away with it. For all the big swinging bravado on here, killing another human being would eat any normal person up.
 
Not many no. There was a famous case in America where someone abducted and abused someone's kid then the dad shot him in the head and got probation. It made the news for a reason; it's unusual.
A bloke shot a drink diver who killed his five year old on a zebra crossing. The drink driver was drunk banned and driving a truck. The father told the jury he just wanted to talk to the driver to get closure but took a gun along because he was scared of him. He shot him the jury acquitted. I think the judge was a bit pissed off iirc.
 
Most people could in the right circumstances.

The amount of people on this thread sat there stewing with a hit list in mind is a bit worrying though. :lol:
 
No I couldn’t.

Would really struggle if someone killed my children and didn’t get the desired punishment but I imagine I’d end up killing myself

Once watched a man self destruct who survived a large house fire but his kids didn’t.
Ended up death with alcohol.
It must be awful.

I have a brilliant prison story about revenge but too long to tell.
Bloke in my street when I was growing up was involved in a car crash, his toddler son was also in the car and died. How quickly the bloke turned from a fit and healthy 30 odd year old to a frail shell of himself was scary. My biggest fear is something happening to my kids. Anxious all the time about it.

Horrible thought ain’t it.
