Would you kill...?

244 replies

RottingInBed · 31/03/2024 20:10

Hello again

This is my 2nd crime related post of the night! Have been binge-watching stuff.

My questions are:

  1. is there anyone you would kill if you knew 100% you would get away with it? (If yes, would you want to do it yourself or via a hitman?) and

  2. would you accept say £1million but you knew that a random person you don't know would drop dead?

Bet I'm going to have some fcked up dreams tonight!

Thanks for any responses.

  1. No.
  1. No, not if it could be literally anyone e.g. a toddler or a young mum or whatever. If I knew that the person who'd die was already dying, then possibly.
Squirrelsnut · 31/03/2024 20:13
  1. Yes. There are a few people I can think of who have caused the death and suffering of millions.
  2. Definitely not.

No
No

Would you?!

Doihavetogotoworkdotcom1 · 31/03/2024 20:14

It’s tempting!

ByUmberViewer · 31/03/2024 20:15
  1. Yes, there are loads of people I'd kill if I was 100% sure i'd get away with it. Every sex offender on the streets to start with.
  2. No
Isseywith3witchycats · 31/03/2024 20:16

No
No

spidermonkeys · 31/03/2024 20:16

1 yes
2 no

Userxyd · 31/03/2024 20:17

Obviously. Some people definitely make the world a much more dangerous place and are responsible for loads of deaths so should be dispensed with.

No to the random stranger (even with the infinetesimal chance that it could be someone from the first category 😆)

CrunchyCarrot · 31/03/2024 20:20
  1. No
  2. No
EatCrow · 31/03/2024 20:20

No to both but I confess I’ve wished it on (bastards - don’t know how to do strike through) many times. I feel it’s not a good way to deal with things though no matter how much deserved.

OP, what about you?!

iamwhatiam23 · 31/03/2024 20:22
  1. Absolutely yes, and i would use a hitman!
  2. No definitely not
heldinadream · 31/03/2024 20:23

Yes Putin. I'd actually like to think I could do it myself, but I'm not sure I could.

No.

mynameiscalypso · 31/03/2024 20:24

No. I actually have no idea how I would kill someone if I was going to.

RottingInBed · 31/03/2024 20:24

Oooh, several responses!

I think these are mine:

  1. If I could press a button/hire a hitman and make someone disappear then yes, there are quite a few folk who'd be getting erased, even for something quite trivial esp if I did it in a fit of rage at work! If I had to kill them myself I could do it quite cheerfully if they'd hurt my family member. Or maybe they were a particularly awful criminal.

  2. Yes. Very reluctantly. Because 1m would totally change my family's life. Would I do if for 100k though? Hmmm. Probs not.

I do wonder though how I'd feel afterwards though, in all scenarios.

Theimpossiblegirl · 31/03/2024 20:24

Yes
No, unless I could choose.

thefamous5 · 31/03/2024 20:25
  1. Yes.
  2. No
thefamous5 · 31/03/2024 20:25

But...I would be tempted with the second one, but I couldn't do it m.

EatCrow · 31/03/2024 20:25

Crikey! Are you sure this binge watching is good for you! 😮

Alargeoneplease89 · 31/03/2024 20:26

Yes

Yes

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 31/03/2024 20:26

No to both. Even if I knew I would definitely get away with it. I would still know I was responsible for somebody dying and I wouldn’t be able to have a good life knowing that about myself.

RottingInBed · 31/03/2024 20:27

@EatCrow Yeah, I really need to get outside tomorrow or at least watch some comedy!

I should have written Q1 so that it excluded like war criminals and stuff. I mean someone you just dislike or have a grudge with. If you could get rid of them and get away with it, would you do it.

Chunkycookie · 31/03/2024 20:28

No to both.

Because I believe I would go to hell.

I’ve got a list of people for number one though, fuck my catholic upbringing.

Kneeslikethese · 31/03/2024 20:28

Yes. I'd do it myself, someone who hurt one of my children.

No. Not for money.

Boombatty · 31/03/2024 20:28

No and no.
