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.

No thanks

Ohffsbarbara · 31/03/2024 21:12

Yes - and I reckon I’d do it myself. I’d use a gun, too squeamish for a knife

No - if it was random it could be someone you love or a child!

GraceyDoodles · 31/03/2024 21:15

No and no. Couldn't sleep at night either way.

RagzRebooted · 31/03/2024 21:16

Q1. Yes, if it was someone I felt really deserved it and I could do it myself.
Q2. No. As much as that money would be life-changing, I don't think the idea that I could have killed a child or a really good person would be something I could live with. I surprised myself as I'm quite pragmatic and did think hard about the answer. But no.

Shocked at how many people said yes to Q2

@Menomeno

Oh ffs.

FabulousWealthyTart · 31/03/2024 21:28
  1. How do you know we haven't?
  2. No

@Menomeno

Oh ffs.

So tell me there isn’t a member of the current cabinet who hasn’t got rich from the deaths of thousands of innocent people in this country, without blinking an eye about it? And the enablers who put them there are as much to blame. How could a person live with the death of a person if they could make money from it? Anyone who answers ‘Yes’ to Q2 is a psychopath and needs locking up.

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.

You would potentially have my 2 year old daughter killed so your family could live more comfortably?! I'm sorry OP but thats psychopathic.

Princesspollyyy · 31/03/2024 21:38
  1. Yes
  2. Yes

  1. yes and I'd use a hitman.
  2. yeah I think I would. (If no one else knew how I got my money!)
Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 31/03/2024 21:41

Oh I didn't think about it being a baby/child for #2. So in that case, no I wouldn't accept that

BouleDeSuif · 31/03/2024 21:44

Yes. The man who trafficked me.

No.

You stole no.2 from a film - The Box with Cameron Diaz

Not knowingly! But will put on my watchlist, thanks!

Mibbe I've heard someone talking about the plot of the film.

BakedBeanAddict · 31/03/2024 21:48

100% would kill my brother who SAed me as a child. He was 20+.

Cottoncandyflavaflav · 31/03/2024 21:52

No to both.

Even if I wanted someone dead, which I don't, I don't want to be a killer so it just wouldn't interest me. I also don't consider myself to be judge, jury and executioner.

tillytoodles1 · 31/03/2024 21:59

1 No
2 how would you feel if a random person did this and it was a close family member of yours that died.

RamblingAroundTheInternet · 31/03/2024 22:01
  1. Yes. I’d want them to suffer too but I couldn’t do it myself or witness it. It’d have to be a hitman!
  2. Hmm could we specify that the random person was over the age of 90 and was not very nice?
Newestname002 · 31/03/2024 22:01

He's already dead - Hitler. 🌹

RottingInBed · 31/03/2024 22:03

I really am genuinely surprised that no-one would accept ONE MILLION POUNDS sitting right in front of them. Esp if no-one found out how you got it. Maybe responses would be different if say we were in the states and that money would pay for an operation for your child which they wouldn't otherwise get. And in that case, would it need to be lifesaving or just lifechanging....many ponderings!

OP posts:
Boombatty · 31/03/2024 22:05

So you're basically saying you'd be an assassin as long as the pay was good?

It wouldn't matter to me whether anyone else knew where it came from. I'd know and it would bother me.

And no, I wouldn't even do it for my child to have a life saving operation.

or the person had pissed me off by, say, cutting me up in traffic. As long as I get away with it - YES!
