What would it take for you to kill someone?
 

I was having a conversation with my girlfriend the other day and she was telling me that she learned in her criminology class that she, as a white female between the ages of 16 and 25 (or something like that) was more likely to be raped than anyone else. At that point, I told her that if anyone ever raped her, and the police got to him first, I would be the first person lined up to bail him out of jail, just so that I could be sure he spent the last moments of his miserable life begging for death.

That said, I think that that's the kind of thing it would take for me to kill someone. My question is, what would it take you?

$5,000

or if they hurt my family

Re: What would it take for you to kill someone?
 

theft.

Re: What would it take for you to kill someone?
 

$5,000? That doesn't seem like much. I think that I would have trouble killing someone for any amount of money, unless it was enough that I could be sure my entire family would be financially secure for the rest of their lives.

Also, what would it take if you knew for a fact that afterwards, you would definitely spend the rest of your life in jail?

FWIW, that's OZ-style, not jailhouse rock.

Them killing my mother. I would kill them and not think twice about it.

I'm pretty positive I could kill a complete stranger and get away with it. But I could be way wrong. I'm 99% sure i'll never find out.

a weapon

it does seem like it would be super easy to kill a stranger...

kill em, bury the body somewhere. with absolutely no motive it seems like it would be very hard for them to tie it back to you if they ever did find the body.

i agree completely.

Re: What would it take for you to kill someone?
 

to me killing out of revenge/anger simply doesn't make sense. if someone wrongs me or the ones i love, killing lets them off easy. i want to torture and abuse this person. i want them to feel pain. i want them to WISH that they were dead so that it would stop, but then do just enough to keep them alive. this is why the death penalty makes no sense to me. if there was a "lifetime of torture" sentence, that i could get behind. killing lets them off too easy.

Re: What would it take for you to kill someone?
 

No offense to anyone in this thread, but I've seen so many posts about how people wouldn't think twice to murder someone if they touched/hit/raped/hurt a loved one. Most of them have to be BS, I don't think there are that many killers on 2+2.

Re: What would it take for you to kill someone?
 

Well, first I'd have to know I could get away with it.

Then, I'd have to be able to actually see the guy.

Re: What would it take for you to kill someone?
 

It's pretty easy to say if bad guy x did something horrible to loved one y that we would kill them. I don't believe many would actually go through with it. In any case I'd rather see x sit in jail for a long time. Revenge is dumb. It never does any good.

I don't think the point of revenge is to do good.

It might sometimes accomplish what it IS going for, though.

However, most of the people trying to get revenge are probably actually the people whom revenge should be gotten against.

Just curious, but do either of you have children?

If you believe your childrens life or physical well-being to be threatened, instinct takes over.

Was someone causing a serious threat immediate danger to me or ones close to me and I could stop it fully and forever by killing them I believe I would.

I would require the abilty to merely wish death upon someone and have occur, making my acts undetectable. Were I granted this power, I would kill many, many people.
