Poll: Would you kill a man?

[PerfectCherryBlossom]

I've never wanted to kill a person, so first of all I'd try to disarm him or knock him out. However if that didn't work then ofcourse I would kill him.

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

Yes. And it's quite possible I'd got back to sleep afterwords.

i'm with this guy.
after i drank some coffee with the cops.

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

Hmmm...to defend myself, maybe. To defend my significant other/friend/family, hell yes. Straight up, he'd get a kunai in the throat. I practice with mine every day and sharpen them every night. I can hit a target the size of a maple leaf from twelve paces consistently.

i used to throw knives, but i wasn't that good. :] impressive!

 

[The_Echo]

When I read the thread title, I instantly thought "... For a Klondike bar, I would."

But here's my real answer. Yes. I mean, it's either me or him, and I'm not about to go down without a fight!

 

[Kruxxor]

Yes, even if the man was unarmed I would still kill him. And yes, even if it was a woman that broke in, I would kill her.

If they were unarmed, I would plant some sort of weapon on the body.

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

for all those who said they'd simply 'subdue' the guy, you kinda gotta think about those weird cases. ie: robber falls through skylight and falls on a knife. sues and WINS. also, some other robber got attacked by a dog. sued, and WINS.

though killing someone so as not to get sued isn't a very good reason... but as they say, 'don't pull a gun unless you plan to kill.'

or something like that.

 

[Mockingjay]

No. I reckon if a man/woman endangered the lives of my family/friends I could probably put him/her in enough pain to immobilize him/her and then I'd phone the police. I couldn't kill a man. I couldn't take a life.

 

[Sewblon]

I would kill him, then I would kill his friends, his family, his families friends, and his friend's families. To make sure that no one attempts to avenge him.

 

[cprs_]

In that situation, if the attacker attempts to use lethal force first, then yes, you would be completely justified.

 

[Aesir23]

Yes, but then I would likely need some therapy after.

 

[IxionIndustries]

Yes, I would. Then I would chop his god damned head off, stuff it full of cotton balls, and hang it on my wall.
Then, I'd piss on his headless corpse, as I lower it into the hole I dug in my backyard.
Then, I would go to sleep, needing it after the required physical exertion needed to mangle a corpse.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Nah, Do you know what happens to guys like me in jail.

 

[lupe]

I would have to say yes. I mean, I already hospitalized a man for trying to mug me, and even in self defense I do feel like I pushed things too far, but I'm in no particular hurry to let someone kill me. I would try reasoning first, but I'm not gonna keep playing that card while he's swinging an axe at me or something.

 

[Skeleon]

The problem with that is simple: I severely doubt that once I had someone who had just wronged me in a very large way unconscious and helpless I wouldn't proceed to open them up with a kitchen knife to find out what makes them tick.

Once again, everything about this paragraph tells me you're joking.
Yet you assured me of your seriousness so my equally serious advice is this:
Go see a psychologist and talk about your urges in a relaxed and professional setting.
It's not shameful to admit you have a problem dealing with others; very, very many people can't really interact socially, far more than you'd probably think.
It would be shameful, though, to just keep going without trying to change.

 

[bait.edu]

Yes. I would kill anyone I found in my house who was not invited.

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Yeah, I would. I might try to avoid it so I'd stay out of court, but I'd kill somebody if I had to.

Those who claim murder is not an action ever taken by sensible people of sound mind should understand the truly vague nature of "sanity" in the first place. In my experience, the only "sane" people are those completely convinced of their own insanity, and the ones who claim to be "normal" are the folks you have to watch. Normalcy is a lie. It's a subjective, conformist and arbitrary measurement used to brainwash people into believing whatever one wants them to believe. "A normal person doesn't behave like X. A normal person doesn't do Y. A normal person always obeys Z, etc."

Once a person steps onto my property without my permission (especially at night, or in the company of others), I have to assume there are no limits to what he will do. If he doesn't have limits, well, neither can I have them if I want to stay alive and protect people important to me. Any hesitation can be fatal, and cooperating with him might just get me killed. Murder, pah! I'll resort to assassination if I think that's the only way my loved ones and I can escape with our lives.

 

[Zersy]

If he broke into my house trying to kill me, i would try very hard not to kill him or to disarm him in some way. If forced to, yes i would kill him without a second thought.

Ditto

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

He would already be stuck in the man traps outside the door..if he made it to the door past the land mines..

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

You can't really say No or that you wouldn't atleast try to kill him as your survival instincts would take over I suppose though if you really hate killing you might just try disarm him atleast but ugh effort just do it!!
Unless you were shocked and frozen which can happen.

 

[WittyName]

I'd risk killing him to save my own life.
But I wouldn't be intent on killing him.

Pretty much this.
