Would you let an innocent person die to save your skin?

Broads.ie

Picture this:

You're working in a bank when a load of armed thugs hold the place up. You press the secret police button under the desk and the cops are on the scene in 5 minutes and have the bank surrounded.

One of the thugs grabs a woman/man/child from the crowd, holds a gun to their head and says "Which one of you called the cops?!!! If you don't show yourself I'm going to blast this innocent person's head off!!!!"

Would you own up? If you do, they could kill you... Or would you just sit back and watch as they blast the civilian in the ceann?

But I'd be innocent too.

I'd just hang on a while to see if Bruce Willis/Chuck Norris shows up.

I'm sure it'd be just as funny in real life as it is in the films when someone gets splattered

Was the child annoying me in any way before he was grabbed?

"Why does it matter, the cops are already here"

Then I'd argue the "merits" of a prison sentence for (a) armed robbery instead of a prison sentence for (b) armed robbery + first degree murder.*

If they're a professional gang they're not going to shoot anyone, plus they know the cops will be there soon. They'll leg it.

I'd blame my bank colleague that's always pulling pranks on me. That bastard has had it coming for a long time, plus he stole my stapler.

If JCVD is anything to go by, it's likely he'll just walk in looking for a loan anyway.

He knew he wasnt really going to die. That's not much of a sacrifice.

Well I would blame the secret police for not being secret enough.

If I worked in a bank then I wouldn't be innocent....or honest

So I wouldn't own up :pac:

Teyla Emmagan

Would completely depend on my mood. Somedays I'm all bleedin heart and would happily sacrifice myself for some randomer. Other days I'd hide behind my own mother to save my miserable hide.

Hormones, crazy things.

Yes because the person behind the counter in your local branch has of course been making all the decisions and stealing your money...


I'd own up, but I reckon most people would say that wouldn't they? Though I guess pure terror might stop you from being able to speak, even if you wanted to.

sensibleken

Id let innocent people die so i wouldnt have to queue for my sandwich

CrazyRabbit

As I would not be the one pulling the trigger, my conscience would be clear. I have no responsibility for who they choose to kill.

Really??? Because I was just being sarcastic but now I know the truth I'd let the robber blow my head off.

TripleAce

I'd stand up like a man....and point the blame to the oldest person around
