Have you ever considered murdering somebody?

Hammer89

Let's say you've caught the wife playing away from home with Alan Flood - Floodser from secondary school no less - or your boss is bullying you and calling you names like knob boy or uranium face.

Let's just say somebody needed to go. Would you kill them? I know what you're thinking. You're thinking you don't want to do the time if you do the crime, and therefore you wouldn't go ahead with it, but what if you didn't have to do the time? What if there was quite a good chance you would get away with it? What if the guards only solved 72 percent of homicides, giving you a 28 percent chance of getting away with murder? That's a real stat I read in The Irish Times today.

Only 72% of homicides were solved last year, which seems very low. So, if you did want to kill somebody, somebody like Floodser, then you can do so in the knowledge that the guards probably won't find you if you do it well enough.

Floodser at it again is he? The f*cking c*nt.

I firmly believe all humans are capable of murder if they are caught in serious enough circumstances.

Except uranium face, he's a pussy.

I’m tempted to go with the Liam Neeson meme here but you’d probably kill me for it

Never given it any serious consideration tbh, but there have been a few times in my life when I lost the rag and realised afterwards I could have come awfully close to being charged with manslaughter if I’d killed the guy. It’s not something I’ve ever consciously thought about doing, it’s not just a question of doing the time, it’s that I simply don’t have the right to end another human life.

I could murder a sandwich right now.

No, because the guilt of it isnt worth it

I couldn't hurt anyone to save my life. No way could I murder someone.

Murdering someone is easy its getting away with it that s the hard part.
look at graham o dwyer.only for nature doing what it does he would have got away with it.

KathleenGrant

Oh wait to save one of my kids or grandkids. No problem

Heat of the moment type affair, Brian? I'd agree with that.

Planning it and looking up stats to see how likely you are to get caught if you stove that c*nt Floodser's head in with a lump hammer is a different story though.

I've murdered alot of people on boards.

If someone was a real, immediate threat to my kids. I would absolutely try my best to kill them.

This is the factor that has always given me great cause for consideration, do all those who murder feel guilt? I'm assuming that most people who plan a murder as opposed to accidental cases or killings as a result of fits of blind rage have somewhat valid reasons at least in there own mind. If you have come to the conclusion that X deserves to die because of Y reasons then obviously you've taken some time to try and rationalize it.

I'm discounting those who kill for some sense of gratification or similar as obviously this would cloud there judgement. Let's take for example that I feel deeply wronged by an individual who will most likely continue to wrong me in future if left unpunished. Yes other's may say that it's not my right to end said individuals life and that there are other options available. However I'm not interested in the thoughts of others and for the purpose of this debate will only consider my own. I proceed to murder the other individual and remove the threat as I see it. Hopefully I've covered my tracks sufficiently to prevent conviction and I continue on with my life safe in the knowledge that I did what was necessary to safeguard my future.

Perhaps I may feel some sympathy for those left behind and wish that thing's had been different. However I still believe I took the only course of action available to me and that I can now move forward with my life. It seems very unlikely to me that all murderers have a sudden moment of clarity and fall to there knee's begging forgiveness for what they have done. Yes murder is a gruesome business and isn't something to be undertaken lightly but the factors and reasoning involved will vary enormously.

God no, never even truly hated anyone. Except for someone murdered your wife/child/mother type of scenarios I dont think I ever will. I dont like someone I just dont have anything to do with them.

The former - all the time at work in my case. Like many.

Ah, murder. No greater symbol that reflects human elitism over the rest of the natural world.

Alas though I must confess, I killed Roger Rabbit.

Coincidentally, I've just come from this link:

and at this moment, I would happily put an end to the life of the piece of excrement who did this.

weldoninhio

I reckon it would be easy enough to kill someone. People have been doing it since the beginning of time. Once you did one or two I think any guilt would disappear and it’d be fairly handy. Apparently random murders are very difficult to solve.

corsav6

For survival and protection only. I wouldn't think twice about killing someone if they posed a threat to me or my family.
I avoid confrontation where possible and believe that most situations can be talked through and no need to resort to violence.

Theres a greater than 7 in 10 chance.. so they probably will.

fkn floodster - I used to work for him AND he took my wife

Leg End Reject

I have often considered it, but the guilt and fear of being caught would deter me.

If I was to murder someone it would be an irrational reaction to anger etc., rather than premeditated and meticulously planned. I'm not that cracked.

freshpopcorn

Not really. I may have thought it would be nice if their car burst into flames tough!

rapul

Who hasn't?

AulWan

Some "fellow road users".

I'd even make it look like an accident...

Mad_maxx

NO, but I have ( in the distant past) thought about killing myself on a particular person's property, it's the sort of thing that would be difficult to forget so a good form of revenge in my view

Yes, this person had a profound effect on my life and not a day goes by that I don't think about them despite not having seen or spoken to them since 1998

anewme

Not sure about murder, but theres a couple of places I drive through where lone female motorists have been "carjacked".

When stopped at lights, I always leave enough space between myself and car in front that I can drive away if cornered.

Aceandstuff

Another Garda bait post, eh?

Widdershins

My best friends would make jokes about the myriad ways we could do away with a certain person who crossed me in a big way, but I'll just laugh it off but refuse to even joke about it. It's one of those things you're better off not entertaining in your mind. The best revenge is a life well lived. Capable in theory? Yes, but willing? no.

I can kind of see why they'd want him dead more than I do though. They had to endure my going on about him day and night for at least a week.

Same here , there's an average of at least eight dead before I get into work in the morning.

On a more darker side , one of my paternal great grandparents was a UK born Romany Gypsy who could apparently place curses on people.

I can vaguely remember my grandmother giving out to my father when he made a joke about the story.

Needless to say I've been trying for years to place curses on people

I’d say a good proportion of the people on this website could do with the curse from Thinner.

I used to think about it way more than I do now but very much in an idle fantasy way and not actual realistic plan I’m gonna carry out way.

There are some crazy statistics out there on stuff like this about how frequently people think about committing violence and even killing. The numbers are crazy high (for both genders too). Most people have thought about it at some stage I’d say.

The Garda stat, I’m not sure what to make of; when do they regard a murder as solved? If it requires a court conviction then it may be just a case of the case taking time to be prosecuted? Or if a lot of the killings are gangland criminal related they may very well know who wanted it to happen etc. but not who specifically committed the act.

So I’d hold off on ordering those body bags just for now.

The Destroying Angel mushroom, amanita virosa, is very common and can be found growing from spring into the winter in Ireland. It is bright white, not very unlike a large portobello, apparently tastes quite good, and a single cap is enough to kill a human being. Symptoms of amatoxin poisoning can take up to 48 hours to present themselves after ingestion, by which time all care is palliative.

So yes, I have considered it.

That 28% is 19 cases. The killer(s) will probably slip up somewhere in the next few years and the Feds will get them.
