    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

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

    No, because the guilt of it isnt worth it

    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.

    I have a mind to kill you father.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,817 ✭✭✭Raconteuse


    Do you mean just thinking about it knowing that you'd never do it, or actually putting a serious plan in motion?

    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.

    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.
