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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Who hasn't?

Some "fellow road users".

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

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

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.

Another Garda bait post, eh?

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.

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.

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.

Defo, but mushrooms are one that most people will readily eat if it's put in front of them as part of a dish and does not look or taste unusual or unpleasant.

Whenever you are hosting a dinner party, I am washing my hair.

I have watched & read my fair share of crime and murder mysteries.

I may or may not have my own little black book.

Easier than drying, powering and disguising plant material. As long as they eat shrooms

Try the chicken and mushroom soup. Try all of it.

I don't think I've ever imagined killing someone, anyone, other than myself of course :P

That wouldn't be murder then Leg End, it'd mitigated to manslaughter.
Murder requires a coincidence of Mens Rea and an Actus Reus.

A variety of defences to a murder charge allow for provocation.

If I was a delivery driver and wasn't tipped at least 2 euro I'd probably murder the customer to be honest.
