Do You Know Anybody That Has Killed Another Person?
Discussion
On the other side of the coin...
When I was about 7, I was playing in some woods near a friends house in Surrey. We were approached, talked to and finally chased by John Duffy, later imprisoned for two murders (acquitted of a third) and seven rapes.

Jesus, thats scary!!!When I was about 7, I was playing in some woods near a friends house in Surrey. We were approached, talked to and finally chased by John Duffy, later imprisoned for two murders (acquitted of a third) and seven rapes.
I wonder how many other people have come so close to dangerous situations such as this?
I thought of a couple of people I know now that have killed someone. Both white South Africans...one shot someone trying to get in to her car and the other shot someone she found in her house.
The 2nd persons husband was in the security business (not dodgy) in SA and really knows how to handle himself either armed or unarmed. Typical of someone like that he is not especially tall and although obviously very fit is not huge with rippling muscles....As Andy McNab would say he is able to play the grey man.

my cousin has just been given 30 years for torturing and killing a rapist, then hiding his body in a storm drain
Bleeding hell. 
I know its a bit different but:
My mates just finished his first tour of Afghanistan, we asked him all sorts of questions & unlike some he's happy to talk to people about it (not bragging mind).
He was saying how they were holding an area when they got a radio message saying a guy had just placed an IED and was riding off on a motorbike, they sent a sniper out with his spotter, saw this guy riding a motorbike, calculated his speed, wind etc & took him out from a fair distance, mate said it was a bit surreal.
Know a guy who was in the marines for the best part of his late teens / twenties & early 30's he said he's seen & done stuff he does'nt ever want to talk about again & won't talk about it to anyone again...

Armed Escort guards who were driving me through a very bloody riot (bodies everywhere, mainly machete wounds) had to shoot a couple of over-excited chaps who were trying to get into our Land Rover with pistols and machetes. At first they went for the legs, but that just seemed to anger them. Was bloody scary at the time, if a bit surreal. Gunshots sound nothing like they do in films.

Said dealer phones him to say "if you don't sort this out i'll be visiting your wife" he goes straight over to the guys house and cuts his throat with a kitchen knife.
I can't say I don't have a certain sympathy for this one. Not that you should ever take the law into your own hands kids, etc etc.But I'd find it hard to completely condemn someone who did.

I got pretty close once, but that was when I was living in South Africa and pretty much everybody there has had similar experiences.
I also went to school with a lot of guys that had done so, but it is a rough place.
Yep, I knew someone that got stabbed at my school in South Africa, only remember because the ambulance made us late for our cricket match.I also went to school with a lot of guys that had done so, but it is a rough place.

Bloody hell, what country was that in? This sort of thing happens all the time in Africa, but seeing as most news correspondents are too chicken to even live there in the first place, it never gets reported. When I was out there the BBC correspondent lived in Ghana, and only went to Lagos or Abuja if he was told to by the BBC.
