Excluding wars.

Do you know somebody that has killed another person?

Does it make a difference to the way you see them?

A few years ago I knew a fella that had killed somebody, downright nice bloke to talk to.

Always felt uneasy around him though (after I found out)!!

It got me thinking, 6 degrees etc, most people must know a killer of some description.

i used to live near the idiot who caused 2 deaths when driving a stolen car.
the police car chasing him crashed into a car killing one officer and the car driver.

the thief didnt learn his lesson and apparently was stealing cars the day he got out of jail.
They very rarely do learn their lesson mad

My gf is doing placement at a school in glasgow. Taking the register yesterday she asked the main teacher why 2 boys had been off for a long time.

Teacher replies that one boy is in jail for murdering the other. May just be a glasgow thing though.

Very, Very interesting topic.

The subject of murders, and more specifically the mindset of the murder is something that interests me greatly. I understand that this may sound incredibly creepy, but I have always wondered what it'd be like to kill another human being. Dealing with the emotions and the altered mental state, if indeed there even is one. I know that it is easy to say this without ever doing it for real, but right now I don't think I'd have a single problem with taking another person's life, providing that there was an entirely reasonable justification for it (namely them directly putting another person's life in danger).

That being said, I've just watched "Three Guys and a Hammer" without so much as blinking, although reading the columnist's views did make me take a step back to realize that when viewing those videos, I don't read much at all into the Victim and the pain he/she is suffering. I've more interested in the act itself, the physical effects and what thoughts the person behind the other side of the Hammer/Knife/Firearm are... Don't get me wrong, I can feel empathy for the victim, but as far as I'm concerned watching the video, the pain suffered by that person is long over, and I really struggle to get too caught up on that.

Anyway. Keep it up Fellas...

I have. It's a weird feeling to know you have inadvertently taken someone elses life.
You mind telling us a little more?

No worries if not, of course.
Car accident, March 2004. Relatively minor accident except for my friend not having his seatbelt on. Rear door opened on my 206 and he went through a wall.

Not much more to tell. I dont remember a lot due to selective memory loss.
How did he go through a wall?

Do you blame yourself? Doesn't sound like your fault!!

Just to bring this back up, I found out the other day that somebody that used to frequent my local boozer is on the run in America for apparently killing a bloke (I have a fairly good idea of what it will be over as well).

I'd like to be able to say he's a decent alround fella and I can't believe it etc...

In reality he is an out and out ahole.
