What would you do? (....IF your closest friend killed someone?) - Read 1st Post

^^ Didn't suggest it wasn't justifiable, rather that society has reached a real low point when people need to think that way.

Similar to how nobody hitch-hikes, anymore.

I'd rather we didn't think about the possible bad consequences and simply did the right thing.
 
Well I wouldn't really do anything except for keep watch like a good samaritan and nosy neighbour up until the point of violence then intercede and/or call police to do it.
Growing up and travelling thru pretty rough neighbourhoods you sorta get used to the sound of drunkeness and squabbling/verbal abuse. You just have to be the adult and get in control of the situation when there's a gut instinct rising in you from the danger exhibited.

Does this sound like a harsh or a plausible way to react? I also think that until a serious crime is committed, why should you trouble with other people's affairs. The problem is then what is a serious crime?

Wow.

Your right. I havent seen a hitch hiker for years and years.

I pretty much hitched everywhere when I was a kid. I lived a good 15 klms from any public transport so if you wanted to get anywhere...........you get your finger out.

I think it's totally plausible....I get what you mean about coming from rough neighbourhoods, you kind of get a sense of what is everyday shit behaviour and what is unusually violent behaviour which needs to be addressed...it's a lot easier to be idealistic when those ideals have never really had to face reality. You tend to be a bit more pragmatic about your idealism when you know that idealism doesn't always carry that much weight..
 
What if that woman was a homeless person? Seriously, same situation as Maz started with but instead both of the people involved are homeless.

What, in all honesty, would you do?
 
I would definitely do whatever I could to beat down the guy.

No woman deserves to be in an abusive relationship. Iv experienced the reprecussions to that first hand, as my father used to be abusive.

Ever siince i would never ever ever allow for a women to be beaten unneccecarily. unless she tried to go against my authoritative hand.


.... that was a joke

In all seriousness I encourage anybody who has been in this situation to do something about it, EXCEPT call the cops.

sometimes that makes things worst. if your gonna do something about it, knock on the door/break the fuckers window and beat him the fuck down .
 
What would you do 2?

Before reading, in order to answer this one accurately you need to imagine that it truly is your very bestest closest most loved and cherished friend or relative that is the person talking to you.


Your most loved friend, soul mate, relative, bf, gf or whatever speaks to you in confidence over a cup of coffee.

"Ten years ago to the day, I killed xxxxxxx in a fit rage" your told.

You knew xxxxxxx and have always wondered what happenned.



What would you do?


Not only what would you do in relation to the law but what would this knowledge mean to the relationship?


What other problems is this knowledge going to cause?


How is this likely to affect you both short and long term?



Would you have preferred if you never learned about this or is it better to have known?















Mods, I will try and pose a different question weekly and figured its easier to give each new scenario its own thread initially but as the old one is finished with then maybe they could be merged into the one thread for cleanliness and organisational sake. Hope you dont mind............thanks and kisses.
 
I have to say I'd probably turn them in. There's no way I could be around them and not think about it. Not to mention being worried about it, who's to say they wouldn't get struck by another 'fit of rage' and kill you?

Definately better to find out too, because as hard as it is, at least you have closure.
 
I would have to turn them in too.
I`m a pretty forgiving person but you have to draw the line at murder.

Especially if it was a fit of rage not self defence.
Doubt I`d wish they had`nt told me . I would want to know if my S/o was a murderer for sure.
 
A song by Clawfinger called When everything crumbles - This is how I live my life. Have a listen on YouTube.

"if I don't react, next time it might be me" - I would stand up for what is right, and fight for it to the end...I really would, regardless of whether I knew the person or not. I hope that others would do the same for me.

20 odd years ago when I first started my training in human services as a counsellor I had a client admit to me that he had murdered 2 people in separate, extremely violent incidents. Under QLD law at the time I was not legally bound to give him up. You can't imagine the situation I was placed in. I could go on all night about the sorry saga. But fortunately at the end of it, he gave himself up. One minute I was a fresh faced, green as, junior psych working with some pretty damaged people, but really enjoying my work, the next thing I was immersed in an ethical, legal and moral nightmare. It can be fun to speculate on what is right and what is wrong, but when it's real and lives have been taken and others are at risk, it's scary. I felt like I was in some really shitty B grade movie. One of those one's that start out boringly nice and turn into a nightmare.
 
Wow! Well, I love this moral dilemma-weekly thing.. Very cool indeed!

I was in a situation where a good friend of mine shot someone and came to a mutual friends house afterwards while we were all hanging out there. I've never seen someone that zoned and just, I dunno hard to describe.. Distraught would be a good adjective to use..

Regarding this mock situ, I'd step in 100%.. No matter how heated something gets, murder is murder (not taking into consideration self-defense and all that) if someone, anyone, takes another human life with malice/intent etc, that's the line in the sand for me..

Depending on the level of love I have for this person would determine if I called the authorities or if I'd try my hardest to convince them to turn themselves in, but I'd also make sure no one else (including myself) was in any danger etc..

If I was to find out about said murder, years or decades down the track that'd be a different story I think.. I'd initially react instinctively as all humans would, but I think hearing information like that would shock most.. Especially coming from a loved one whom (as all murderers families say) was a gentle soul etc..

I'd always want to know about it though and I'd be glad said murderer confided in me. I wouldn't take that as a burden or having guilt (wanting to turn them in etc) and feelings eating me up. But, this is all just talk, if the situation ever came about I'd probably be the one being killed. Hahahaha..

Keep these weekly things up! I looooove it :D
 
i'd punch his lights out. motherfucker has potentially compromised my freedom by disclosing his skeleton to me. no real friend does that shit.

as for the murder itself, it would really depend on why/how it happened and who it was. unlike your first dilemma, which was clear, this one leaves to many variables to say.

So you would prefer if he had kept his mouth shut?




Im struggling with this one because I figure if my best mate tells me this then he tells me because he trusts me and needs help dealing with it, unless it was some idle drunkin boast. I dont think I could dob him in but would instead work with him to help him clear his past.

I dont think it would worry me knowing what he had done and I would not feel implicated because if cops came down saying i knew, I would just say I thought he was joking.
