Thread: Would You Accept a Murderer?

Im not sure what you mean by this.

anyways, most people have said it already. self defense, etc. I would not reject them. If it was on impulse...I would still care for them but I would want them to seek help.

Well, it's difficult to predict, really, as it's an emotional response. However:
I would be able to accept killing in self defence or the defence of others, due to mental illness of some sort and maybe if someone really had it coming. I don't think I could accept a cold blooded murder as easily as a "spur of the moment" thing. I don't think I would have been able to accept someone killing a child under any circumstances.

In all honestly, I would be start to be concerned about my own safety. This is with understanding I do not consider it murder for one soldier to kill another soldier at war.

I most likely wouldn't reject them.... Death is a natural part of life, whether they were murdered or not.

I hate execution. I think it is wrong in every sense possible. I once saw something talking about this that said:

Why do we kill people, who kill people, to show people, that killing people is wrong??

Think about it.

Anyone who says this is an idiot. Murder is murder, taking life is taking life. How is one solider killing another any different than murder? So all the Nazi's that gunned down soldiers on D-day are just doing their job? Give me a fucking break. Oh wait they are the bad guys, so it's ok to label them as murderers...But our soldiers are noble heroes of justice and freedom!

Not all deliberate killing qualifies as murder. Killing soldiers in a war is not murder, even when it is evil.

–noun 1.Law. the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law. In the U.S., special statutory definitions include murder committed with malice aforethought, characterized by deliberation or premeditation or occurring during the commission of another serious crime, as robbery or arson (first-degree murder), and murder by intent but without deliberation or premeditation (second-degree murder).

You have a good point UM. But it's not so much about the legal defintion of murder as it is about the act of taking anothers life.

Perhaps I would accept a murderer if he or she became a murderer under understandable circumstances.

If someone kills another out of sheer selfdefence I don't see them as a murderer at all. But rather as a survivor. A mother who has 3 kids with a tyrant of a man that terrorises the family and beats her and her kids up can get fed up. She can come into a situation where she'd have to defend her children or herself and the only way is to kill the wifebeating tyrant.

If a woman kills a man under such circumstances I would not blame her or see her as a murderer. I'd see her as a Hero.


If a man however kills a random group of people, because they happen to be of non-white, non-european origin(such as happened in belgium some years ago) he is totally in lack of a moral consciousness. Such a man is indeed a murderer and a very dangerious one too. He'd best be locked up for a lifetime so he can do no more of such horrors.

Never think that, because you are morally against murder, that you would never ever kill another human being. It depends on the circumstances.

I don't know, I'd be kinda paranoid if a girl was laying next to me in bed and I knew she killed 15 people. I'd have to sleep with one eye open.....and not the one that winks.
