Is it normal to think about killing?

There's only a couple of people I've ever legit thought about killing. Wanted to kill. I know myself and I know that I probably couldn't and wouldn't just kill an innocent person. That's wrong. But that's just it. If someone has done something wrong to me and or my family, most likely i'm going to want to kill them. Specifically one person I think about killing often. The person has been a problem in my family's life for a few years. A thief, druggy, abuser, etc.. That person is nothing. Now I don't feel that way about anyone else. Never have. I actually never really though about the idea of killing someone until this person came into my life. I have a strong hatred toward this person. And I've hated people before but not to this point. I actually enjoy the idea of killing this person. I've told my family I'd gladly kill the person. We all hate hate said person. This person has done stuff to my family. But nothing too personal except to one other person in my family. Not me though. I don't know if some things I took personally or what but all I know is it's, to me, personal. I want this guy gone. I've got a good friend, very smart, normal guy. He understands me and he knows i'm serious about it. I don't really know exactly what i'm trying to say here but is it normal to want to kill someone who's obviously a bad, useless person to society that's done nothing but harm to my family and many others? I'd just be able to sleep better at night knowing my stuff is safe, my family is safe, i'm safe. And it's different if they went to jail. That's not reassuring. They've been before, gotten out. Back again. If it's normal then I won't feel to crazy about it. I just want to know if a feeling like this is okay. I personally think it's protective and defensive. Like I said I've never wanted to just kill any random person for the hell of it and I probably wouldn't and couldn't. I just want to know. Is it normal? (I want to be clear that by getting answers to this question isn't going to compel me to kill. I just want to know)

    Can you remove the person or get away from them without killing the person?
    If so get the heck outta there!
    When I start contemplating murder, even if it's for a second, it's time to get away from the person asap.
    Because, if you can get away from the person you can resume life as usual but if you kill the person you're going to go to jail. A life for a life. If the person is not worth the human sacrifice, you being one of the people on the alter, don't do it.
    Throw a bag of hot microwaved dog shit at him instead.

      That's just the problem though. I can't get away because it's not me keeping him around. It's someone in my family (I don't live with them) keeping him around that doesn't care that he's bad. They enjoy the fact that he causes problems with my family. It seems like that's the only way to get rid of him. Cops have been involved countless times but the person he lives with in my family denies anything + he runs when they come around. They can't do anything. Trust me I don't like the idea but it just seems like the only way to get this guy away forever. I'm fully aware of the repercussions and I know this guy isn't worth my life. Not at all. I hate to have to resort to an idea like this but literally everything else has been done and I come over today and he's sitting on the couch. I almost lost my shit. I'm just at a loss. There just seems like nothing else can be done. I'd be totally happy if my family and I left and never had to come back to this. I'd rather have that. But we just can't do that right now. I'm just don't know. It just looks like a permanent problem to a seemingly permanent problem.

        Kick his ass repeatedly. It might calm the beast within him, no kill my fair gladiator.

    Hi, yes, anger and hatred can drive you to a point to think about taking someone's life. Let's first dissect how you really feel. Anger and hatred are secondary emotions to sadness or fear. Its obvious from your post this person has attributed to so much sadness in your heart for you and your family. There are many things you can do to keep this person away from your family and the number one and most important thing is honest and true to yourself ALWAYS.

    You can get a restraining order against him for you and your whole family.

    I've never taken someone's life but I can assure you things will not get better if that is a chosen route. For a few reasons. One, death will be on your soul whether you accept it or not and you will have to live with that. An act like that will not be easy to live with on a personal note. Two, someone may retaliate at anytime on you and on any person of your family...bad news my friend. Three, you can go to prison for a very long time and have a huge chance of ruining any bit of a social life, a healthy career, healthy romantic relationships and could ruin relationships with you family. Four, imagine ALL these things loaded on top of you and your conscious. There is a GREAT chance that all of this can happen.

    It is harder to take to righteous way out. With determination and yes, love, you will find a humane way to keep this person from your family.

    If you still enjoy the thought of the killing, you need to stop because that is a problem. I'll say one more thing. I'm happy you're reaching out, it shows you have a conscience and know the difference from right and wrong. An old native tale says there are two wolves at war in the heart, one who feeds on anger and the other who feeds on love but which one wins the heart of the person? The one you feed more.

    Feed that wolf who eats love so he will get bigger and stronger and demolish that wolf of hatred so you can learn to make good decisions for you and all your family members. You do that by getting outside and laughing with friends, helping others, helping old people and children. Telling your family you love them, hugging loved ones and friends. Finding cool hobbies and mostly important, learning to be secure in believing that one day your family will be free from this despicable person without you risking your freedom. We don't want all those negative things to happen to you.

    I have more advice for you if you like. Just reply!

    You can do this the righteous way. Believe in the righteous way!

      Me knowing that there are repercussions to my actions and me having a conscience is really the only thing that has held me back from it. My family has tried everything to get rid of this guy but he always comes back. He lives with someone in my family who actually enjoys that fact that this guy is a problem in our lives. I'm aware that it is a lot of hate and anger but it's also the underlying instinct to protect my family from harm and danger. when pretty much everything has been done and nothing's different, it just seems like the only way. I've said this in another comment but we can't move away right now so trying to get away from it just isn't an option right now. I'd love to get away from this rather than the other option but I can't. I saw him today and I was very close to blowing up but I didn't. I don't know what else there is left to do about it.

    yes, sometimes I've thought that killing this person or that person would certainly solve a problem much quicker for me - things would be so much easier if they just didn't exist any more. But its not worth the worry, danger and ramifications of getting caught. So I just say a silent prayer that a bus hits them instead and then I feel much better.

      I'm not really a religious person or someone who believe in God but ya know what? I think i'm gonna say a few prayers and if they're answered, Gods got himself a new Christian. It wouldn't hurt to try and it would surely take a huge weight off my shoulders.

        ok umm but it doesn't really work like that. Its kinda like wanting to win the lotto real bad, but never buying a ticket. You gotta be in first before you gonna win.
        You can't ask God* for something and tell him you'll believe in him only if he delivers. You just negated your own "prayer". Big two fingers from God* on that score. And He loves giving the fingers to people. He finds it funny.
        Which leads us to the 3 easy steps to get help from God*
        1. Present your problem.
        2. Ask for help with it.
        3. Trust that the problem is now going to be sorted. (not necessarily involving the problem being hit by the 11A bus).
        Seems easy, but you gotta actually believe.
        If all 3 steps are successful, your problem will improve. I kid you not.
        *The use of the term God is purely subjective here. Certainly not the stereotypical portrayal of God, throwing frogs at unsuspecting Egyptians and the like. No way I'm getting lumped in with the IIN God Squad.
