Murder is murder regardless of who did it and all murderers must pay the price.
Murder means you INTENDED to kill a person for a reason OTHER THAN protecting someone, including yourself. You can kill someone for a variety of reasons in a variety of situations. Come on, it's even built into our legal system! You can be convicted of manslaughter, or you can be convicted of murder, it's not the same thing. In order for it to not be murder, in my opinion, you need an initial aggressor who poses a threat to you or someone else unless you use deadly force. Pretty rare, but legitimate. And I would totally turn them in, b/c if they were capable of doing that without giving themselves up, then they are certainly not the people I thought they were and I would not be dragged down by their lack of conscience.
Depends on the situation and whether or not trusted them to be telling me the absolute truth. If they told me "hey, I've been killing people like twice a week. It turns me on and I like watching them bleed out and die" then I would notify the cops. If it was a one-time thing I would help them try to cover it up.
I know that's wrong but I also know that's what I would do.
Depends on who they killed and why. Whether it was murder (and even then there's such thing as justifiable homicide), or self-defense, or an accident, etc. Really, if it was someone I really cared about, I probably wouldn't turn them in under any circumstances. At the very least I'd just cut off contact and pretend I never knew about it. Depending on circumstances I might help them cover it up.
Why would it matter? If someone's dead and you know who's responsible, then they need to be held accountable regardless of why or how it happened. If not accountable punishment-wise then accountable to the victims family so they can have closure, if it were an accident or self-defense. Why should the victim's family be punished for the rest of their lives wondering what happened to their son/daughter/mother etc?
If it was really an accident or self-defense, why cover it up??
I personally like having courts-or qualified investigators- determine what's justifiable, not random individuals who have no detective, forensic or legal knowledge.
Besides, what if you don't say anything and they do it again?? Then YOU'D be partially responsible for a murder in a way.
By helping someone cover a murder you're an accessory to murder-or in some cases you can be charged with actual murder depending on what kind of help you provide- anyway, how is that worth it?
You have far, far too much faith in the legal system. I'd say "Judicial System", but I'm experienced enough to know that justice plays an incredibly small role there.
Yes, people need to be held accountable. I just put far more faith in my intelligence and ability to reason than I do in the legal system. The government is not the end-all be-all of anything. Typically, no matter which side you're on, it's better to keep the government out of it. They're nothing but trouble, no matter how just (or legal) you are in your actions.
I don't care who the person is, if they killed someone and you knew about it and you did not turn them in because they might be your girl or boy friend, then you are harbouring a criminal and if someone found out then you along with the actual criminal both of you could have your asses in the Pen so fast. Not a good idea.
If it was self-defense, I would encourage them to turn themselves in. It's not as though they're at fault, and they'd get a much better reception from the justice system.
If it was Rush Limbaugh, I would have a major moral dilemma. In jest, I'd be supportive. In life, I'd turn them in because they'd actually managed to sink BELOW his level (incredible but awful) and make his followers look more reasonable in comparison.
I am certain most of my friends would turn themselves in. So i really wouldn't need to tell on them. But to be more direct i wouldn't turn a friend in when the needed me the most.
My best friend and i have a pact that allows each of us to cover for each other in case of extreme circumstances. This includes murder. If he told me he'd killed someone i'd not only offer to provide an albi but also help dispose of the body. I'd expect the same in return.
This level of trust is not easy to come by, to violate it over a stupid point of principle or morality is plain idiotic. If you trust someone enough you would help them.
If it was your parnter it would be a matter of love. If you love someone enough you would do anything for them, including killing and covering.
Trust and love superceed morality and principles.
if it was Justin Beaver i wouldnt give a shit :D
maybe even help her cover it up
If the person in question was really my friend/boyfriend I assume he/she would have had a good reason for killing, so I'd help.
If anyone in my family did it, for whatever reason, I would do anything to help them hide it. I would definitely not help them do it. And I would turn in my friends, because friends come and go.
depends who they killed and why I.E. if they killed my wife then no i would i would fuck them up myself
Where im from if you snitch you die. I remember being in chicago and talking to killers as young as 12 years old. One of which killed my cousins friend.
If it was sum1 i was friends with or one of my family members, i wouldnt tell the police. I would keep it to myself and never speak about it... Because chances are he/she killed a person for a valid reason.
i don't know some of mine have offered me money to kill and some I'd willingly do it for free lol it just depends on who it was because some of my friends are more like people i know and people i see once every year or so. but i don't think i could just tell on them.
I'm the only one in my circle of friends who would be most likely to kill someone. I'm sure some of my friends would narc on me, but I also think my gf would assist me XD Though if any of my friends or my gf did the killing, I'd be right there getting rid of evidence.
People are ridiculous. You mean to tell me that if your boyfriend, or whoever, killed someone that raped/murdered/or did something just as bad, you would just turn them in willy nilly? Without even letting him/her explain themself first?
No. I voted on that it depended. If they turned out to just kill someone for the hell of it, yeah. I'd turn em in. But if it could be justified, I'd let them handle it on their own. Just because you don't turn someone in doesn't mean you still have to be chummy with them.
For the people who said they'd definitely turn their close ones in, wait til' you actually face that kind of situation...I'm not really sure what I'd do in that situation.
No one would do it for no reason. If someone has gone to the point of killing someone then they need serious mental help.
IF MY FRIEND KILLED SOMEONE IN COLD BLOOD, YOU CAN JUST BET THAT THE FRIENDSHIP IS OVER AND OUT!
Nope. And I'd pretend to be fine with it too... Who knows when they'll try to kill ME!
depends. If they did it on purpose, yes. if in self defence, i dunno. but, in a case of self defence, if court, i would help defend them as a witness
Hell yea I would..cuz if they can kill some1 else then chances are they would kill me if they could
Depends. who was it? what happened? if it was an accident or self defence they can bring themselves in and get a deal. Not self defence but Necisary for thier mental health? Id check up on the law and previous cases might get a deal if they bring themselves in.
