If you were to kill a man.......

[DaTT]

.....as he lay on his death bed ready to be exucuted by the state by lethal injection, do you get charged with murder?

 

[BoomerD]

yes...right or wrong, it's still homicide.

 

[BigJ]

Yes.

Yes.

It's all about who has the "right" to kill. People not empowered by the state have no right to end the life of another.

 

[notfred]

You get charged with being a fvcking idiot.

 

[Shawn]

Yes. Why would you kill him if he's about to be killed anyway?

Oh how I wish that was an actual charge.

 

[DaTT]

It certainly would be an interesting court case.

We would have to start instituting the 3 hour death penalty. Sentence to ashes in 3 hours, China style.

I really hate these retarded what-if topics. If I were bored enough to be thinking something like "Gee, I wonder if I had a Lamborghini, and I was driving it around on the ice in Antarctica, and Jessica Alba drove by and told me to stand on my head and juggle paperclips --- would I put my coffee down on the console or on the roof before doing the headstand?", I'd slap myself and go find something to do, not fscking post about it.

Please, tell us how you really feel.

That's what I was thinking as well. It could get cold too fast on the roof and conceivably mar the paint.

Because a man with a rare blood type (which the prisoner also happens to have) who's sueing you for millions over a book you wrote is in need of an organ transplant. Poison him so the man can't use the prisoner's organs. Yeah.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Yeah but that about this? Only slightly relevant but a good read nevertheless.

:beer:!
I love that story

 

[Kyanzes]

No, you won't get charged, if... you had been charged earlier for killing him, found guilty and you served your time. (Assuming that he disappeared and in his absence you had been found guilty.). I mean it's a classic. To my knowledge, no one could be charged twice for the same crime.

 

[Paddington]

Technically yes you've committed murder, but realistically they might charge you with a lesser crime.

You wouldn't get off free, I'm certain of that.

 

[compuwiz1]

I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

There's actually a variation on that written in one of the newspapers in Hitman Blood Money

That death is also acted out at the beginning of the movie Magnolia.
