Have you ever met a murderer?

I've had to shoot cows that fell down and broke their legs or if they've been really sick (oh the joys of being a farmers daughter). Trust me, they won't heal from broken bones and they'll only be in pain for the rest of their lives. No one can afford the kind of care that it requires to keep them alive comfortably. (Although I wouldn't necessarily call myself a killer. I didn't kill them because it wanted to, but because it's the only humane thing to do)

But to be serious, I think that a lot of people can be considered "murderers", as in "responsible for taking a persons life" (although i wouldnt really call them murderers. i think that most people in their lifetime can somehow be conidered responsible, or at least a factor, in another persons death). There's the doctor who didn't do the right tests and it killed my little sisters best friend. theres the doctor who said my friend (whos hutterite btw) had a backache as a punishment from god because he played hockey (i kid you not). he bled to death from a ruptured aorta that same night. the doctor didnt do a single test. they just laughed him out of the hospital. he didnt even get in trouble for it. then theres my classmate who drove off a bridge and killed his two brothers who were in the backseat, and the list goes on. I wouldnt consider them murderers but they did factor into each persons death.

"Murderer" just isnt that black and white.

Yes, but I'm Hindu...... the world is full of murderers

I met one guy, who is now in jail for allegedly killing someone. I do not know what actually happened and is he really guilty or not, but that's what I've heard.

A murderer of flowers... well he puts them out of their misery.

..but he wasn't a murderer when I knew him; he was a college student...it was later when he murdered four people in WA..

Not that I know of. The only thing that sets you apart from a murderer is that you have control of your temper and your actions.

Went to school with him, he lived just up the road....the crime happened a few years after graduation....

I'm behind you muahhhahahaha

Not that I am aware of -

My best friend in Junior high school killed two people. One by accident. The other was self defense

Then he isn't a murderer , he was defending himself and had no intentions to kill anyone.

just as soon keep it that way.

I didn't know they were at the time but they now are. A girl from Jr. High is in prison now and I know Jodi Arias. Very shocking, but I can see clearly how off she is. Why? Because Jodi has the same calm, sweet, in-effected demeanor that she did when hanging out as she did in talking about murder from jail. You would think she'd be a wreck talking about Travis dying and being in prison. Not to mention her lying makes no sense at all.

my ex tried to convince me he was a murder but it didnt work out for him.

At least not to my knowledge.

Yes. a realative

But my grandad knew Fred West.

not face to face exactly, but we had chated a few times over the internet and a few weeks later he ended up killing his entire family, anime lovers would know who im talking about

Farmers regularly murder both plant and animal life.

"The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another." Explain to me again how a plant is a human...? :P
I'm going to take this as you're kidding :)
I've only ever killed (not murderd :P) animals if it was completly inhumane to keep them alive. I'm not going to make a cow suffer through having 3 broken legs that will never heal before it dies of the various infections. i imagine that that is a very painful way to die, as it can take several months. A bullet is at least quick.

the humanity isn't essential to murder. killing is killing.

All murder is killing but not all killing is murder. Technically by legal definition it is only murder if it is an act against another human being. Although I would class a person who shoots dogs for fun in a completely different catagory than the farmer who shoots their cow because to keep it alive would be torture.

I don't differentiate.

I do.

Angola Prison...

Several, missed a $10'000 dollar reward on one of them, I was persuaded to ignore my suspicions.

I actually worked with one and shared an office without knowing that he was a murderer. He committed suicide as the investigation got closer to him. He left a note explaining himself. Pretty shocking. I was interviewed about a dozen times by investigators about this guy.

Don't really want to!!

Yes, a guy who is in recovery, and then my husband's cousin who murdered his wife of 3 weeks. I won't go near my husband's cousin because he should still be in prison for the life he took, and for all the lives he ruined.

No but I am sure the potential to commit murder is within all of us.

Worked in the medical dept of a state prison.

The guy in the picture reminds me of someone I now.

It's Johnny Depp.

"the guy"!!!

Yes

Yes, in fact, I am related to a few.

Didn't know him well, but I met a guy who went on to commit a drug-related murder.

Yes.

Of course!
