[Closed] Have you ever killed someone ?

I was shot at dawn for a week

My in-laws are over for the weekend. I am hoping we all get through safely but no promises...

Even when we ourselves have been over the limit as it been in our heads to drive? Not mine and I used to be a right pisshead before I passed. Had that bloke driven before drunk? How many do it habitually then profess it was the first time(!) Or curse their luck if they crash?

We all make choices. At night, you can hear the familiar whoop whoop as yet another car is pulled near our house. I call Davhulme road east 'pissed mile'.

My boss of many years ago killed a guy with a single punch in self defence. My boss when I worked with him was all of 10 stoneish and 5'7" the other guy was a lairy jock 6'+ and big too. They had an argument and the jock went to hit my old boss but was to slow as he was felled with a single punch unfortuately he hit a bed frame with the back of his head as he fell.

My dad was part of a team that may well have killed many people - he was a radio operator in a Wellington bomber during the war

he never dwelled on what he may or may not have been part of, he simply knew it had to be done and others were left to make the decisions where they attacked in the best interests of ending the war

A friend of mine was a police officer and one day he shot dead three guys who tried to kill him and his colleague. His colleague was seriously injured but Robert was unharmed.

Oh yeah. Forgot that one. I was there when a guy got shot by the police in Glasgow. Worked with the guy who fired the shots.

To balance it out - caught a drunk driver with a hose on the back seat on his way to kill himself. Arranged psychiatric treatment post arrest. So possibly saved his life.

Any of you ****ing pricks move, and I'll execute every mother****ing last one of ya!

This. I prefer to think of the positive side of the job. I've lost count of the number of people I've talked off bridges and window ledges. On new years eve a few years ago I went to 3 in a day. The third one did jump however and ended up alive but with serious spinal injuries.

A colleague and I once took turns supporting a huge guy on our shoulders when we found him hanging by the neck from a staircase by his dressing gown cord while another colleague searched frantically round the house for something to cut it with. He lived. (made a complaint about us smashing his door in though)

Worst thing about that last one was that he was naked under the dressing gown. Not pleasant when it was my turn to hold him up. 😆

I was shot in Reno and played possum so he'd k'off and bother someone else.

I drove past a bloke on Barton bridge last Sunday (after it had been closed off/opposite direction). He just looked like a worn out businessman whilst another obviously had successfully talked him out of it lent against the barrier alongside him.

Bregante did you feel the heat of his loins on the back of your neck? 😆

Like Crikey I have taken decisions and acted in such a way as to perhaps shorten life at the end of life for people who were dying anyway

As I kissed her goodbye, I said, "all beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

I played cricket with a guy who was a little intense .

A few years later he cut his dads head off with a samuri sword and kicked it down the road

My friend is a cop and had to sit next to him in the back of a van as prisoner escourt he commented on the guys shaved head and the nutter informed him that the last person to mention his hair had been his dad.

Then burst out laughing and said only joking

A friend's father was killed during a domestic brawl. They were so scared they put his body in freezer. They got found out of course. My friend moved away to Edinburgh and I have not heard from him since. I hope he's OK.

Me not as far as i know but my dad was in the army in the 60's and spent a year in Aden so yes he has and he doesn't talk about it very often and then only when a bit pis*ed

So for schools in a few areas of Glasgow the statement would be correct. Almost anywhere else in the UK outside a few other inner city areas it won't be.

Still a lingering assumption that Glasgow is horrifically worse than any other large city. I suspect you'll find that there London is no better..

The bad bits of London are included in the phrase "other inner city areas."

But the overall murder rate for London is lower than Glasgow.

Scottish Govt stats show Glasgow (2000-2002 average) with 62.9 homicides per million population. London was 26.7

A friend of mine once interviewed a fella for a job, when asked why he was looking for a new job he said he'd fallen out with his boss. Turned out his boss was cut up in pieces in the boot of the car.

Killed? I like to call the community that I keep in my cellar as sleeping. 😈

Two people have been murdered within two miles of my house in unrelated incidents. I didn't really know them, but I had met both of them years before the events.

I've had one collision and one very near miss with pedestrians. I like to think that in both cases they are still alive because I was on a motorbike, not in a car.

Oh, I nearly forgot...

[Preachy vegan] Meat is murder [/Preachy vegan]

As you were.

Nearly helped a few on their way who felt the only option left to them was a grim end under several hundred tonnes of Train. Stopped short or they've bottled it and ran upto now but it's only a matter of time.

Very nearly hit a old fella on a crossing the other day, he didn't look and stepped out into my path. Being old and not very quick on his feet it took him a while to get out of the way. The look of terror in his eyes is something I'll not forget in a hurry.

darkcove its 100% their making beit an accident or by design. After all you have 100% right to be on that track and it doesn't take rocketscience to know that you are crossing 2m's of potentially dangerous space...so the onus is firmly on them!

A man whose kids went to the same nursery as my son killed his wife and stuck her body in a suitcase, which he then kept in the garage for two months. He carried on as normal, moved his mistress into the family home, kept bringing the kids into nursery and going to work as a music teacher. He told everyone she'd gone travelling.

I remember meeting the guy at a nursery do the summer before it all happened. My son and his daughter got on really well and used to play together a lot. Apparently his daughter was always talking about my son at home, so he made a wisecrack about how he was keeping an eye on him.

I think the kids are living with an aunt from the mother's side of the family now.

Hudds wasn't it? Dark haired youngish guy?

Yep. [url= http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/sep/21/andrew-lindo-murder-fiancee ]This guy[/url]. She was his fiancée, not his wife, apparently.

I was partly responsible for the death of a neighbour on the 1st of January 2000 😳

Left the gas on?

Left the gas on?

Nope. Had a party at the millennium. Neighbour was an elderly sick gent who required some kind of breathing apparatus while sleeping. The noise from our party was so loud his wife went to sleep in the other room and didn't hear her husband choking to death in his sleep 🙁

In our defense, we'd went round all the neighbours beforehand and said we were having a party and if it was too loud they should let us know.

Not directly. I paid for someone else to do it. Not my proudest moment. 🙁
