What's the closest you have came to committing murder?

[MegaBlue05]

Back in my not-so-well-behaved youth, my roommate and I used to sell weed. The brick kind with stems and seeds that was so prevalent in the 90s-00s.

Someone broke into our apartment and stole a pound from us along with a PS2, some games and some CDS. We would’ve owed someone else about $1200 with absolutely no ability to pay in a timely manner. Guy who did it was an acquaintance, not really a friend.

He ran his mouth and bragged about it to mutual friends of ours. We got a mutual friend who liked us more than him to set up a buy for us, said he knew someone who was interested in buying most of it. We go to his place armed with baseball bats and my roommates pistol. Dude lived alone. No violence occurred. We walked out of with our stolen property + all the money he had on him. I guess we re-robbed the robber. Guy was scared shitless and we never saw him again. Glad he didn’t rat us out to the cops, but I guess his hands were dirty, too.

That was the closest I’ve ever been to murdering someone or getting murdered. Looking back on it, there were so many things that could’ve gone wrong with that situation. Young and stupid.

You may feel that way and that's fine. But a victimless crime it wasn't. My sister didn't know it was laced with fentanyl. And to be perfectly honest I was gonna kill him. I have bad PTSD and anger issues from Iraq and Afghanistan. And this was fresh off my last deployment.

Oh they tried to give me jail time but had zero evidence outside of motive and ****ed up knuckles, which could be explained by mma training. Like I said the judge literally ripped my charge sheet at my arraignment and told me to go. Feel however you want but you'd feel different if it happened to you. Like I said, I'm not a bad person but I can flip that switch and become a ruthless killer in a split second. Only way to survive in war.

If you want contact the cops. I've got a full confession on here. Go ahead. I won't even be mad because I'll never see the inside of a jail. I feel like my life ended the first time I shot and killed an Iraqi insurgent on my first deployment. I have no soul but my sister is alive, clean and doing great.

folks who have never been forced to get their hands dirty can't possibly understand the feelings of those who have. I was a drunk for a dozen years after Viet Nam. With the help of the Lord, I am now sober and have learned to live with it, but the memories don't even fade.

Had a family friend who did that. Dude they robbed went to the cops. They arrested him at his mom's wedding... lol.

We have a thread for dying, I suppose it's only fitting to have a thread for killing. Right? I mean, I have a story, but my lawyers are telling me I need to wait a couple years before I tell it.

I saw the bruises of a spinal cord injured friend of mine. Her husband beats her and constantly verbally abuses her. If I ever caught him doing it, I'd wind up in prison. Also, insert any child abuser and I'd probably do the same.

I said "Grande, Iced, Sugar-Free, Vanilla Latte With Soy Milk" and they gave me regular milk.

Ouch. What timing.

That was definitely the dumbest thing I ever got into. Less than a year later my roommate and I went our separate ways amicably. He kept the “business” going. I moved on to legal, awful, retail employment.

The paranoia got to be too much for me. Constant traffic coming in and out of our place made me nervous. Firearms in our apartment would’ve enhanced all the potential drug charges and we lived across the street from a college campus, so there’s “within a 1000 yards of a school” charge.

Mine would have been more of a "justifiable homicide". Wife heard a noise in our spare bedroom a couple years ago about 3AM. I grabbed my gun, went to the entrance to the bedroom. A guy was opening the window on the other side of the room. I calmly (not really, I was shaking like a dog shitting peach seeds)told the guy (assuming it was a male) "Mother ****er come in the window I am going to FN blow your GD brains out." The intruder took off, I called the police, they came out and did a canvas of my property, there was a tire tool laying under the window that he forced open and was in the process of breaking and entering. I did not know if he was armed or not, I didn't GAF, wasn't taking any chances to find out. I had 16 hollow points locked and loaded. I 100% would have shot his *** where he stood.

One other time I was young and very dumb. gave a guy money to purchase some "illegal contraband" I waited in a covenant store parking lot in Nortonville, Ky. (I'm from Madisonville) I watched him go up a hill to a house behind the store, he stood with another dude and they talked for a couple minutes. They was standing right under a street light so he was very visible the whole time he was gone. He never exchanged my money to the guy. He comes back to my car, leans in my window and says "Man the dude took the money and didn't give me anything". I had my Glock 9 laying on the console and grabbed it as he was leaning in the window. I put my arm around his head then I put it to his head and told him "MF'er I want my money or my coke". I was stupid and regretted it as soon as I pulled off. Stupidity just about cost me my freedom. I was young (22) and very stupid, I was a wannabe thug and it damned near ended up very bad all because a lowlife tried to steal from me. This 100% happened, not proud of it, since that day, I have never been put in that situation and never will. I grew the F up real quick. The best thing that could for me, I meet my wife, dated, got married and having kids, my whole outlook and way of life changed. I tell this story because if it helps ONE person understand that being around terrible ****, quick irrational actions can have very dire consequences.

I was at a UT/UK football game. We weee getting waxed. A UK fan who was leaving early yelled to the fans in orange “Wait til basketball!” I thought thousands were about to witness a grisly murder

Could you narrow down the year so I can picture this event in my mind a little clearer?

It would have been a much simpler story if you had just said you got drunk and watched too man TJ Hooker episodes then fell asleep with your hand in your underwear and had a couple bad dreams where you were Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse until your wife slapped you in the head with a newspaper and told you to take your fatass to bed.

If you ever murder anyone in Madisonville, be sure to dump the body behind the mall.

I had to shoot my way out of a strip club in Guadalajara

 

[LowCountryCat]

Because it was a bad plan. All he did was commit a violent crime by assaulting someone. The fentanyl supply will go on, unchecked. And his sister is still an addict. Nothing has changed. Would be like me beating the crap out of a bartender because my brother is an alcoholic.

Maybe a rehab program for the person with the addiction?

Really, alcohol is illegal? I had no idea.

Great analogy!!!!!!!!

When did I say alcohol was illegal? Not sure what you’re talking about?

wow, for those of us that have never been the military, I thank you for your service
I have often wondered how veterans overcome having to kill to survive
I can't imagine reliving that over and over, day after day
I have talked to veterans of the Vietnam war & the horror stories they tell are unbelievable
Now these guys have health issues due to agent orange

I can't say how I would react if something like this happened to a family member
I can't and won't judge you for your actions like some
Losing my parents was and still is hard to overcome. I think of them daily
I would hope that you are to find some peace thru faith and your church

 

[BMoore2]

I don't understand the douchey reply to this guy. He did what he thought he had to do to save his sister.

Cause that’s the way he is. Just a jerk. Doesn’t have reverence or respect for anyone or anything. Misanthropes are in such great supply these days.

 

[Hank Camacho_rivals115797]

"Victimless crime" is something drug dealers and pimps say to make themselves feel better about destroying other humans.

I would fully support the death penalty for pimps. Aside from child molesters, there are no more loathsome human beings on earth than pimps.

People can quit drugs and recover. You can't quit being sold like chattel.

Anxiously waiting for Glenn to regale us with tales of his exploits.

Need to change the thread title to "How many times have you... " before Glenn chimes in.

I don't think there has ever been a case where I wanted to kill someone. Yet no one has messed with my kids either.
