    All these threads on guns and intruders etc lately, what about this one: If you had to shoot and kill a random adult who you dont know at all and were guaranteed to get away with it scot free i.e. no consequences, and you were handed 2 million euros for doing it, would you? I would like to say YES, especially in these times of ours but Im not sure I would have it in me.

    Nope. Easy to say yes on the internet but the simple reality is no, I couldn't.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,798 ✭✭✭karma_


    Cant wait to see all the internet heroes and their 'yes' replies.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,532 ✭✭✭Lou.m


    NO. Not for any price.

    Nope....but I do know a few people that I would shoot for free.

    Such a hypothetical situation would literally never arise.


  • Registered Users Posts: 353 ✭✭yizorselves


    You're either a liar or a genuine psychopath if you say yes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭Aimeee


    No.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭mad muffin


    Point me to the random stranger. I do the pew, pew.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,761 ✭✭✭AgileMyth


    For two million, yes definitely. I'm not sure the amount i would say no to.

    500,000 and I'd have to seriously think about it.

    I'd consider shooting the person offering me €2m and keeping the money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,320 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    What if someone else did it and you wouldn't even know who it is? Could be a 90 year old with alzheimer's living on her own in an isolated farm in China

    Absolutely.

    They may be psychopaths but they do exist.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 440 ✭✭Pawn


    would you?
    No. I couldn't kill a person just for money. This is lowest of the low.


  • Registered Users Posts: 71 ✭✭Lock Knife




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL


    2 million? I'd do it for a fiver right now. I'm starving.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,523 ✭✭✭kwestfan08


    Not a chance. The guilt would never leave you. Anything nice you'd buy would be forever tainted with the fact you killed a guy.

    Riding round in a new Lamborghini? Remember you saw a guy die for that?

    Cool new house? Remember what it sounded like when he breathed his last breath?

    I wouldn't be able to block that stuff out and I'd probably go mad.

    Nope. There's very little I wouldn't do for that sort of money, but definitely couldn't kill (or even injure) someone.

    There's 1 or 2 I'd do it for free.

    Could also be a 30 year old doctor with a newborn baby at home and you've left a child with out his/her mother/father.

    No. I wouldn't do it to a complete randomer like that, regardless of the money.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,513 ✭✭✭whupdedo


    I'd shoot someone on death row for it, or someone with a terminal illness who wanted to die, other than that, no

    A random innocent stranger?? If so, why the fcuk would you 'like to say Yes'. Even in a post apocalyptic scenario I'd choose to top myself rather than kill another innocent human being to take their food.

    I mean I'd 'like to think' I'd be able to put a bullet in the head of someone who killed or raped a member of my family but even in that scenario I'm not 100% sure I could pull the trigger.

    Shoot a person for 2 million? Not a hope could I do it.

    I stress out over not paying my phone bill so shooting a person eh no.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 145 ✭✭Demonical


    A child abuser, an animal abuser, or another total low-life piece of scum, I'd like to think I would be able to shoot them, for free even, doing it is a totally different matter, however. A total randomer that you have no history on - no.


  • Registered Users Posts: 48 Fingers!


    Would people say yes if they were asked to rape someone for €2 million?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,644 ✭✭✭✭punisher5112


    Is this not the done thing here.

    I was told a packet of tayyyto and sure be graaand like.

    Don't suppose anyone has a gun one could borrow running low on funds will return missing some rounds if could borrow few shells also.

    Where wood ya be without the fun on boards

    Raping someone for 2 million be be more difficult as you would experience the pain and suffering more acutely. A gunshot to the head and its lights out before they know it

    Where's the fun in using a gun?

    Not to get all serious in AH but every random stranger has some sort of family or group of loved ones. I've spent the last day and a half dealing with my devastated OH over a shock to the family that happened Friday night. I've never seen such pain and wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

    So, eh, no.


  • Registered Users Posts: 79 ✭✭0O0


    I'd definitely shoot someone for anything €10,000 UP but it would not be to kill them.

    Pretty shít shot though so who knows


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    Whatever you do don't setup a boards username called Lying Eyes and go looking for a hitman.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,571 ✭✭✭newmug


    I can't believe nobody highlighted the fact that if this was actually real, then YOU would be in danger of randomly getting shot!

    And yes, there's people I'd love to kill. But Jesus said not to. So I won't.

    But there's socially normal, well educated people out there who pay other socially normal, well educated people to kill their children. And it's totally legal. It's a fuked up world we live in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,954 ✭✭✭Tail Docker


    It's a good job everyone answered no as otherwise there would be people getting shot dead all day every day around the world.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,745 ✭✭✭Macavity.


    It's an awful lot of money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,094 ✭✭✭wretcheddomain


    Everyone is misinterpreting the question.

    The thread title doesn't say 'Would you kill', it says 'Would you shoot'. There's a big difference. Moreover, it doesn't say where to shoot.

    In this case, you could shoot an area of the body unlikely to kill then pay for the recovery and give a massive bonus to the person you shot. This means both sides benefit. This would be arranged in advance with mutual consent of course.

    Says it in the OP.

    Well, it should have been in the thread title too.

    Anyway, the answer to that is evidently no.

    The people who say yes in this thread are just demonstrating feigned keyboard confidence.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,079 ✭✭✭Reindeer


    Stranger? Likely. I'd give em a chance to up the offer in cash for a reversal, though. Only fair. Then I'd shoot both paying parties. Can't have any witnesses.

    Ex's get a huge discount, though.
