Have you ever thought of killing someone? (page 2)

Namaste

Only hypothetically. Now that I'm a parent I don't understand how other parents restrain themselves when someone harms their child, particularly in regards to sexual abuse. This is a major fear of mine with my son and I plan to do everything possible to protect him and also give him the tools to protect himself. But seriously, if someone ever touched him, I can't imagine not wanting to hurt the person that did it.

Yeah, I've been there.

Sometimes with justification, like wanting to extinguish the fellow attached to the knife in your leg, or hoping your bullets find their mark and his keep wasting themselves if the cover you are behind.

One time just at the end of my first marriage we were laying these and she had crossed the line AGAIN and I remember wanting her dead so bad that I thought I might just roll over and take her stupid neck in my hands and crush it like an aluminum can. Of course, that activated my protective side, anyone who wants to harm my wife must die, and I undeniable wanted her dead, so...

Off the the bathroom with something very very sharp.

The white of the porcelain, the blood, so very red, the nice EMT's working so hard, it's all a blur.

When I got out of the hospital, the temptation had removed herself along with all the money we had and a box of checks she kited all over Iowa.

Side not: funny thing, she had me thinking that everybody else wished me nothing but harm and she was the only one I could count on, but laying there in the hospital, all stitched up, my family came to visit, and she ran off.

Hmm. just interesting is all.

All of this pain is long past now, it amazes me, as if it were someone else.

I mean, my life now is so good I can't imagine I'm the same guy.

Now, I tend to remind myself that Jesus dies as much for the other guy, no matter who he is, as He died for me. Kind of hard to hate someone in that light. Oh, except for HH and DF.

If I HAD to kill someone now, like the intruder in my home that wisely decided to run rather than face a shotgun, I think I might actually feel some regret. That is pleasing to me. I know I can kill if pushed to it, but the regret is something I never thought, back in the day, I could feel.

Just goes to show, we all grow and improve, if we survive long enough.

Yep - myself several times, and my dad, and the guy who molested me

It would take more than mere feelings of contempt for me to kill someone.

bigdreaux

yes, almost went through with it too. thankfully, i couldn't find the guys house, i'd be in prison now. but, i had a very valid reason to do so. at least, i think i did. i've since calmed down and have a great life i wouldn't be able to enjoy had i gone through with it. now, i will only kill if my or someone elses life is in eminant danger.

Why? Who do you want to kill, John?

Such as? As for me, I've contemplated killing a murderer. The jury is still out on that one.

Have you ever thought of killing someone?

Several times, but I'm too rational to actually go through with such a thing. If I have that much contempt for someone, the next logical conclusion is that their lives are not worth a single moment of my freedom.

Yeah, when I was almost drafted durring the vietnam war. Luck for me they came out with the draft lottery and my birthday put at # 260 something, out 365. That when I stopped having to think about killing someone.

yep... myself, but I'm far past that now because of intervention. Now life is good! Even w/the aches and pains.

To any one suffering out there, please get help. It IS a very selfish act of desperation. Far too many people would miss you - more than you would ever be aware.
