    4 out of a 15 word statement indicate that it is no life or death situation, how do you manage to miss that?

    What I'd do: Not miss.

    And if there are no witnesses?
    It would be your word against a corpse.

    So, you would commit vigilantism and you are not even tough enough to be legally prosecuted for your actions?

    A crime is a crime, even when nobody notices it or you are not sentenced for it.

    considering how hot topic crime and punishment topics are, if the Mods decide to make an entirely new "off topic" "Crime and justice" that section would probably get more views than anything else...

    You're confusing "toughness" with stupidity.

    Maby tomorrow he manage to kill another guy, how would you feel if you knew you could have stopped it?

    Also when dogs attack people they get put down.. Seems like a nice rule to apply for humans aswell

    No, I just think you are a coward if you don't want to be responsible for your actions after being a self-righteous dick.

    Surely the threat of punishment isn't the ONLY thing preventing you from committing murder?

    Great, next thing is castration for couples with too many kids.

    I can try to stop it by calling the police, I'm not freaking batman taking justice in my own hands.

    Those actions should not be illegal, so doing the smart thing and avoiding unjust prosecution is the correct and moral course of action.

    I wouldn't necessarily be against this. You see people with several thousand children who've never worked a day and just collect benefits, and don't instil a good work ethic in their children so they don't do great either. Voluntary of course, never forced. This has been somewhat fixed through benefit changes though. Some of them would actually say yes because they're too stupid to have thought of it themselves. Infact I think they may already do it.

    Unfortunately for you, but fortunately for me, is that your opinion does not match with the law.

    You can always test the families and take the children away. Anyway, that wasn't my point, I am just saying that humans and animals are not equal and neither is their treatment, you don't shot an old man behind the barn because he lost all his teeth.

    Most people when put into such a situation would more than likely spare the person's life. It's easy to claim that you have the guts to kill someone, but once you stand there more often than not you will not be able to do it. People can be violent, sure, but killing someone isn't some laughing matter and a regular person isn't prone to killing other people. You require a certain type of mindset and I doubt we have a huge population of psycho killers or trained special task forces on MMO-Champion.

    Considering this, I don't believe that 50% of the people who voted here would actually kill the person. To be very frank, most of them wouldn't be able to do it. I certainly wouldn't.

    I'll admit that I'm a little cocky and arrogant so if I was able to prevent it the first time I would think that I could do it again so I would probably spare them. Also I'm kinda vengeful and they aren't going to suffer if I kill them, I'd much rather know they are in prison possibly being raped.

    I would not kill them, but I may incapacitate them depending on the situation. If I feel that the moment I turn my back I would be in danger again, I feel it justified to disarm/knock him out somehow. I'm not looking for vengeance or violence, just defense. Calling the cops is all fine and dandy, but a lot can happen in the time between the phone call and when they arrive and I don't feel like dying.

    The answer is simple... WWBD

    What would Batman do?

    Batman does not kill, he sees that justice is done, and apprehends the villain for the law. I would do likewise.

    This thread started out fairly questionable and has taken a rather decisive dark turn. Going to go ahead and shut this down before it gets out of hand.
