To Kill or to Allow It—Is It Even a Question?
If I could get away with it, I would kill a killer, doing everyone a big favor. Of course, the sentiment would be even sweeter if I did this before they were to actually kill someone. Now I realize that such a twist makes me a killer before the would-be killer is, but you really can't have it both ways, can you?
My point is that with this curveball, I would have to be absolutely certain this person was going to kill someone. Soon? Well, not necessarily. They would have to kill someone at some point in the future. Does that really matter? Not to me.
How would I know my intended victim were going to kill someone? I JUST KNOW! Trust me. And if you don't trust me, then maybe you should wonder about your future.
And here is where this whole thing fucks with me. What if the person who I'm sure will kill someday feels the same about me? Just playing Devil's Advocate here, but if he were sure about me, then he would be killing me before I killed someone, which of course would be himself. I mean, he'd be right, wouldn't he? Would that be probable cause or just plain murder? Or would my way stand in court?
So, this guy... Should I fuck right back with him and kill myself? Imagine his surprise! Imagine his disappointment in not ridding the Earth of a killer himself. Further, what if I knew he was going to kill someone because that someone was himself? If he were planning suicide, should I kill him before he does it and take the credit for killing a killer?
Does it work like that? God, I hope so! It's only self-defense for goodness' sake!
