But like real question: Why do people ask these type of questions?

    I’ve made an inexcusable mistake that caused someone to die. It’s been 20-ish years, still not over it. Is anyone even allowed to get over something like that and go on with their lives?

    People ask because murderers exist, and if they’ve served their sentence, they might be willing to answer and have interesting stories?

    Well I may have done shock combo on a guy on Deck17 causing him to explode.

    It’s ok though he got me back in Rankin

    So I’ll actually answer since I’ve never shared this even though the post is making a joke.

    It’s not really murder I’m sure, but it has stuck with me forever. I took care of my grandmother through the end stages of her cancer as some form of “hospice” care. I was the one that gave her morphine when she needed it and essentially within days of starting it she became more and more zombified and then passed away. It happened within roughly a week. It was only after all that did learn about morphine toxicity in the elderly and realized that even though it helped her with the pain I’m pretty sure I “killed” her. :(

      For what it’s worth, if i ever find myself elderly with end stage cancer, I would consider it a kindness to be able to go out painlessly and relatively quickly.

      Euthanasia isnt really murder.

      I mean if someone has a terminal illness and asked you to give them cyanide and you do, that not really murder.

      Sure the law views it differently, but it morally not murder.

        Yeah, and it was all “above board” as they say so I’m fine as far as the law goes. Doctor prescribed, followed hospice advice, etc…

        Still considering it was the morphine that actually did her in, being the one who gave it to her made me feel responsible for her passing in a way.

          I’m sorry for your pain and guilt. If I was in your grandmas position, though, morphine toxicity is how I’d prefer to go.

      I’m so sorry that happened, truly. Honestly, though, you deserved to have better medical guidance during that time and it really isn’t your fault for not knowing. I think that at that point, though, it was way more important for her to be comfortable above all else. She was lucky to have you there.

      Damn, I shot a bunch of men on a battlefield once, even use gas grenades in the trenches. I love war crimes.

      People keep calling me a “noob” because I keep dying.

      But its fine, I just call the people with different uniforms “Aimbot Cheaters”

    People like to ask edgy questions to get imaginary points or to feel important by getting hidden information, people are goofy.

    Why are people religious? In part because it’s human nature to want to know things that other people don’t know. Fake hidden knowledge is a sweet treat to a truth starved brain

    In many jurisdictions there is a big difference between murdering and killing. Murder it’s almost always a giant no-no. The killing angle would more likely get you some stories. There’s a tumblr (?) thread about women offing their husbands etc for some pretty reasonable reasons - although, honestly, a lot of those were probably murder; now that I think of it.

      “You been screwin’ the milkman?” He shouted, “You been screwin’ the milkman?!”

      And then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times.

        Yeah, that’s right up there with the classic “face-to-fist” fighting technique. Sadly, the thread in question was a bit more “…he did it to me for years but the first time he did it to our daughter I snapped.” Kinda grim - but real.

    There was someone I know who died of covid, and there is reason to believe I was the one who gave it to them. I remember frantically rereading scripture after that for an assessment to get an idea of the weight of that. I don’t like the thought.
