Would you take a life to save a life?
 

Thought i was going to have to last night. Me my wife and my kid were geting some fish bait at a local store her and this frigin lunitic come walkin in the store swinging this big ass knife around screaming things. I managed to get my wife and kid out no problem but the owners wife was still in side. Went and got my piece and went back inside to get here. But she got out thru the back door. The guy held up in the store for allmost what seemed for ever.

He came out finally and was screaming at police to kill him. He charged them and they shot him. I aint never seen no crazy shit like that :Oh crap

I would in a heart beat.
Some people can't.

Id shoot him

Depends on whos life.

that's the point

you sure that wasnt anywhere near Maui?

As far as I am concerned if your not immediate family or a close friend then yes..Threaten my loved ones and be prepared to pay for it with your life. Now if it involved my wife, my mother, or my sister who are really the closest family I have, I would tear someone apart with my bare hands to defend them, even give my life to make sure they survived if necessary.

That's a whole lot to happen during a trip to the store! If family and very close friends are invovled we act on instinct and anything could happen. If it's just a fellow citizen, then you will think twice. It all just depends on the situation.

I'm not sure about you guys but when it comes to family i tend to black out when shit hits the fan and only the good grace of God can save your life then. Some one has to pull me off of the person.

I would, without a doubt.
Did the guy make it?

Same her mdcq, I am always ready to protect and defend my family at any given situation, even if it cost me my life.

No this happened over here in clearwater last night....

yeah he survied he is still in the hospital......

either way someone loses their life, so what is the real difference? I might take 1 life to save 100...

and who are you to choose which life is more important?

Wow! That sucks! Glad you and your family are ok! :)

a terrorist was driving in his car with his wife and his two small kids, he was holding a device that he was going to use blow up a shopping mall at the busiest time of the day

the only way to stop him was to blow up his car with his wife and kids inside, and that's what MI 5 did. Do you justify that? They killed two innocent kids in order to save hundreds of lives.


p.s. yeah, I used to watch too many movies

holy shit! Glad you made it out safely.

To answer your question - yes I could quite easily justify taking the life of another in order to save someone else. If it were a family member that I would save then I wouldn't have to even think about taking anothers life.

yes id do it.

It really depends upon the situation but surely we would save a life.
