If your best friend killed someone

[Kevin D 9,738]

Would you turn them into the authorities? Just to be clear, there is no financial reward in this instance

[Section_31 25,770]

Depends on the circumstances, if it was accidental or self defense then possibly not, cold blooded murder? Yes, but would do it in such a way as to force them to turn themselves in first.

[Pidge 4,537]

Crime of passion or something then it would be time to talk them into doing the right thing and face the music, letting them know that they'd still have my support - if that didn't work (and I doubt it would) I don't know. Psycho-Gein style nuttery? Then it's men in white coats time.

 

Voted no because the police would not be my first port of call.

Only if the victim was a child*

Yay, yay and thrice yay, and if you lot knew my best mate you'd also have the surly horrible bastard down the nick quicksmart.

 

I am that miserable cunt's only friend in the entire world, I almost had a full on fist fight with the fucker less than 48 hours before his wedding, where I was his Best Man.

 

I started my Best Man speech with the vitriol laced line : "I fucking HATE this cunt.". To which, the audience whooped it up, cos they all hated the twat too.

 

Even his missus fucking detests him.

 

So, to clarify : too fucking right I would.

[lifetime fan 12,727]

I'm a firm believer that given the wrong/right set of circumstances we're all capable of killing.

 

It would depend on the context but I can envisage a scenario where I'd say fuck all.

[Tom R 1,787]

Speaking from genuine experience I can say categorically no, (not my best friend but a good friend) but as said above it's always dependent on circumstance.

 

Sometimes good people do bad things. I don't believe it's the same as when bad people do bad things. The law says otherwise.

 

Life, unlike the law, is never black and white.

No way ! If a mate killed someone especially if I didn't know them there's no way I'd grass him up. Anybody who would even think about doing it is a bad grass. Mind you if thre was a big reward like I'd have to have a think about it.

[Captain Turdseye 15,140]

It depends on who he'd killed.

[Chairman Meow 4,619]

I couldn't as when I was once questioned in a murder investigation and phoned him up to say they would be in touch because I had been out with him on the night it happened his immediate response was "I'll back you up". That was before he even knew I was telling the truth and we had been.

 

You can't buy loyalty like that, no hesitation at all just an immediate don't worry I'll cover your back.

 

It would be unacceptable not to show the same kind of loyalty back if the tables turned.

Once questioned in a murder investigation?! Best friend is a killer!!!!

 

This thread is most exciting!

[Captain Turdseye 15,140]

I once beat up a man that had previously done 8 years for manslaughter. I am one bad motherfucker.

[lifetime fan 12,727]

There was this wanker marine playing pool...

[Lee909 13,106]

I once shot a man just to watch him die

[Captain Turdseye 15,140]

Outside. Now.

Awww I thought this was a Simon thread :(

[zigackly 621]

Correct.

Actually strictly speaking I was questioned twice.

[Remmie 7,094]

I don't see what you copping off with Silverlining has to do with this thread.

This has made me laugh a lot

Oooooooh! Oooooooooh! MUST NOT ASK MUST NOT ASK

That's impressive, too.

[Pony Princess 311]

Depends who they killed and if they were likely to do it again. If they are sorry and won't do it again, what's the point in shopping them? What can I say, I'm a pragmatist.

[Uncle_Meat 31]

Depends upon the circumstances. If it was a cruel and senseless killing, then yes.

 

If it was an entirely justifiable reaction to someone putting tomato sauce in their bacon butty and they then killed by battery in an amusing fashion, say with a large comedy spoon or a dildo, then no.
