Could you kill someone and live with yourself?

I was just wondering how many people think that they could kill someone either intentionally or unintentionally and still go on with your daily lives as if nothing happened. Just say you were driving one night and it was all dark and you accidentally hit a drunk who was staggering across the road and he ended up dying as a result. If there was nobody around would you call the police expecting to get a manslaughter charge and fess up to the incident or would you just drive away and convince yourself that it's all okay because it was an accident? This situation is kinda the same to the movie, I Know What You Did Last Summer, if anyone has seen it, but I think it depends on individuals personalities whether or not they could live with themselves if this happened and actually consider whether it'd be ok just to drive away without calling the police and suffering the consequences in the first place. Discuss!

Or in general, you could just discuss anything associated with this topic.

Of course I could. What other options are there? I'd of course report the manslaughter, but more our of self-interest than anything else. I'd probably get caught sooner or later anyway, and I'd save myself from a long sentence and a fair bit of anxiety.

Shit happens. I'm not going to be sorry and ruin my own life because something happened that I couldn't control.

i'd live with myself just fine but i'd definitely be 100% upfront, i wouldn't try to hide that whatsoever, take whatever consequences...

it would be even different if i had to kill someone self defense you know bob marley style. then i would hide from the law. because i'd be a righteous rebel.

the point is i'm not going to accidentally kill a drunk homeless person lol i'm not patrick bateman haha. rather give them granola bars.

I think I am resilient enough to handle that and live on as if nothing happened, yes.

Trying to get away with it would just make the situation that much worse. I'd be able to live with it for sure, accidents happen. Just report it and take the consequences.

Nah, I don't think I have it in me to do it, even if they wronged me. It is not that I am super moral or whatever, I just wouldn't be able to handle all the psychological torment it would cause me.

I'd call an ambulance and from that point, I'd contemplate whether I tell them the truth or not.
Mental/Psychological torment does not bother me. I've been through a lot. Another dead person who has nothing to do with me will not emotionally break me that easily.

No Id feel bad even if they are a bad person and if someone else did the killing for me on a hit. I could live with beating someone or ruining their life though if they deserve it.

I'd probably just say he was wondering aimlessly in the streets and anyone would have hit him.

I'd feel bad sure, but if it was the dudes fault, I'm not gonna be blaming myself for it forever.

Feed the body to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".

I would never hit and run, the anxiety of getting caught would linger with me for a long while. But as long as I got through all the legal processes I can't see myself being haunted by something like that. Far as I'm concerned dying isn't a bad thing for the individual, and those left behind are perfect strangers.

Yes, I'd be able to live with myself.

But first, I'd check if the laws say anything about him being 1. Drunk. 2. Staggering in the middle of a road while drunk in the middle of the night. 3. Staggering in a middle of a road where there's no crosswalk.

That would take me about 3 minutes or so. Then I'll see if I should call the police or not.

If I'd be in trouble, I'll just either get the fuck out and move out of Italy (I am able to) or just call the police anyway and get a good lawyer.

Probably not. I still agonize over some of the stupid things I have done years in the past, and those are insignificant compared to a more permanent act like killing someone. Even if it was an accident, I honestly think the guilt would destroy me.

For the situation Bambi said, no. I don't think I could live with myself if I just drove away, and plus the manslaughter charges would be ramped up into some serious shit.

Other situations, maybe. If it was a kill or be killed situation I could probably live with it.

Yes I could kill someone and not feel guilty nor give a dam.
Had plenty of thoughts and plots to kill.

Edit: Unless I got caught and life in jail. Then yes I would regret doing it.

I could kill someone intentionally if the right buttons are pushed. But for the situation you described I say no, I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

I would probably get over hitting some drunk guy. I'd report it in fear of getting caught and given a tougher sentence if I didn't.
I won't lose sleep over anyone who pissed me off enogh I'd kill. I wouldn't kill in the first place unless my life was at stake.
Probably.

I can see you

Depends on the circumstances really.

However, I could think myself killing someone in order to protect someone dear to me though I would probably be traumatized for the rest of my life... So yeah.

Depends on who I kill. If I killed Obama I would be pretty proud of myself. If I killed David Bowie I would go into a demented state of mind that relinquishes me of any sanity.

TBH I'm willing to bet money on the fact that I could.

Guess it depends on whether I meant to or not. If it was an accident then it'd probably be a lot harder to live with myself unless I really couldn't have avoided it.

But if I meant to, then sure. If I want/need the bitch dead that much (example, me getting robbed), chances are he deserves to be dead anyway. No skin off my back.

Edit: The examples I originally gave were a bit cheesy movie ish and probably would never happen. So at a more realistic stand point, I could in self defense or in the defense of someone else I care for. But it would fuck me up. And if it was an accident then I would report it and take whatever punishment they gave me. But it wouldn't mess me up too much because. well. It was an accident. I'd feel bed, but not much you can really do in a situation like that.
