I'd love to ask the escapists if any of them have ever killed someone, but I don't think it would be possible to filter the trolls from the truth. Instead I would love to know if any of you know anybody who has killed - as in homocide, outside of war or policing - in the past, and what they were like, and if it changed how you felt about them drasticaly.
I have been aquaintance to two murderers that I know of, but who really knows if there were more. The first was an incredibly disturbed guy, a friend of my friends older brother but I knew him quite well regardless (had been on holidays with him etc.). He murdered and then mutilated the body of a man who raped his friend.
Another, I worked with. A friend of bikies, though not a bikie himself, he found himself in a lot of messy situatons. He killed a man for a drug related transaction gone sour, changed his name and took on a new life.
Neither of these people surprised me when I found out their past. The first one made me feel very off when I found out. I was only about 15 and learning someone I had hung out with for a long time was quite disturbed.
The second, did not change my feelings at all about him. I knew he was a bit of a loose cannon from working together, and I knew he had a shady past. Being a few years older may have helped, but I lost no respect for this man.
As for being on topic I would say 1,250,000 pounds. I think I would kill a man for less, if I knew he was bad, but to say for sure to killing an innocent person... Well, that is something that stays with you forever, and will eat away at your soul as you try to enjoy your money. Stronger men than any of you have done it and found themselves consumed by guilt. It takes a real son of a ***** to feel nothing at all when killing an innocent family man, and I know it would get the best of me - the 1.25 million is for me to spend on the few weeks before guilt forces me to suicide.
