(November 24, 2015 at 7:16 pm)mh.brewer Wrote: So, you see an individual that is about to kill another person. You don't know the killer or the other person (both adults, let's leave kids out of this, both same race and sex). There are only moments to stop the killer and your only option is to kill. Not wound, not talk, not call police.

Would you kill?

This hypothetical is too stretched.  But given all this, I suppose I would kill, as the chance of a killer being a criminal seem greater than the chance that he is getting revenge for his murdered family or something.
