Comment on You've probably met someone who has killed a person
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks agoSome do.
Soldiers who killed enemy soldiers
Starting to get more likely in Eastern Europe now than the US I’d say. Never know when you might run into a former Russian or Ukrainan soldier.
People who killed in self defense
Probably less likely outside of the US since no guns, but assault is still a thing and you can kill an assailant without a gun.
Doctors and nurses who have made mistakes that accidentally killed patients
This is universal.
People who killed people in accidents such as driving accidents or hunting accidents
So is this.

That is true, but I think they were just trying to take a shot (haha) at the US. Well deserved, for sure.

So only the last 2.
Also, they don’t mention the most obvious reason, meeting a murderer that didn’t get caught.
It is quite easy to murder someone if you take your time and are careful.
Most solved cases would be crimes of passion where the killer doesn’t care (at that moment)
And yes, also a shot at the despicable US gun culture and militarism
