Would you kill a terrorist?

March 23, 2017 1:27pm CST
Unfortunately, terrorist attacks have been intensifying and geographically diversifying ever faster. The world is becoming hostage to small groups that seem to have lost control of what it is to be a "human being" in its essence. This is really sad. So, my question is: Regardless of your character profile, your religion... Anyway, regardless of your principles... If you had the chance to kill a terrorist, would you kill him/her/them?

I honestly do not know what I would do if I was in that situation. I think one has to consider how best to keep the innocent safe though.

I would probably just have a thought of killing somebody ( God forbid) if it is a direct threat to me and my loved ones, and that means terrorist or no terrorist The word " terrorist " could have different meanings to different people, so my answer is no, they might be fighting for a just cause and it depends on the situation.

Terrorists should be punished for their actions. I couldn't kill another human, it is not something that I could live with. I would try to capture them and stop them with all my power.

@TheInvisibleMan Every person is different, I think the we would all have a unique way of facing a dangerous incident. I hope we will never be present in anything like that. How would you react in a situtation like that?

@besweet In the last case (after all the alternatives), I would kill.

I would like to see all terrorists killed, but could never do it myself.

That is a hard question. Do I know for sure that they have killed others or will kill others? I think I could kill someone if they were going to kill me or someone else....

Interesting question! I wouldn't want to kill anyone but I if I came upon one who was intend on killing others then I would definitely try to stop him but hopefully try to stop him and capture him.

If I had the chance, I would certainly give it my best shot, and I'm a pretty good shot.

It'd depend on a few things...like in cold blood or the heat of the moment. I don't know what I'd do as until you're in the situation all you'll know is what you think you'd do.
