Not just uncaught murderers, there are a lot of people who have killed without legally being considered murderers.
People who killed people in accidents such as driving accidents or hunting accidents
People who killed in self defense
Soldiers who killed enemy soldiers
Executioners
Police officers who have killed on duty
Doctors and nurses who have made mistakes that accidentally killed patients
Yeah, I think I’ve met 3 murderers, two before they murdered, one after the fact.
One was mentally unstable and sad, then made fun of, second I met was kind and normal, third was dumb bulky drug dealer that was also kind.
None of them were evil or psychopaths or any of those typical traits and it made me think that to become a murdered you have to be both unlucky and triggered in a meaningful way.
I know I have. Back in 2010 or thereabouts, this guy at work who I trained to run the shift opposite of me is now in prison for multiple murders.
Anyone from Poland remember the case in the news about a guy murdering people so he could take over their property? Yeah, that one…
I once gave a friend of a friend a condescending chewing-out after they did something hurtful.
Some time later our mutual friend informed me that they had died, but declined to tell me the cause of death.
Much later I discovered it was self-caused.
… Were my words too much? We spend our lives trying to be more effective communicators. What if we’re too effective when it matters most?
I killed someone. It’s a called a dead name for a reason.
If you want to test this, start up conversations with the combat vets around you. You might not like the answers. That’s the vast majority of killers I’ve known (that I’ve known).
I work in healthcare, I’ve removed… so many people from life support. I often wonder if that’s, not the same, but…
I’ve met many people that have killed people. I didn’t think that was all that unusual. I know for sure two people I’ve met had killed people and there’s a whole bunch more that range from maybe to probably.

Same here. While no one in my family has ever owned a gun, I can think of at least 3 people I’ve met who have killed someone. One was by a nice woman and was clearly in self-defense.
Went to high school with one.
I went to high school with at least six. I say “at least” because those are just the four I know about. Two killed people with their car, three went into the military right after graduating and did combat tours. Talking with them afterwards, it was clear they had 100% seen combat and killed people. And the last just straight up shanked a dude at a local fast food place during a drug deal.
I wonder how many people who have themselves unknowingly caused a death, though some thoughtless or innocuous action. E.g. a discarded banana peel causes another person to later slip and fall with a fatal result.
the number of people who fall into this category through their use of stock LED headlights is non-zero
There’s an early Robot Chicken bit where he dies and asks silly questions to a book that can give him an answer like how many times did I listen to this song, or how much of a wall could my poop make. This question sounds like an interesting one to ask that book though. Actually I’d probably prefer not to know the chaotic randomness that is our lives but guess the lives part would be redundant at that point anyways.
I have. I used to drink with someone who later killed someone while drinking.
Carl can fuck right off.
If you’re old enough you’ve definitely met someone who has done at least one murder. The question is intent as you’ve said: did you meet the drunk driver or the serial killer with 50 bodies in the basement who hasn’t been caught.
Also this applies to rape and that is far more common because it is simply less reported. One of your buddies might be a person that has straight up forced a person to have sex, maybe violently
Let’s not forget the more obvious, most veterans or military have killed people but. We usually don’t count them because they were killing “bad people” that just happened to be from a different country.
op straight up said that one bud but yes imperialism has a lot of murderers walking among us. Some of your zionist friends may have committed war crimes during their time in israel only to come back to home to 0 consequences and to be a fucking sociopath that, I dunno, goes on tinder dates without dropping the bomb that they sniped children that posed 0 threat because they’re fucking inhuman monsters
Most veterans and military have not killed anyone.
I’ve been in the army and I met guys there who took part in the Karfreitagsgefecht. They may or may not have killed some poor peasant with an AK but they for certain lost an important part of themselves.
You have definitely met someone who will kill themselves in the end. The rate is about 1/70 people in the US, and for every successful suicide there are 32 attempts of varying seriousness.
I’m four friends (three best friends at various points in life) and five or six acquaintances down, and I’m not 40 yet. I’ll have to agree with you.
Back in 2000 I had a close skydiving buddy. He was an excellent competitive pool player and taught me how to play and I even went on to win a few tournaments.
Our friendship came to an end when my girlfriend broke up with me and he was in bed with her the very next day.
Out of curiosity I tried looking up his name about a year ago. Turns out he was living with a woman down in Tampa, Fl. She had lost a child previously and was dealing with major psychological issues… He came home to find she had committed suicide… And he killed himself because of it. This all happened way back in 2013. So he’s been dead a long time.
I’ve met two people who took their own lives.
My mom shot herself with her husbands gun.
My moms father shot himself with his rifle.
Oh man, buddy, I’m so sorry for your loss. Those must have been hugely impactful to grieve. How are you doing?
Yeah. There judicial/extrajudicial murders. There is different levels of manslaughter / accidental killings and such. Then there are the different degrees of murder. Even the mislabeling of products hsve brought “manslaughter” charges…
Anyway, yeah, many many people are either directly, or indirectly related/responsible for someone’s death.
In a sense, by levels of separation, I am indirectly responsible for a couple different people’s death…
Its not something that someone would put blame on me, I mean, I used to party with a lot of people, these people died while “partying”… not while around me, or because of me, but I didnt discourage the “partying” these folks were doing.

You want to get philosophical? Every mother and father are both directly responsible for the death of their children - even when that death is natural causes by old age, it wouldn’t have happened if they weren’t born.
