simple answer for me- the person who died also had a family and a best friend! Take him to a lawyer and have him turn himself in___You find out your best friend murdered someone in cold blood.. say he ran them over while drunk or he shot them during a botched robbery. You've known this guy your whole life and you know he would do the same for you. Do you narc him out?
I was driving by my old house, which has a massive hill by it and the top of the hill is a blindspot(which people fly over at 60 mph when it is a 25.) Well I'm driving up the hill and I'm on the cell phone when half way up I get off the cell phone, to the right there is two light poles.. one close and one 50 feet away a little behind the hill. As I'm driving up I see the second one which was normal start flickering like a spasm, never seen a light do this, and it caught my eye which caused me to move over. As I moved over a car flew over the hill exactly where I was, and would of killed me. As I drove past the light.. it went back to normal and stayed normal for the 10 minutes I waited. It actually creeped me the fuck out.. your thoughts?
If your friend who did the killing was not in imminent danger at the time he did the killing (and I'm assuming he wasn't since he got 14 years), I think you need to seriously re-evaluate who you "respect".One of my friends shot and killed his housemate with multiple rounds. I knew the housemate as a slime scumbag, but I'm not God or the law. 14 years for my 'friend' in a PA medium prison (he had prior time so it wasn't any shock, and he got out two years ago). This thread is about 'choice given knowledge' but a parallel thoughtline might also be, "could the killer still be your friend?" In my case I respected the killer and still do. Bleeds over into death penalty opinions and convictions, but another associated topic is people who deserved reprisal and bodily harm but skated.
