What is the dumbest reason to kill somebody?
(midwest.social)
In the name of religion.
But my god is more peaceful than yours. You'll accept this or I'll have to kill you. /s
A few years back it snowed in Seattle, which is uncommon. I saw a video where folks were having a snowball fight, as you do. A snowball entered the partially open window of a driver. The lady proceeded to Hop the curb, and drive up some embankments trying to hit people with her car.
For a fuckin snowball.
Guy I know was in his car when it was hit by kids having a snowball fight. So he drove straight at them onto the pavement, trapped them in a shop doorway and cracked their heads together before heading in his way. There was an article in the local paper about the police looking for him because one of the kids suffered a broken jaw. He still feels that it was a justifiable course of action .
That guy is a fuckin menace, and a liar to boot. If he really thought he was justified he'd have turned himself in to the police, but he knew what he did was wrong even if he will never admit it to anyone including himself.
The dude is an asshole, but this is bad legal advice. Never talk to the cops directly. Always go through your lawyer.

Because someone in your government has decided that you have to.
This is mind blowing to me. I understand different perspective and everything and am not trying to knock anyone that genuinely and whole heartedly gets into it. But I cant wrap my head around "X knows best so we must kill for them because they taught us that way." Like there's actually people that think like that while acting like they are their own individual and not just a cog in someone else's game.
On the other hand some people grow up in that culture and are that. Those are the real ones.

Because they don't have same color skin.
We get in a fight at a tripple crossroads. He dies. Then I go back to his kingdom and marry his wife. Little did I know she was my mother and he was my father...
To maximize shareholders' profits.
Racism
Mistaken identity. "Sorry, my bad."
Because you were not paying attention while behind the wheel.
For ringing your doorbell
Well, the dumbest reason I've seen people get murder-y for is typically fighting over inheritance.
It's like... now there's even more inheritance to fight over. Then also you just paid for one funeral, and now you want to pay for another?
Because you want to know what it's like to kill someone.
Because in your impaired judgement you were 'good to drive home' after a few drinks.

There is no good reason to kill. Only bad excuses
For whistling.

Followers stake the moral upper ground and turn otherwise awful douchebags into martyrs.

There will never be a dumbest reason to kill somebody. Humankind will always be inventing the next dumbest reason.
