My favorite teams
If someone was attacking anyone in my family to the point where I felt killing them was the only way to stop them...I could do it. Outside of protecting my family/loved ones I don't think I could. But I don't know if that could be considered murder or self defense.

I don't have the experience to get hired to murder, so no.

The most dangerous place on Earth is revealed to be... Cabot Cove
Cabot Cove has a higher murder rate than violent country Honduras
The idyllic seaside town of Cabot Cove looks at first glance like a pleasant and relaxing place to live.
In fact, it is the murder capital of the world and far more dangerous than the most violent parts of the globe, including Honduras in Central America.
Thankfully, it is just the fictional New England setting for popular TV series Murder, She Wrote.
Amateur detective Jessica Fletcher, played by Angela Lansbury, encountered a total of 274 killings in the small town in Maine, despite it having a population of just 3,500.
This gives it an annual murder rate of 1,490 per million — more than 50 per cent higher than Honduras, where it is 910 per million.
In the last two years 1,000 women have been murdered in the country - and 90 percent were not even investigated.
And Cabot Cove was even further ahead of El Salvador, a country which recently celebrated a unique milestone - its first day in three years when nobody was murdered.
Around five people were murdered in the fictional coastal spot every year, according to BBC Radio 4's More or Less.
ITV detective series Midsomer Murders also has an exceptionally high murder rate, on a par with Chile and Latvia.
Researchers working out the figures assumed the county of Midsomer, where the action was set, would probably have a similar population size to Oxfordshire, where it is filmed.
They then worked out that it would have an annual murder rate of 32 per million.
That is three times the rate that Thames Valley Constabulary reports for Oxfordshire.
Midsomer experiences around 2.6 killings per episode over around eight episodes a year, meaning 21 murders were committed there each year.
Los Angeles in the 1970s was the setting for many popular crime series - yet these shows had a far lower murder rate than the city did in reality.
Columbo, Quincy, Perry Mason, Jim Rockford and Jonathan and Jennifer Hart all hunted killers on LA's mean streets during that decade.
The murder rate across all those series was 29 per million, while in real life, it was 230 per million.
As David Crawford writes in the Radio Times: 'If you want reassurance that the world is not such a frightening place, watch an American, urban detective drama from the 70s.
'But if you want the beejaysus scaring out of you, watch Angela Lansbury.'
The findings were calculated by Open University statisticians for Radio 4 mathematics programme 'More or Less'.

Russian woman, 26, 'strangled elderly neighbour with her bra'
A 26-year-old woman in Russia stripped off her bra to use it as a murder weapon to strangle her neighbour, according to police.
The unnamed woman, who lives in the city of Zakamensk, attacked her 65-year-old pensioner neighbour because he 'refused to lend her money for a drinking binge'.
The woman reacted after the neighbour, who is also unnamed, refused to pay for her vodka - and told her that she 'needed to live in a less debauched way'.
A source at the local branch of the Russian Investigatove Committee in Buryatia said: 'The young woman then hit him several times, and kicked him... clutching her hands around his throat.'
'She then took her bra off, and looped it around the man's neck.'
Police say the man died at the scene and the woman - along with her boyfriend, who had accompanied her to the neighbour's house and allegedly did nothing to stop his girlfriend - tried to flee after the attack.
Both were arrested near the scene.
Police say the woman faces up to 15 years in prison.

I don't mean to turn this into a gun debate, but--relatively speaking--it's much easier to shoot someone with a gun than it is to murder them in a way that's more personal such as a stabbing/strangling/beating, etc. You don't have to get quite as close to the person and it can happen in a brief instant.
I don't think I'm capable either way, but I think I'd be more capable with a gun in my hand than with any other weapon.
