Hypothethical Question?

Question

Let's say you befriended a really wild, crazy person who seems like they have the world at their feet. They know all the big deal makers and have many connections with 'questionable individuals'. Let's say you witnessed them kill someone. What would you do if they were threatening to harm your family unless you remained silent? What would you do if the person is becoming paranoid and seems like they'd try to kill you to protect themselves. What if the situation where ther murder took place was involving illegal activities and by telling on the killer, you'd also be implicating yourself?

Listen, don't answer the question with "I wouldn't befriend someone like that." Assume for a second that a reasonable person would not have thought that the person would be capable of murder.

Answer 1

Hypothethically --- I would quitely move a long ways off,leaving behind no trace of where I went.

Answer 2

At the end of all of this, you've got nothing to loose by going to the proper authorities.

I'd tell and tell it right away! I don't too much understand how people get blackmailed. I'd be so afraid of getting caught up in the flux that I'd just expose myself and face the music, then the blackmailer has no leverage.

It's like bad medicine, hold your nose and swallow fast.

Answer 3

I wouldn't befriend a person like that. Scary scenario!

Answer 4

I would turn them in.If I were somehow implicated I would have to face that.I would not live with guilt,and I would never live under a
threat

Answer 5

get out before its too late seriously the signs are already there you don't have to snitch or be silent you have to get away from that behavior
