Murder

True confession of attempted murder!

I was in first grade, six or so years of age.
My horrible grandmother (father's side) came to visit and was being horrible: horrible to my mother, horrible to me.

So, I got my hands on her meds and dumped the pill bottle's contents behind the freezer.

Alas, since most of her ailments were merely hypochondria, her demise wasn't forthcoming.

Eventually my mother found the pills behind the freezer. She said that Grandma had dumped them there herself to create an incident.
I never confessed that I was the perp.

This grandmother was always "at death's door!" but didn't pass till she was 96 years of age. This was the same grandmother who later took in my sister and I in after our father died and mother "moved on;" who during her guardianship would do things such as punishing us by making us bury pets slaughtered for the atonement of our "sins." And worse I will not relate.

I had subsequent opportunities to help her pass on, but no longer the amoral innocence to do it.

Interesting story this one is. Statute of limitations - if any were applicable - expired?
 
Some of the nicest people I've ever known were senselessly murdered. :(

I knew an old lady who used to help out a lot of people who were down on their luck. She would find odd jobs for people who needed cash and help families who were struggling with their bills in whatever ways she could. A pair of miscreants stabbed her to death "because she was 85 years old and was complaining of arthritis". :(

An old man who lived in a motor home & just wanted to enjoy his last years hiking and camping in the desert who was killed by a group of thugs; apparently just for kicks. :(

A woman my age was murdered by her boyfriend. I'm sure he had an excuse, but I've never heard what it was. :(

A man I spoke to quite a bit online (who may have been a member here many years ago) was attacked and beaten to death outside a bar; apparently by a small group of other men but I don't think any of them were ever identified.

Somehow the victims were never the people I thought would find themselves removed from the gene pool for terrible life choices. It was always the people I thought would live long and prosper because they never gave anyone cause to hurt them, let alone kill them. :(

Years ago I was having lunch at work when a guy showed up. My friend Ron introduced us all to his brother Frank. The brothers then went to another table where they could discuss something in private. Ron looked really disturbed when he returned.

The next day Frank was arrested and charged with first degree murder for helping his girlfriend kill her family.

She sounds like a lovely person!

This is well known among emergency medicine professionals. Not just for murder, but general survival. 2 people come in, one is tattooed, toothless, nasty-tempered & reeks of cheap booze, and the other is a sweet little old lady who doesn't want to be a bother, she just came because her daughter/neighbor was concerned.

The tattooed one has been nearly ripped in half by construction machinery. The old lady has been feeling a little off for a couple of days.

The rule is *never* take your eyes off the old lady, because she will give a little gasp & politely expire. The other one will live through everything and be even nastier than before.

Thank-you for a thought-provoking post.

Maybe there's a lesson for all of us there? Maybe it pays to be more assertive & follow our baser desires, even if they clash with societal expectations? Does fighting authority prepare us for fighting for our lives in other circumstances?
