Would you mind if your new neighbor was a former murderer?

Question

Let's say he's nice, keeps his yard clean and doesn't make any noise

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

There’s no such thing as a “former murderer”. You can’t take back murder and you can’t make amends for it. That’s the reason that it’s considered one of the most egregious crimes.
My level of concern would depend entirely upon the circumstances of their crime. Did they kill someone who was threatening them or their family? I welcome them to the neighborhood and we become great friends! Did they run over some kid on a bike because the kid was wearing a red hat? We’d never be friendly and my vigilance would be high. Did they have a complete psychotic break and murder a bunch of random people? I’d probably find a way to make them disappear before their next psychotic episode.

There is no such thing as " former "
He or she is a murderer , I'd keep my distance , no invitations over for Sunday brunch.

But it would depend more on the circumstances of the murder itself.. who and why? etc etc

Or was it murders? This would all make a big difference.

Depends who he murdered and why. My morality and ethics are completely situational and flexible. The US government murders people all the time. But a lot of people seem very tolerant of that. What about those 100-120 Iranian kids tRump murdered a few months ago?

@kvass I would check up on him to see if he was an 'ax murderer" and then check his tool shed for an ax or hatchet. Always talk to him in the yard with my Beretta 92fs loaded and cocked behind my back, trying for the 'head shot' if necessary.

😂😂😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

Has the person served their full sentence, shown genuine remorse, and successfully completed rehabilitation programmes? I wouldn't stress over it.

Depends on the context I guess… did he murder a random person? Then hell yeah I would be uncomfortable. I guess I just wouldn’t like it either way though.

AubrieMorman · Answer

It really depends. It's not really that worrying to me if I have no connection to them, i'll treat them just as I do with any other stranger because it's wrong to treat someone badly because they did some bad things in the past. At the same time i'd be on guard just incase though especially if they committed the murder due to psychosis, explosive rage etc

AlperHan · Answer

Honestly, I think he'd be the unlucky neighbor...

KostasKouvalis · Answer

I guess it depends who he/she murdered and why and if there's a chance of them murdering ME. If it was like Varg Vikerness, Casey Anthony, or OJ even, I wouldn't care.

AngryCarl3 · Answer

I'm probably going to be cool with that. As long as he's not a serial killer. If he's just one and done I'm sure it will be fine. Most people who spent time in prison don't want to go back.

TonyMetal___1986 · Answer

It's weird for an ex criminal to have these positive traits hehe

rebeccadn · Answer

I would move out of an apartment if I found out someone had been murdered in my neighbourhood, never mind my next-door neighbour.

thegreenyogi · Answer

Oh I would definitely mind... I'd sell my home and move. I wouldn't feel safe.

lilBigPotato · Answer

Obviously if I'd have the choice I prefer you not have one as neighbour 🤷‍♀️

LiamS95 · Answer

Most murderers are just like that, they don't want o draw any attention to themselves.

Anonymous · Answer

I won't mind or care unless his behaviour took U-turn.

bear34 · Answer

I wouldn't do anything to make him or her feel bad, but I would always be cautious. If I had children, I would be even more careful.

canamlusciouslad73 · Answer

Depends on if they've reformed.(I've got at least two killers in my family.)

Abbycado · Answer
