Would you date a person who killed someone?

Question

Would you date someone who killed someone  unintentionally?

For example: 
1. Self defense 
2. Drunk driving

Accepted Answer

Self defense? Then maybe. (Someone trying to kill him or a burglary-something like that) Drunk driving? No, I don't need someone reckless like that in my life.

Answer

I can't see how drunk driving is unintentional

Answer

Hubby won't go into detail understandably, but he was in Afghan...and has said he has killed people.. :/ so really just depends.

Answer

Oiy. Even those two examples have layers. Drunk driving shows a reckless disregard for those around. If this were the case, is this person generally I'm concerned about the safety of others? Is this person still drinking? Is this person genuinely sorry and has changed their behaviors? All the matters.

And suck the fence… Was it self-defense such as described by George Zimmerman, Who was behaving in an inappropriate fashion and following around young man even after being directed not to by 911? Was it unquestionably self-defense, such as a home break-in?

Well you're on the topic of unintentional killing others, you would have to add in people in the military and law-enforcement, where killing somebody may be an unavoidable part of their duties. We would have to add in healthcare personnel, who you kill somebody with a medication side effect or a missed diagnosis or the wrong medication/dose or a slipped scalpel or a previously unknown allergy.

I would need to know whether this was an unavoidable event or not (eg drunk driving shouldn't happen), how the person has responded (eg still drinking?), and if there are outstanding financial or legal sequellae that would make it difficult to have a long-term relationship with this person (facing a long jail term? Financially unstable? Able to hold a job?)

Answer

If it was truly life or death self defense then yes. I see it as they had NO other choice,and if I were in their position I would do the same.

Answer

If it was legitimate self defense, yes. but for any other reason? No.

Answer

My soon to be ex husband (I believe) is a murderer. He's in prison for drug charges. But he's served time for attempted murder before, and he's told me things I wouldn't tell anyone else. Hence the reason he's no longer in mine or our child's life.

Answer

how is drunk driving unintentional? you decided to get into a car when you knew you had been drinking. that's far from unintentional, that's murder. you can't even put that next to self defense because it is NO way anywhere near similar. if you drive when drunk, and kill someone, you did it on purpose, because you chose to drive when you knew you shouldn't be. end of story. this post has pissed me clean off.

Answer

If it was self defense yes but in cold blood probably not, I've never been one to be in favor of being with someone in prison
