Have You Ever Lawfully Killed Somebody? (Self Defense Stories r/AskReddit)

serious redditors who had lawfully killed someone what's your story my middle daughter's nutcase ex-boyfriend smashed the glass out of our dining room slider while we were eating supper he burst in wielding a single bit axe my kids fled while I attempted to reason with him then I fled once I realized there was no reasoning with him he followed me I tossed a cushion from the living room sofa at him then retreated to my bedroom he followed me and broke down the door I blew him apart with my little Coach gun both barrels the powers that be charged it offers justifiable homicide my girls and I spent six weeks in a cheap motel until we found a different house to rent when you've only got two shots off 12-gauge you make em count you did what you had to do and I commend you for that generally the doctor writes the order to tit for it morphine for air hunger discontinues any medication and rights for comfort measures only then I just keep giving morphine until they don't crave air anymore my guess this isn't what was asked but nurses have to kill people all the time so my feel good about some feel frickin horrible 22 year with cancer 48 year old with idea Pathak pulmonary fibrosis some just stay with you for the rest of your life I remember one man in particular who said he just wanted to die at home when he said this I almost started crying in front of him because I knew he was so much oxygen that he would have died just trying to get him to an ambulance to go home I kept him alive until his last son made it to the hospital best I could do we shook each other's hand said it was an honor and a privilege to know each other he said his goodbyes to his family I removed his oxygen and turned up the morphine I don't normally cry and if I do I don't do it in front of the patient or their family then we only have a couple minutes to be heartbroken because we have to get back to work thank you for your mercy and caring I used to work as a corrections officer at a County Jail anyway about two years ago one of our diabetic inmates had a blood sugar of about 400 plus so I was the one who transported him to the air so we're just sitting there talking in the hospital and I hear screaming and crashes in the room next to us I go to the door and there are probably 15 nurses standing outside the door of the next room overlooking him I ask them what's going on and they say there is a man here fighting security staff I ask them if they need help and someone says yes so I instruct one of them to stay with my inmate and I enter the room there is a huge man there maybe 350 pounds thrashing and screaming and he is fighting four security guards on the ground who are trying to restrain him I jump in basically take a full mount on his hips pinning his back to the floor and put him in a front facing headlock with a security guard on each limb at this point he had defecated all over himself and there was quite a bit of blood anyway I'm looking in his face and his eyes are completely wild when they just rolled back in his head and he goes completely limp we restrain him and lift him onto the table so the nurses can get started and I go back to my inmate about 30 minutes later the security informs me that he had died off a PCP overdose and took all my info down I get investigated for police brutality but no charges filed left that job about four months ago my 9mo son was dying of brain cancer and I asked his doctor to take him off life support I felt guilty but I believe it was the right thing to do sucks dude but if you saved him from the pain then it was the right thing to do my sympathies I worked as a bouncer in California for five years while I went to college there were lots of fights and squabbles but they usually ended with no one getting hurt with a few exceptions one in particular was a fellow who ran in jumped over the bar and started throwing the bottles everywhere then he lit a match and threw it on the ground fire didn't spread or do anything because it missed the alcohol but I was grabbing him and holding him back over the bar to restrain him while they called the cops he slashed me across my neck clavicle and chest with a switch bleeder when I grabbed his arms to protect my face he still cut my face six more times 96 stitches I was on my own just some kids in the bar and a female bartender so I just pushed his knife back into his throat while he kept trying to slash at my face snapping his wrist in half in the process I wasn't even trying to kill or do any of that I was just scared crapless I was going to die defending a bar even worse was while I was trying to stop his bleeding he was still swinging me he was definitely on Samaras my guilt is that even though I was bigger and more experienced I wasn't able to just solve the problem without any serious injuries so I killed somebody with nine witnesses cameras and one phone video there was nothing criminal but I can't touch someone's arms or hands without feeling like I'll snap their wrists in half backwards it was sickening of course I quit the next day he was the ex-boyfriend of another bartender who wasn't even there that day I think he might have killed the bartender that was there though so I'm glad I was there probably should post this from a throw away but I am not ashamed I own a diesel performance shop and many nights stay up there till midnight and leave my office doors open if the weather feels nice there is a bar next to my shop so I am used to people walking through my parking lot or by my office and never think about it this night it was a Friday and a guy stumbles up to my door mumbling I can't understand him so I walk over and ask him if he is okay he then straightened up and pulls a knife and slashed my face told me he knew today I paid all my guys in cash and to give him what was left I told him I only withdraw the exact amount for payroll and he tells me something he'll never forget get me money or your mama gonna be going to a funeral this week I said ok reached in my desk and pulled out a 380 a customer sold me the week before and shot twice first one hit his stomach second his leg I was trying me non-fatal but as it turns out apparently most shot in the leg are because of a majorie artery I tied off his leg while waiting for the police he was dead before they got there I don't regret it it turned out he was on him so who knows how it would have gone for me by so sincerely believe if you threaten someone's life you forfeit your own sad thing is his parents or customers of mine I went to the funeral they told me they don't blame me and they still bring their trucks to me and it's really only when I see then it comes up I'd say when the parents of the man you killed after he threatened to kill you are still giving you their business after the fact you probably shouldn't feel too bad about it when I was 14 I was walking home after chilling with my friends for a while it was about 8 o clock and the walk was only supposed to take me 15 minutes because I take a lot of back alleys and shortcuts I never thought of my town as an unsafe place not much crime happens yet I always carry around a pocket knife because you never know when you need it not just for defense either however as I was walking I noticed a guy standing up against a wall in of the others I paid no mind to him but that was my mistake as I passed him he tried to grab me he rapped on arm around my neck and cut his hand over my mouth and the other around my waist to carry me off at that point I instinctively grabbed my knife from my belt loop to keep it unconcealed because that's illegal where I live flicked it opens and just jabbed where M arm could reach turns out I stabbed the guy through his throat severing his jugular and his larynx after that I he threw me down and I ended up hitting my head on a dumpster which knocked me cold however I all heard before I was out was the guy trying to scream for help but the sounds were just horrifying next thing I remember I was in the hospital with a serious concussion and a bunch of cops apparently there was a shop a little down from where we were and the owner taking out the trash noticed us somehow one of his cameras must have caught everything because after they asked my story they didn't press charges or anything 2012 I had been doing security for about five months I worked at a crappy apartment complex which was an unarmed property but after two drive-bys I requested from the property management and my company to allow me to carry while I was there I had my armed guard card so it was legal three days after I got permission to carry I had some domestic abuse issues going on had cops unseen after everyone cleared out I went back to my patrols I was standing at an apartment building on the edge of the street while I had my head down writing out my report I felt a sharp pain in my back I stood straight up and next thing I know someone has their arm around my neck and a headlock he managed to get another stab into my stomach just under my vest I grabbed for my firearm pushed up in an attempt to break the hold which was ineffective I could feel him trying to stab but only meeting my vest I put my gun to the bottom of his head and pulled the trigger his let go of his grip and I turned around his face was completely freaked the angle of the gun made the bullet come out of his nose region his jaw was flash burnt to absolute crap and just hanging like a zombie I put two more into his chest when he finally fell pcp is one heck of a drug kids one of the reporting officers for the domestic abuse was parked up the street he saw the whole thing but didn't have time to warm me because he said the drug he was running towards me and since I was near a busy street I couldn't hear him coming I was not guilty the guy had two warrants and a long list of previous criminal history from assault to grand theft auto I haven't really thought about it since it happened throw away for this one a guy had taken serious issue with me earlier that year 2010 over hooking up with his ex-girlfriend and then dating her after some threatening Facebook messages was the only real interaction I had with him up until the nights it happened fast forward a few months I was at a bar with friends he keeps trying to start problems outside when we were smoking I keep backing away with no one to fight as guy telling him repeatedly that I don't want to fight you he swings and hits me and my reaction was to punch him in the throat and I really don't know why I guess the face just seemed like it would break my hand as I had never actually punched somebody before well he felt back and hit his head on a curb and died later in hospital from the head injury police never lay charges as there was a camera on the parking lot he was clearly the aggressor I feel bad he died wish he didn't but I just kind of tell myself that he did it to himself very unfortunate sin happened the way it did I don't think it's what you are looking for but I decided when it was time to take my father off life support yes it's bad please make sure you understand your parents wishes ahead of time it will help you when it's your turn it haunts me to today but here goes this was last year in April I was driving my aunt for some last-minute shopping before she left for the UK the next day traffic in Kenya is pure chaos basically every man for himself anyways I'm driving at about 50 kph suddenly I see a homeless guy jump into oncoming traffic trying to cross the road I guess he miscalculated the speed of the oncoming bus because he was hit and sent flying right onto my Lane he lands about two feet from the car and at the speed I was doing it was too late to stop long story short there's a very sickening sound the head makes as it explodes under pressure I'm not sure if the impact from the bus killed him but I sure as heck finished him off it crosses my mind every time I get into the driver's seat had a woman walk in front of my truck as I was driving later found out her intent was committing suicide she got her wish but I was left with earth-shattering PTSD changed my whole life happened when I was 16 I was part of a church retreat and some of the kids my age were all playing dodgeball together I was thw last member on my team left on my field and my friend was the last on his side I was really good at dodging but I throw like a [ __ ] unfortunately but my friend was overall very athletic and in dodgeball he was often referred to as face killer for obvious reasons he took aim and threw the ball as hard as he could and I ran my hardest to dodge and all of a sudden I trip over something and go flying across the field after trying to figure out what happened all I heard was just a really loud crying I looked back to where I was and there was a six year old kid who had happened to wander onto the field while I wasn't looking and decided to take a seat on the floor when I tripped over him he had hit his head really hard on the hardwood he didn't stop crying so he was taken to the hospital our chaperones told us not to worry in that thing we'll be okay my friend joked that I had killed him apparently the kid happened to have had a physical defect on the side of his head where the veins normally are it was all thinner than normal and in a tangled mess and from the impact it ruptured the veins and the doctors weren't able to stop the bleeding in his head it three days later the child had passed away I blamed myself for being the cause of his death for a long time knowing I had innocent blood on my hands were one of the biggest contributors for my depression but I never told anyone how I felt cause no one ever came to blame me not even the boy's family I just tried to self punish myself somehow to justify it there's a reason they call these things accidents this was not your fault shared this before but I was walking to seven stroke eleven in the middle of the day on a weekday and took a shortcut across an empty lot in Austin TX a guy jumped out from behind some vegetation and I saw him out of the corner of my eye as he was mid jump he tackled me and was on top of me and hit me a few times and I pulled out my knife and cut him about his chin to his ear he never said anything never asked for anything just jumped on top of me and started hitting he ran off and bled to much before he made it to the hospital was a medic in Afghanistan one of my friends was injured on a patrol he ended up losing everything below his bellybutton I packed all his wounds the best I could I knew he wouldn't last long and then he starts begging for me to kill him we were eight months into our deployment and by then we had already talked contingency plans and I promised him I would I gave him a lot of ketamine like a lot he passed away high as a kite just like he wanted at his funeral I cried my eyes out maybe he could have lived but I'll never know that was four years ago I've dealt with depression anxiety nightmares and have tried to commit suicide four times since I miss him a lot and his mom is so nice I live 30 minutes from her and try to visit twice a month she calls me doc at least you did what he wanted even if you feel awful for it I'd feel at least a tiny bit good that in his last moments he wasn't in an awful amount of pain and died as painlessly as he could nothing exciting but gave order to withdraw life support twice in four years so far I'm still young but attendings say it gets easier I just don't know throw away for privacy I was the chief pilot for the owners of a large company in Florida I was flying long hours because while not the other pilots took vacation because his wife was having a baby at the last stop I rented a car from the throw and stopped for some dinner with my coworker after leaving the restaurant my rental cars door was open though I had locked her before entering the restaurant I ran up to see what was going on and there was a man going through my luggage in the back seat the very first thing I said was that I was calling the cops this caught him off guard because he didn't know I was there he leapt out of the car and said if I pulled out my phone he would kill me although while he was pulling out a point three eight special and held it down waiting for me to react the customers on the patio had noticed what was going on and called the police without either of our knowledge we both stood in silence as we both realized we were in Afric situation he said give me the keys I refused and he started to move his arm before he could even lift his arm all the way to aim at me I managed to remove my springfield XD nine from my Remora holster tucked into my slacks and fired three shots all center-mass he fell back and I took cover behind the car pulling my co-worker who had watched the whole thing unfold the officers arrived about four minutes later and detained me while they investigated the man died three minutes after the police arrived a man took cell phone video from the patio and it was used in the case I was 26 this was last year it haunts me to this day and I will never forget it I was cleared about 6 hours later and returned home following the incident posting this on a throwaway few years ago I was walking home at night after a pub [ __ ] and decided to cut down our alley way to save some time it was freezing that night and I just wanted to be warm when I got jumped by two guys I got hit in the back of the head by a bit of wood and went straight down come to feel one of the guys trying to pull my skirt and tights off I tried fighting but seen he was a lot bigger than me I really struggled I grabbed around and grabbed a beer bottle and smashed it in his face long story short he bled out and died his friend ran off and left him someone called the police found me crying in dead I was arrested questioned soon become very apparent what happened I wasn't never charged all in self defense they never found the second guy and to this day still think about the guy who I killed Frick that guy think more about the cows who used to be your hamburger than that sack of crap I'm a respiratory therapist so when someone says take them off life support or pulling the plug they are typically talking about me for a bit the oddness really struck a nerve families and even patents thanking me I stopped counting at 27 in my first eight months I've done everyone from babies to the elderly it actually hit home last night I was watching scrubs the episode where Laverne dies and they have to go in to say goodbye and I've said goodbye to so many people I work in home care now partially because of it this was about 2004 to 2006 I don't remember the exact year anymore I killed a guy that tried to break into my apartment because he was wanting his wife that he had just beat the crap out of a 2:00 a.m. I hear them arguing I could hear it through my bathroom wall I shut my bathroom then bedroom to drown it out 2:15 a.m. she's banging on my door broken nose left eye swollen and limping from tripping and falling to get out of the apartment told her to go to the bathroom clean herself up then hide in my bedroom husband comes out of the apartment yelling her name and he notices her blood trail to my apartment starts banging on my door yelling to let him in I warned him three times that he doesn't stop I will kill you he kicks the lock on the door door swings open and I swing my baseball bat down onto his head he falls to the ground stunned he lands stomach first and I see a handgun tucked into the back of his shirt I grab it throw it into my apartment and warned him one more time he got up came at me I slam my bat into his stomach then slam my bat over his head one last time which caved his skull in I knew from the blood spatter from when I hit he was dead thankfully the neighbors had called the police when it started and the second he fell to the ground dead police had made it to the top of the steps it never affected me as much as it should have I reacted the best way I could for the situation I was in I don't think about what I did anymore I can't fix the past you've been visited by the good sleep on Curry will be blessed with cozy restful sleeps but only a few comments sleep tight poker if you are new to the channel you can subscribe I publish new videos every day until then check out another video or don't either way have a great day you magnificent people
