People Who Have Killed People, What Happened? (r/AskReddit)

read it as anyone here actually killed another human being what was it like serious I work for the railroad I've killed three people in my 12 years on the rail two were suicides that didn't really bother me the one that really got me though was hitting a family after crossing right before Christmas the roads were icy and they couldn't get stopped in time my train hit the car dead center on the passenger side killing the mother instantly it spun them around and flipped the car off the tracks the two kids in the dad walked away with minor injuries I was an engineer for over 30 years hit 13 cars but never killed anyone in a car I did run over a guy who committed suicide he laid his head on the rail we were going 60 miles per hour could not start 14 years ago I twelve years old was riding a bike in the park with friends a buddy of mine challenged me to a game of chicken we were to ride directly towards the street and first to chickened out and not cross lost as I was approaching the street I slammed the brakes before the curb and a car was coming around the bend who swept because he thought I was going into the street it was an old man who hit a pole into a civilian jerd the car was about to catch fire so my friend and I removed him from the vehicle he told the cops it wasn't my fault that he swerved because he thought I was going to cross the street but that I was stopped the man died the next day in the hospital it still shakes me up a bit to realize I caused that because of a stupid game with a friend I never rode a bike again until last year a few years ago I was driving home from work in a snowstorm the trip from work to home was about 54 kms it was about 1030 p.m. and probably about minus 40 with the wind a man stepped out onto the road in front of me he was outside my headlight ranged but I managed to catch the glint of something years of driving that road I learned to react quickly to little things deer or other animals dies reflects light I managed to skill and slid to a stop only lightly bumping him as he didn't move he got into the car smelling strongly of boozing through the slurs he told me thst he needed to get to loyd Minister a city about an hour's drive from my location I told him I wasn't driving to the city but I would drop him off at the bar motel in the little town I lived close by call Chauvin I did and along the way he told me he needed to see his daughter and it couldn't wait no idea why but he was clearly drunk and freezing so I just agreed I left him at he bar which he went into and drove home several days later I learned that he had gone back out shortly after and froze to death on the side of the road he was trying to get to the city to see his daughter in the hospital she died the day he did it wasn't really my fault but I feel like I should have at least talked to the people in the bar before I went home I just wanted to get home as soon as possible cause the weather was getting worse I'm a respiratory therapist we are the ones who take people off life support it's not for everyone fine directly killed my mom to shorten it when I was 11 my mom became sick and it led to her begin bedridden I was the only one to take care of her and I did I walked to the grocery helped her to the bathroom and helped her with everything I would wake up make her and I breakfast make her lunch and store some drinks in a cooler next to her bed go to school come straight home and help her to the bathroom make dinner homework rinse repeat this went on until I was 18 at the time we were living in my dad's extra house but his new wife didn't like his ex-wife living in a home of his so he was evicting us I took my mom to the doctor and he basically told her she'd be like this for the rest of her life and would need someone to take care of her the next week my grandma my dad's mom had a stroke and was in the hospital my dad called me and I was getting my mom ready to go see her and my dad told me not to bring her that Hannah name changed doesn't want my mom there this broke my mom's heart she knew my grandma after 40 plus years she was crying and yelling and I was crying and stressed the cause of college my grandma my mom my dad everyone so I yelled at my mom I don't remember what I said exactly but I remember yelling just get over it and I left for the hospital I came back a few hours later and found my mom in her room she had shot her just like that my whole world in life I had known was gone not a day goes by that I don't blame myself for being the final nail in my mom's coffin the only thing to make it all worse was a cleanup crew was too expensive so I cleaned up the aftermath on my own nobody expects to be 18 and cleaning parts off their mom's brain off their bed I ran over someone with my car I was with my family going Christmas shopping when I was 16 I was driving we were on the interstate in a pretty high-traffic area I remember seeing someone falls from the car next to us I'll never forget the thud the car made as we hit another person at 70 plus mph as it turns out he had actually stepped in front of another car and they knocked him into my lane and all that it really makes a difference but he was probably already gone before I hit him not the ideal Christmas shopping experience that's too heavy for a 16 year old I'm sorry that happened to you although it's not murder I didn't return my best friend's call the 90 overdosed and died but sometimes I feel if I answered and we hung out I could have prevented the chain of events that occurred sadly addiction is a powerful entity not sure if you're counting war at the time when it happened I was overcome with mixed emotions I was happy because I was part of the club the first group of people my team killed were an Iraqi motor team and they were actively shelling the base I lived on which was the same base my brother was on so the incentive to kill them was absolutely present it didn't really start to process until maybe five months later I started to sit around smoking my hooker and thinking about that day remembering what they looked like when I was staring down at their contorted faces with their brains hanging out hills and their neck dried blood everywhere then thinking of what they looked like on their it pictures it was very hard for me to process because we had lost so many people I felt split between satisfaction in knowing I put a huge dent in their manpower and ability to attack us but at the same time I kept thinking about how everyone there came from a family had a mother and was at one point a helpless child who just wanted to live and find its place in the world I had just had my first son while I was deployed if you can't tell by all the mo she any stuff during this time in my life I was also absolutely convinced I was going to die there so I spent every downtime I had sitting around contemplating what it will be like when I'm no longer self aware because I don't exist what it will be like to not know I'm here have no emotions just gone the thought that I scratched someone off from existence into oblivion is the hardest part dead on at some point everyone was innocent circumstances put em on the wrong side off a hopeless conflict but it is hard to not see them in the end as just people hardest part for me is to visualize those guys having kids who think their dad is invincible when he doesn't come home it shatters that illusion I really just have to get this off my chest don't really have anyone to talk to this about but this August I was involved in a car accident where a pedestrian ran out in front of my car and died it is honestly one of the most devastating things that has happened to me there are things about that night that I will never forget like the sound of my car impacting with him or just all the glass that was everywhere I will forever remember that man's name and that on the 8th of August at 9:29 p.m. I killed him the worst part about it is the first time you remember every day that you were responsible for another person's death your heart just sinks down into your stomach people try and tell me that it was not my fault and I did everything I could but that doesn't help me at all all I think about is if I wasn't driving he would still be alive I'm also really paranoid about people crossing the street not at a crosswalk every time I see if I have like a little mini panic attack inside my brain so yeah basically it sucks it sucks a lot and it's something that you will never forget my cousin killed herself a few years ago by stepping out in front of a car on the highway and it may sound weird but I can't help but think about where the guy girl at hitter is now and how they were affected by it it always makes me think about how one day can change your entire life mine was through decision but I felt as though I had personally done the deed freshman year of college a bunch of friends and I had planned on going out camping for Memorial Day weekend at the last minute I changed the plans on us to go swimming and staying at my family's lake house instead because beb's and TV and stuff first night and it in the water we decided to swim out to the middle of the lake and just tread water and laugh and splash around after a while we all swam back to the dock and I was second-to-last in front of Tommy Tommy never got out I dove back in but couldn't find him anywhere we had no phone in the cabin so after I ran back up the hill I ran barefoot down the gravel road to the main road then to the nearest neighbor's house hysterical they called the police and then at the end divers found him about 12 feet from the end of the dock I blamed myself horribly for the change of our plans i sat through the funeral nom ly while his parents lied to me about how much he looked forward for weeks to the swimming trip I stopped going to my honors classes and drank and smoked myself into an opium stupor for the rest of the semester and failed out of college I kept abusing myself for two years until I finally got myself some help with my depression over it I was 13 and home alone with my little sister and heard glass breaking at the back door then the knob rattling then the door squeaking I got my sister and we ran into my dad's office I grabbed his rifle from the shelf and told her to hide under the desk I stood in front of her and aimed the gun at the hallway I heard footsteps coming this way and a man I didn't recognize came around the corner I pulled the trigger and everything that happened next is still a blur apparently I kept shooting until the magazine was empty hitting the intruder 22 times he had multiple warrants out for his arrest for drugs beating his girlfriend and a string of convenience store robberies I lost a lot of sleep worrying it would happen again and I still go into panic mode if I hear a suspicious noise I absolutely cannot relax or go back to sleep until I search the house you may have saved your little sister and even yourself who knows how fricked in the head that guy was when I was in third grade my next-door neighbor came to pick me up from school because my grandmother couldn't make it in time to pick me up while we were heading to the car I stepped in front of him and a strap from the back of my book bag it was a rolling one tripped him up and he broke his knee he had to go to the hospital to get surgery and the doctors ended up using an anesthetic that he was allergic to and passed away his wife very clearly told doctors not to use this certain anesthetic but they went ahead anyways after his death she became very depressed and died a few years later due to cancer she wouldn't leave the house and I feel like I caused both of their deaths they were such good people and I know they really cared for me also his wife could have sued the doctors but she decided not to because she didn't want to ruin the doctors career but doctors and cancers fault not yours you broke his knee by a completely understandable and forgivable accident the doctor killed him by being stubborn and careless my wife was eight months pregnant and she felt like she couldn't breathe so we go to the hospital and her blood pressure is through the roof the doctors say that our baby's vitals aren't doing good and we need to do an emergency c-section so as she is prepping for the surgery the doctor says we have a better chance to save the baby if we give her medication and waits to do the surgery to give the medication time to work on the baby the downside is that my wife's heart function was at 20% at this point and if we postponed the surgery for any amount of time her chance of surviving the surgery dropped so the doctor asked what we wanted my wife looked at me and I could see she was terrified so without hesitation and tears in my eyes I said save my wife this was the easiest and hardest decision of my life I would have done the same exact thing when my wife went in for her c-section I was hysterical I just wanted to see her I'd never been more scared in my entire life I'm sorry you never got to meet your daughter I'm grateful you get to have your wife I was 18 years old and had just received my driver's license fairly recently so I was looking for any excuse to drive so I jumped on the opportunity to run out and get cat food from the store even if it was 11 p.m. where my parents lived it was out in the country so there weren't many streetlights sir you relied on your headlights I was coming home and was doing 60 in a 55 and coming over a little hill when suddenly in front of me I see a guy standing in the lane and all the dark clothes just looking at me I didn't have time to react and I hit him head-on he rolled off the van and I lost control I think because the airbag deployed or because maybe I had jerked the steering wheel and went off into the woods on the left side and rolled down the hill taking out trees and everything the van did its job luckily and protected me from dying but I got really banged up cut up and a mild concussion I lost consciousness for a moment AMD when I came to I was at the bottom of this little hill and had to climb on all fours up the hill I flagged down the first car I saw and luckily they stopped in cold 9-1-1 unfortunately the guy died on scene and no one could figure out why he was standing in the street I was of course hysterical and felt so guilty it took me a long time to even want to get behind the wheel again and even longer to want to drive at night it was a process of fighting through it for me I had some PTSD from the incident and would have the dream over and over again where I would see him for the split second and would wake up terrified it was so close to my parents house that I had to drive by it every day and would get chills even going back to visit them I see the scene and get chills when I did finally drive at night I would be overly cautious and would sometimes see something in the road and would freak out 11 years later I leaned over the trauma and can drive just fine but I still remember it honestly it sounds like he was trying to commit suicide a really crappy way to do it by dragging someone innocent into it but definitely sounds like suicide to me my dad he had leukemia and was in an induced coma and his organs were starting to fail and get infected and I just couldn't see him like that but he wouldn't have wanted it I know he didn't I had to sign a document where the last mine literally said if the machines are turned off he will die and I accept this responsibility I signed it I had to couldn't bear to see him suffering love you dad miss you I did in self-defense when I was 13 this guy up had me and I think he was going to try to kill me and I ended up stabbing him there was a whole trial and whatnot I felt bad that he died but I don't feel bad for defending myself just think you killing him could have saved many other women from going through what you did my son had just been born a few days before and I had taken some time off for work to be at home we'd gotten some snow that I didn't bother to clear and I didn't even check the mail just hung around the house enjoying life as a new parent with my wife and our baby at about 3 a.m. my son woke up I had just finished changing his diaper and my wife was feeding him when I heard someone pry the back door open the police said that he probably assumed the house was empty because of the snow and the drive and a few days of mail in the box I loaded my handgun and waited near the top of our stairs in the dark hoping that he would just steal the TV or something from the first floor and leave but he didn't when he got halfway up the stairs I turned on the light mounted on my gun and yelled at him to leave he must have thought that I was just holding a flashlight because he looked right at me and climbed up two more steps all I remember seeing was the pry bar he used to get through the door in his hand the thought of what he might do with it to my wife and child terrified me I shot him twice square in the chest and I'll never forget the look on his face it was like he was surprised at first then horror when he looked down and saw the bleeding I remember taking the first shot in thinking that I missed because he just froze there after the second was when I could clearly see the bleeding it can't have been more than a second between the two but it felt like forever he tried to run away it only got a few steps before he fell down and I assume went into shock that man pleaded for help and begged me not to kill him I remember sitting on the top step with the gun still aimed at him and just sat there shaking and watched a man bleed out halfway down my staircase I have no idea how long he he lived it's felt like hours but my wife tells me that the police were at our house in 10 minutes the police said that they had been several burglaries in our town recently in that I did the right thing I grew up hunting and target shooting for fun but never expected to shoot a person I kind of feel bad that I don't have any guilt about it but every time I think about that night I instantly switch from thinking about the guy who invaded my home to being glad that my family wasn't hurt the worst part is that now any little noise it's night as it's both awake I've had an alarm installed and got a dog but still have trouble sleeping this is the dog our good health it only appears once in 1.23 two millenniums subscribed it up do
