Reverse Murder
I find myself watching law school documentaries such as CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Bones, and Psych, and a lot of the endings are a person exclaiming how it was all an accident and as they shook them to make them understand, they fell and split their head on the corner of an IKEA Regissör coffee table.
Then they ran. They were scared. They tried to cover up the murder learning all they could from the same crime documentaries I stated above, but forgot one compelling clue that allows the law to arrest the right person.
What if there were some murders that were decriminalized? I mean the only reason the dumb kid ran after sniveling and watching his girlfriend’ brains ooze on to the IKEA Lobbäk throw rug is the fact that murder is illegal.
Murder leads to:
- Prison time
- Loss of voting rights in most states
- Fines & resitution
- Inability to get a good job
- Heck of a time finding housing
- PTSD from prison
- Making friends on the outside
- Guilt and remorse
- Not feeling any guilt or remorse
Why should trying to make a person understand and shaking that person too hard lead to the same outcome as a gang member killing someone over crack cocaine selling territory?
It shouldn’t. Prison is full of misunderstood people who in turn misunderstood what the right thing to do when blood splattered all over the IKEA Lillången bathroom mirror.
Let’s face it, the police haven’t been the most trustworthy group of law enforcement. They seem like extortion mobsters from pre World War II movies than a fraternity of those who serve to protect. Maybe running out the back door as the body oozes liver blackened blood all over the IKEA Söderhamn sofa is the best decision after all.
Unless we decriminalize these often mistaken murders. They are just slightly less aweful as ye old vehicular manslaughter, so maybe come up with a new crime that lessens the threat of life in prison or the death penalty.
The chance of accidental murder, or reverse murder as I like to call it, of turning a person into a serial killer is 0.00000045%. Most often scenario is regret and complete self-hate.
Lastly, how much tax payer money are we going to spend on crime forensic investigations, equipment, specialists, manpower, and all the other expense trying to solve a crime that if the punishment wasn’t so terrible, could be solved in the first seven minutes of a crime TV show. Hell, the cops could still be standing around the still warm body hemmoraging blood out on to the IKEA Ekerö chair when the person that is guilty says, whoops, I didn’t mean to, but she just didn’t understand, so I shook her, and she fell and busted her head open on the corner of that IKEA Hemnes desk. I am so sorry. Then the cop writes a ticket for $5,000 and calls it a day.
Case closed.
