Would You Take The Reward Money For Turning In A Killer?
November 9th, 2009 | by Frenday |I asked about winning the lottery, but here is a new one. Let’s say you had mounting bills and in dire financial need–would you have to be paid a reward for getting a killer off the street? Not me, not even if I were starving to death. That is “blood” money and someone had to die for it. I would not feel good about myself, but that is my opinion. Everyone feels differently about different things. What would you do?

absolutely not. any money being paid out in connection with a killer Should be paid to the families that have suffered from said killer or maybe ” HELP PAY FOR HIS EXECUTION “

I would turn him in in any case, and would probably take the money depending on the circumstances.

Your not killing the person…. if you knew someone was a killer whether you wanted the money or not it is your responsibility to turn them in…. or maybe you or your family member will be next….. I would for sure of course want to be anonymous because in case they get off… I don’t want them looking for me… but I would bet your reward would be anonymous also. As I said before… if you know for a fact that someone did indeed kill someone…. how could you not live in fear of them being on the street.

I would turn in a killer, but not because of the money. I would take it if it was given, but I would not consider it blood money. That person did not die because you took the money. The money would just be a thank you for getting the killer off of the street.

Why would any sane human have a dilemma turning in a murderer?
Getting paid to do society a favor? Why not?
How would you feel about yourself, if that same murderer killed someone you knew, AFTER you let them go? Still conflicted?
I’d do it for free… with mounting bills, in dire financial need, starving to death, in a box, with a fox…etc.
Are you French?

I would not make it a condition that I receive a financial reward before I would give any information I had in this situation. but if a reward were to be offered, I would not turn it down. That would be just plain silly, in my opinion. The person killed by the killer is already gone, not by my hand, so it is not “blood money” at all.

I certainly wouldn’t hold out and demand reward money to turn them in. If I could turn them in, I would do it, reward or not.
However if reward money was offered I would certainly take it. I suppose you could say people died for that money but by handing the killer in, I may have saved lives.
I see no ethical problem in accepting a reward for potentially saving lives.

Satan’s had his hand on the money long enough.
take the money and if you don’t want it donate all of it to a bible believing church.

Absolutely!!!

Yes, I would take the money. Then I would contact the familty that the person killed and offer them the money. If they say that is okay, You did enough for us by getting the person caught. I then would feel good within myself and use it to what needs to be taken care of.

The “blood” money you refer to is also the same money that people have posted to find closure to a death that directly affected them. That money is also a way to bring out those living in fear of there own lives because the “killer” knows they are a witness. It acts as an incentive to help the unaware search shall we say for the killer where they may not have cared otherwise. People are driven for there own reasons, many my finances unfortunately. Tragedy sells, it saturates the media, not positive things. People are more in tune to something when they feel they can benefit from it. If you find the killer, give the money to the victims family then or to a crimestoppers program in the area.

I agree with you. We recently had this conversation in my family because in California there was a reward out for any information on an arsonist, but no one called in until they raised the reward amount to what people thought would be an acceptable amount for their time. I feel that we all are responsible for the safety of our communities and that if we have information, especially about a murderer, then it is our obligation to help the police. In that way we are protecting our families and communities. You might also get less false reports from people hoping to just be able to make some money.

I would donate the money to an organization that helps individuals escape from domestic abuse. Even if I was in “dire straights”. The truth is, even in the worst of times, there is always someone else out there having a worse time than me.

Heck Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I hope its a big reward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blood money is just that. It should be used to save a life not your own. It should be donated to a charity that gives a chance at life. Homeless shelter, childrens orphanage, to ensure quality of life.

It depends on whom is offering the reward. If it is a law enforcement agency, why not take half, and donate the other half to the victims family. If they decline or not in need, give it to a local non profit that helps victims of crime, sexual assault, or domestic violence, or a program that helps teens to learn that violence is not the answer to lifes negative and angry feelings. Teach the young while they are teachable.

Any upstanding citizen would “do the right thing” and turn in a killer; with or WITHOUT a reward!!! I would accept what you call the “blood” money if offered, because whether I’m in desperate or dire straights, or not (I personally run 50/50 on this score), I’d give the money to my church’s charity fund because our church really does help and assist individuals and families in need!
