Nobody is responsible for a murder except the person who did the killing. And it must be so, otherwise we will go down the thoughtcrime path.

- nulld3v 3y agoWhat if I hire a hitman? Is only the hitman responsible?
- bheadmaster 3y agoHiring a hitman is not that different from using a gun yourself, it's just that a gun is not a human and cannot be responsible. So yeah, you're both resposible. Hitman most likely more, but ordering a hit is also a murder.
- noduerme 3y agoBut if you just say to someone that they should kill someone, as long as money doesn't change hands, you have no share of responsibility?
- bheadmaster 3y agoYes.

- Devasta 3y agoSo if a general orders an airstrike on a target, he has not gotten anyone killed?
- bheadmaster 3y agoYes, he has, because there is a top-down command hierarchy in the army, and soldiers get punished if they refuse orders. They are basically just tools of the general. But in case where one has killed by his own volition (not being under direct order), the motivation is irrelevant.
