How would you react to a gruesomely murdered body?

[Rinkitty 589]

Well, I'd most likely be unsettled quite a bit, but it'd throw something interesting into my humdrum everyday life. Not that I'd want that kind of interesting, mind you.

[Obsolete 681]

I used to see gruesomely murdered bodies all the time. Like, on a daily basis, during my drives to and from university. They're called "roadkill" and they were all over the place. I never had time to react to them since I was usually too preoccupied with not crashing my vehicle, but it's a very sad thing to think about after the fact. Those bodies just lay there in the hot pavement getting their insides roasted by the sun, and we just drive on like it's nothing. How callous we've become.

 

No, I'm not off topic. You didn't specify humans.

Well, I don't expect most people intend to run over small animals on their daily commute (at least, one should hope not) so that's more like "gruesomely manslaughtered"... which is both ironic and literally true.

 

For humans: It depends. If it was someone I knew, I would probably scream, cry and throw up... not necessarily in that order. If it was a stranger, just the screaming and throwing up.

[Virulence 254]

Yeah um, I've never seen a dead body (Unless it was in a casket) before. However, if I see one that looked gruesome, I think I would scream and call the police. I may faint, but only from shock. I guarantee that's what would happen for me.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

To be completely honest it wouldn't be much of a deal for me, I'm sort of the "I don't give a f***" type, I would just call the police and that would be the end of it. Not really, I would most likely call the police but I would probably just stand there frozen or look down at the ground for awhile. I guess you can never be ready for seeing something like that, most likely I would just be in shock but still I'm not sure.

[ChoroChii 284]

I'm not even sure what I'd do in the situation, I'd probably cry to my Mom or something, then have my parents report it to the police.. if I wasn't in too much of a panic. 

[ReverseFaller 2,484]

Having Cataplexy my knees would probably give out on me, as I would be shocked. As my muscles struggled to work out of fear, I would try desperately to get the hell out of there. Once in a safe spot, I'd call the cops. I would then then try to get the horrible image out of my head.

[the_pony_element 5]

This reminds me of the time I spent on liveleak. It's horrible. In person, I would probably freak right the hell out and run away from it. That image would be burned into my psyche for a good long while.

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

Id call the cops, calmly explain what happened, eat a bowl of cornflakes while im waiting for them to arrive, then go in for questioning.... Yadda

[7th Boss 102]

"Oh my GODDDDDDDD!!!!!"

 

Would be my reaction to a situation like this or maybe:

 

"Holy shit!"

 

I dno what would your reply be if you were to see this?

[Glaci 119]

I would most likely get pretty shocked, but I don't think that I would absolutely flip out and break down.

 

I'm okay with gore, I think the issue would be the smell depending on how long the body had been there. Apparently a decaying body is the worst smell ever. But if it was recent I'd probably keep calm and call the police.

[Zygen 6,066]

I'd probably be freaked out, I have a big fear of guts and gore, and i don't think i'd take kindly to some in front of me.

 

I'd probably be shocked, then i'd get paranoid and freaked out, and probaly call 911, and then hide or something till they arrived for fear that the killer finds me aswell.

I wouldn't be calm for sure.

[Dewdlz 938]

Well, I've seen a few bodies in real life, not quite dead though. One was a guy lit on fire from an exploding moped he was driving over some train tracks with. The others were from OD's (family related) but they were pale and looked deathly. Not a good childhood I had, not at all.

 

The majority of bodies I've seen were on the internet, ranging from many methods of death that I'm afraid to list them all. Let's just say I've seen hundreds. Real people. 

 

I basically did this to be able to react better at death. It happened when my mother died, so I was curious what it was like to be cremated (we didn't give her a proper funeral because we were poor). It's not a pretty sight obviously, but I've mentally handled it better. Just in case I decide to join the military, it wouldn't be the first time seeing death if I did see it there. I wouldn't be as prone to breaking down and crying or panicking.

[Dr. Frasier Crane 319]

I honestly have no idea. Admittedly, being a browser of /b/ I've seen a fair few, and don't really react to most of them anymore, but then again I've never actually seen a dead body in real life. It's probably a lot worse.

I saw my grandma pretty close to death though, in fact she died the day after I visited. She looked so ill, it was awful.

I'd probably react the same way I would to seeing one on the internet.....=X .

 

I'll assume I don't know the person. It would feel very uneasy, and much scarier knowing that whatever caused such a thing could probably still be lurking around.

[Nulln 755]

I would run far, far away in case the murderer was still there and wanted to get rid of any witnesses.  then i would call the cops

[iceestarz 5,765]

Poke it with a stick.

 

 

 

I'd probably just run away screaming to be honest

[Lord Bradley 1,319]

Well, that's obvious! Selfie! Ow! Ow! Hey, stop hitting me! He- ...Whoo, good he's gone. Anyway, I would probably look around for a bit, let my mind process what is infront of me, then walk away slowly, and run when out of sight.

[ShadowPirateX 600]

I'd call the police and hope the murderer wasn't nearby.

[Hovershy 3,815]

I would be quite startled but I would immediately call the police. Then I would hide and wait for them to save me from the roaming murderer. 

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

I would throw a pokeball at it and then run far far away to a galaxy unkown.

 

Yes this is how I would react.

[Cyan Rose 4]

I don't even know how I would act.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,359]

I'd be a little shocked, and worried that the murderer might still be around

 

I would probably call the police...

[HDAZ 12]

I would probably faint or go into shock.

Damn you stole my joke! :mrgreen:

 

Honestly I think that I would call the police,feel sad about it for a while,then get it out of my mind and be happy again.
