[what would you doif your friend admitted he is a serial killer ]
Get a lot of detail from them, look at the papers/online to see if it's true, and see if there's any reward offered.
If there's a reward, I'll do my civic duty and report them with name and details to the cops. I'll take the reward money! That, and in my state, there is no death sentence, so I can visit them in prison.
If there's no reward, let them continue and play dumb to the cops - just make them promise not to kill people I'm dating, friends, and/or my family members.

I'm getting the distinct feeling that I have a very different concept of family, friends, and morality from a growing number of people and the more I find out what these things mean to them the more I begin to fear humanity. And considering my personal experience with family, fair-weather friends, and perpetually questioning my own character that says a lot.
Wow, this is even worse then the guy who said he would help the friend hide it. Atleast that person was capable of caring about a friend, even if it was still pretty horrible. This person just utterly lacks empathy if he would just base his decision on reward money.
No Randumb , you are the killers.
And then Cashedin was a life-term zombie.
...because I reported you to the cops. Just the mere satisfaction that an inferior subhuman like you was behind bars permanently is reward enough for me.
Interesting question... I can't imagine confiding to someone that I'm a serial killer unless either
1) I was recruiting them to help
2) it's too late for them to escape
It's kind of telling that Random has the idea that he's the kind of person whose friends would confide this to him... Either he sees himself as a likely accomplice or his friends as likely killers.
And no matter what, the fact that he'd inquire about a reward before turning them in says far too much.
OK, now this is fucked up in a few different ways at the same time.
If there's a reward, I'll do my civic duty
No, it's not "doing your civic duty" if you're only doing it for a reward. And, that makes me wonder if this person would turn their "friend" in for money if they confessed to something less than murder. Where exactly do you draw the line....but maybe that's a discussion in itself.
just make them promise not to kill people I'm dating, friends, and/or my family members.
You're gonna trust the word of an admitted serial killer??

I think you forgot one:
3) You were a fictional villain explaining all your crimes to the hero before he inevitably escapes and turns you in. ;-)
@KingOfRhye
Meh.
Every time that happens, either the villain thinks the undercover cop is sympathetic and can be recruited, or he thinks he's trapped Agent Bond so well that he cannot escape. So 3) is just a prolix 1) or 2).
Either way, even fictional villains don't reveal to someone who has the leisure to look up the crimes on the internet and then decide if the reward outweighs the friendship...
My dear Mother is deceased, but if I thought she was a thrill killer, I would not have hesitated to call the police. take it as you will. And, in any case she wouldn't have done any such thing.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
