A guy you do not know very well confesses to you that he murdered someone 30 years ago. He says he feels sorry about it and needed to get it off his chest. Do you...

... pat him on a shoulder and buy him another drink. Then go on Languish to retell this sad, sad story.

... report him to the police.
16 (32.7%)
... lure him away, then exsanguinate him, cut his body into portable pieces that you later dump into the bay inside black plastic bags.

Inspired by the murder thread.

Hint: one of the answers is what normal people do. This being Languish, I suspect it will be the least popular one.

I vote narc the fucker. He will probably in the future regret telling you and since he has used human death before he might get the silly idea to use it again.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

IF he was defending himself from a homosexual predator i'd go buy him a beer.

If he is a sailor who claims not to be interested in gay sex I wouldn't believe his "confession".
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Maybe I would report him. I don't think i would have if some WW2 vet told me a story like that when I was in 10th grade.

Well, you are a German. Pretty much all your WW2 vets are murderers. :P

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Meh, I thought about bringing the difference up in that other thread and decided against it. I am not with Tucholsky ("Soldiers are murderers") on that.

I'd blackmail him into telling me about his time as soldier and learn his dirty tricks.

Then go on a shooting rampage?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Situational.

As someone already brought up.

Did he kill a fag? Buy him a beer.

Did he kill a politician? Buy him a beer.

Did he kill a journalist? Buy him a beer.

Etc. etc.

Who is he, who did he kill and why.
No one answer.
If some git admits it to me for brutally killing some complete stranger then I'm going to the police.
If its my friend and its because he found the guy robbing his house or somesuch then...let it go and hope for the best.

No, the true question is, "What if the victim was gay?"

Personally, what if the murderer was gay and had killed a straight guy for refusing his advances?
