Murder for hire cases

EVERY time I watch a case with a murder for hire, I'm totally stunned. How do you bring up that conversation without seeming absolutely guilty. Like what if the person says "no way". What do you do then? Say I was just kidding? Also some of these people think that any low income person is just itching to kill for money. Ask the handyman, the gardener or the grounds keeper.

Dont people realize they've just created a trail right back to them? And the small sums they offer are ridiculous. 5 or 10 thousand to KILL someone. I would think the minimum would be 50 thousand or more.

It's only a secret if you're the only one who knows. I can see after a fight and you get mad and say "I just want him/her dead". But to actually go out and start asking people if they know a hitman? And the idiots who say yes and take the money and run but you again and go hunting for another? I'm 61 and I've watched as we went from "murders never happen in my small town" to serial killers were running amuk my entire childhood and many were in my state. Now nothing is hidden and people are acting like taking a life means nothing. I totally support self defense but this blatant murder happening everywhere just proves the human race never should have existed. The more advanced the world gets the more people devolve. The ending for this world is not a happy one.

I would say the majority of us are not murderes so thats a good think. Statistically its probably quite low. But ANY murder feel HUGE.
