I was thinking about this question, and it occured to me that the word 'know' should be defined before you make your decision.

What I mean is, what if it kills the old man who walks up the street to get his paper every day and gives you a wave as he goes by? You don't really 'know' him, but you do sort of 'know' him in a way, but not in any meaningful way.

So, are the people you see on the street safe, or are they fair game?
