If me and a bunch of my lemmy friends got on a yacht. Went into international waters what could we get away with legally and what would still be illegal? - eviltoast

    Sure there are. Like in some countries “honor killings” are legal, but that’s called murder in the US

      I suppose it depends on where you want to draw the line, even in the US some states have mutual combatant laws where, if you get in a fight with someone and they die, they kinda might not consider it murder. Probably at the mercy of prosecutors/juries I guess but technically it’s a real thing in at least 2 states.
