People who say they wouldn’t murder people for food are saints. I would definitely do it. I like living more than I like other people living.
However, I wouldn’t murder anyone in anyone in a modern civilized society. Why not just use social services? And if that doesn’t exist, then steal. Even if you’re caught they’ll be obligated to give you food.
Society needs to devolve to far far below what is the US standard before murder becomes a reasonable solution to food problems.
So you steal and the person tries to murder you. Do you defend yourself? Even a push can knock the person over, hitting their head. Congratulations, you are a murderer.
I think it was pretty clear we were all talking about intentional crimes, not crimes of passion or accident or even negligence.
So unless I know the core of your argument, I’m not sure how to respond to this digression.
