The Bus Problem 

More interesting than the Trolley problem because A. I'm a genius and B. You have an actual stake in the outcome
Hym "Here is 'The Bus Problem.' (and I think this is analogous to our current political climate) You and 5 other people are on a bus. The driver is headed towards a cliff. You are moving too fast to reasonably attempt to wrestle the wheel from the driver (as any resistance would likely result in you crashing the bus and killing everyone including yourself) You possess a gun and your attempts to reason with the driver have fallen on deaf ears. At what point are you (reasonably) justified in killing the driver to gain control of the bus? How close to the edge to you have to allow him to get before killing him is justifiable? And how much time to you try to spend reasoning with him after the threat of violence fails?"
