    if ( getControlState ( thePlayer, key ) ) then        -- if they're pressing the fire key
        outputChatBox ( "Violence will not be tolerated!", thePlayer )
        killPed ( thePlayer )                          -- kill them
    else                                                  -- otherwise..
