There is a good chance that I will be arrested.

Somethings I would go to jail for if I believed in them strongly enough, others not. Pick your battles, they say, and it would have to be a very important one. Something happening to you? Or just a theoretical question?

That is terrible. I live in the United States also. the laws are so corrupted here. We do not get rewarded alot of times for doing the right thing. They would rather punish us for it.

What have ya done if anything so far? Why would they shoot you?

We are free-er than most--or so they tell us. Still "the right thing"--however you define "right"--morals, ethics, spiritual or religious ethics, even common law--all of these things are grossly distorted and/or outright oppressed by our authoritatarian governmental corporacracy. As I said in another post, my prayers are with you. DR...

Does that happen in your beautiful America, the land of the golden opportunities? I thought it only happen to third world countries where the man-made laws are very bias and against the rule of man. No one in their right mind would go handcuffing people who do no wrong, at least not in my thoughts. But we live in imperfect society. We are all imperfect individuals. There is no excuse for us not to try to be law abiding citizens, to do what is right and avoid what is wrong. To know when we are right or wrong we need a mirror. The critic holds up the mirror so we may see ourselves, warts and all. What you think right may not seem right to others. Convincing others take time and patience, which we all do not always have. There is no known laws that gives free reign to persecute another without trail. Nations without proper system or loop-sided laws will only end in having her citizens becoming barbaric and chaotic, not in American soil for sure. It is not the law that is to be blamed but the enforcement of the law that creates the problems.

Well I hope you don't go to jail..I won"t ask what you did. You are right about our rights..More and more are being taken away from us..I don't think they will shoot you no matter what you did unless of course you was shooting at them..

Well, I sure hope that you do not go to jail. I would go to jail for somethin that I believe in. I too am from the US and I know how backwards our system is. You have to prove you are innocent when you go to jail. It's not like they say it is, you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent. If the men of law choose to pick "you" as the bad person even though you are notm then you certainly have a problem. You will go broke and go into debt to prove that you are innocent, which is a shame. People have lost everything even their reputation, friends, family, etc. because of how our system works.

I'm a firm believer in, right is right and wrong is wrong and that there's no way around that fact so yes, I will go to jail for the right reasons. I don't want to, but there again, who does but yes, I will go to jail for standing up for right and not for the wrong.

Whatever your cause, I hope it is worth it; following one's conscience is usually the right way to go. When the moment comes, put on your spiritual armor and be safe. I wish you well.

Hi Gary, Please stay out of trouble, then you won't get arrested, but keep writing and one day it will come in useful, take care. Tamara

Depends. What are you doing that could get you arrested, lol?

Depends what your "right thing" is? Whether it involves murder, then I would say "you're gonna get shot". But if is simply a matter of speaking out against injustice, well, you might get a peashooter in the butt.

What have you done? I hate it when innocent people got arrested for being accused of what they haven't done and end up in prison for a long time. Years past then found out that he/she is guilty. I think the government should be blame for this.

Wow...I really hope everything works out for you. I am so sorry to hear of your situation, even though I'm not sure of its entirety. I would gladly go to jail if I were doing something I whole-heartedly believed was right and got arrested. The majority is not always right, and we do not change the majority's wrongs by sitting by quietly. I don't necessarily believe in testing the system, but I certainly don't believe in letting myself be pulled on a leash if something means so much to me. Like the people who do not pay taxes because taxes are not legal...one could argue that is wrong because everyone else is doing it even though there is not a law (that I know of currently) that says government can take income taxes. But I can't blame them...they feel strongly about it and take the risks. I admire their ability to do that. Personally, income taxes do not take a chunk of money from me to where my finances are impaired, so I am not as angry over this. I think some laws truly are for the benefit of people...some simply aren't at all. Some laws should be changed because of rights that they infringe upon or other reasons...and some people will go to extremes to put that in the spotlight. Again, I really feel for you in this situation. I'm not sure what you were fighting for or doing that you may be arrested for, but if you believe fully in what you did, do not let up and give in. I wish you the best of luck.

It depends upon the perspective that one looks at the law from. Every word can be interpreted in a number of ways. Also, something that seems right from your perspective needn't be so from the general consensus of the law of the land when taking the good of the majority into account. As far as freedom is concerned, I think any repercussions against you by any lawman would be to uphold the law for the general public by that lawman, unless he/she has a personal agenda.... I wish you all the best and hope that you get out of the tight corner if you are really right....
