In reply to the discussion: When the price of individualism is just too high [View all]bobclark86
(1,415 posts)59. You probably shouldn't admit...
to committing a federal offense on the Internet. Failure to report such a crime makes you an accessory, and up for about 10 years in Federal pound-you-in-the-ass prison and a $100,000 for each offense.
"But I shouldn't have to report it! The system is too lax!"
Then you are a lazy fuck who has blood on their hands. Get off your high horse of blaming guns when its the people -- including YOU -- who are the problem. Cops rely on the public to call 911 to prevent and prosecute murder. Is murder not highly regulated?
BTW, killing someone and then taking their property is stealing. It's like killing your mother and then taking her car, not borrowing it to go pick up some milk and eggs for her.
