What was your experience with organized crime like?

I had interactions with members of the terrorist organisation ISIS - they were surprisingly friendly even after I told them that I was not going to join Islam or their organisation. They also wanted to teach me arabic.

What was the context ?

Wow thats a cool story, thanks!

Sounds like a pleasant experience lol

Well that's all spooky

That's pleasant

Lmao what a pain in the ass thing to steal.

It was a mixed bag TBH - that girlfriend was very abusive, and sometimes when I received a work request is was heavily implied that it would be a bad idea to turn it down ... though I never had any trouble from any of those clients.

I ended up with a drug problem - at least a couple of codene and a dab of speed before my feet hit the floor getting out if bed, and then more stuff through the day. My kidneys are pretty fucked.

But, the positive experiences were very positive, and I gained a lot of life experience which still comes in handy to this day :-)

You laugh, but that guy and his associates had all the equipment and then some to do such things. And apparently, snitches didn't get stitches, they got a hole through the gut, tied to a cinder block, and thrown off a bridge..

That's the only reason dude got caught, one of the bodies got thrown into a shallow area and the next day the tide went low and was clearly visible to people that like to fish under that bridge.

Stop retiring there

Anyone who grows up thinking that two - or more - consenting adults can’t live or love together is a(nother) victim of that (in the legal sense only) “crime”.

Ah, but then they're a victim of the illegitimate criminalisation of LGBT relationships, not the victims of the LGBT relationship itself. Meaning the crime has no victims, the law has victims.

Where I currently live there is an old and much copied legal system but I’m not really qualified to think about nor answer your second question.

Sure you are, don't put yourself down like that. All citizens living under a law should have their say in the justness of that law.

Yiiiikes

but it was otherwise just an informal business relationship with occasional blowjobs.

Blowjobs from whom? Hopefully they weren't also dealing in human trafficking...

timer that I’d just started to roll with told me this: “There’s no such thing as victimless crime -

The only victims of the crime of cannabis possession are the people who get arrested for it.

I worked for about a year with the son of a former mob boss from a big American city.

Had to google the name as it wasn't notorious or well known. Turns out he was one of the better bosses, and was known for keeping the peace and having a low profile.

Still think he went to prison though
