I can imagine quite a few. Does it have to be something we know how to do, or do we also get the means and opportunity to carry it out successfully? (For example, I’d like to somehow steal a fortune from some unlikable multi-billionaire, but I don’t actually know how to do that.)
Oh, and is it just one time we can get away with it, or could we choose to repeatedly break one law?
Hacking a bank to enrich myself by billions of dollars.
Abducting billionaires and holding them for ransom.
Becoming an international paid assassin of high profile politicians and business magnates.
You know, victimless yet lucrative crimes.
Lets say it’s like the PURGE you have 24 hours.
Murder. But those two guys are already dead. (Not that I had anything to do with it…)
Also, I have this three strikes rule thing. Every time some other driver makes an illegal move in traffic, I put one bullet through the back of his/her car. If there are already three holes in the back of the car, I shoot the driver. There have been times when I could shoot the three holes and the driver IN THE SAME TIME FRAME! Talk about a bad driver!
Yeah, I was thinking along @ragingloli‘s lines, too, if we could manage such things.
I would hold one person against their will until I received an answer to an important question.
I’d pull a ritzy hotel heist like one I saw described on TV recently. They got away with millions in jewelry and cash and none of the captives were injured. The leader of the gang even put a $20 bill in each of their pockets before they made their get away!
My criminal energy these days is focussed mostly on
1) re-distributing wealth in a manner that is not dreamed up by a handful of heartless and selfish jerks
2) freeing “edible” animals that are stewing in their waste, drugged up and mutilating themselves
3) destruction of weapons/interrupting wars/interrupting environmental disasters such as fracking
I know I wouldn’t be able to murder anyone, but I know I’d want some leaders murdered, in theory.
And I’d probably egg my former landlord’s house.
Two homicides, each preceeded by torture. Too bad I have to be done in such a short time.
Theft, but not by the means some want to employ. I think a simple heist somewhere.
Rape. Anybody know where Vin Diesel lives?
I’ve already broken every law I intended to break and didn’t get caught. Drinking underage, rail hopping, stole a candy bar once at age 12 or so just for the rush of not getting caught, a few more I care not to reveal here. Repented since, now try not to break any laws including traffic speed and not spitting watermelon seeds on the sidewalk.
I got arrested last month, released the next day.
@Forever_Free Come on you can tell, I won’t say a thing. ;)
I don’t know that one, @nomore?
@Dig_Dug I can hear Sammy Davis Jr. Singing “EO Eleven” .
Law of Gravity – - everything floats !
Insider trading—It has served Congress well for many years. Not hard to make money when you know what’s about to happen before anyone else does and you’re allowed to trade on that info…
^^ Nice to be able to play both sides of the field!
Not touching this one. I only admit to things I have already done. That way there’s no evidence of intent…
Come to think of it. I do not recall EVER breaking the law…..
Shame on the rest of you, for even considering it…
Lots of people know of my desire to kill a particular man, and why. I’ve even had offers from a few to do it for me, but no. If he gets offed, I want to use my bare hands. I hate him enough I want to feel his life flow away between my fingers. I want to see his eyes go dull. I want him to see it is me, taking all from him. I want to be the reason he doesn’t waste any more oxygen.
He stole every last thing I owned, even my purse. I haven’t one single photograph. He took my electronics, including the laptop which contained four novels and several shorts I have to rewrite. He even got my mobility scooter, my clothes, everything.
He was hired to move me out of state. When everything was loaded, he sneaked my purse out the back door then made an excuse to leave for a bit. He never came back.
Everything which defined who I am, physically, intellectually, emotionally, is gone.
Just give me a pass, and I would have no qualms.
I used to feel this way about someone, I’m glad I don’t now.
I would combine all the secrets and patents to make super products. From cars to doughnuts. Also some super cool crossover marvel, DC , video games, and movies
I also would write an alternative version of Harry Potter where he graduates.
I would call West Edmonton Malls amusement park “Galaxy Land”, back to the original, “Fantasy Land”.
Laws in every state that criminalize supporting or assisting women seeking medically safe termination of pregnancy.
But, I’d probably do it even if I couldn’t get away with it – Because fuck politicians who preach “small government” and then push laws, police, and judges into bedrooms and wombs.
Amen and give me a Hallelujah Sister @JLoon !
I have broken (and would again) the laws against buying selling and/or possessing cannabis.
