Looking for stories of times you interacted with a criminal organization in any capacity. Were/are there any infamous locals frequently talked about in your area (please don't dox yourself). Please give a genuine answer not a political stance. The only one I think I've had was a story I've told here before about having met an Aryan brotherhood guy when I was 12ish.

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”.

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.

    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.

    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.

    The “crime” only exists because of the law; so a person coaxed to bigotry from a young age would still be a(nother) victim of said “crime.”

    But this is just an opinion, from me. It’s fine to not agree; in fact it’s good.
