I want to do this because they have pissed me off and this is my best bet, but I don’t want to get in trouble for trespassing. If I did this, would the problem be trespassing or something else?

What if I were to burn the cross in a different (but still visible) location? Like on public property or alongside rode? What would I be looking at once I got caught (as I know I’ll be caught).

Yes. Quite a bit. Also, there’s a good chance this posting will be one of the exhibits, helping to solidify that it was you that did it and establish that you were doing it specifically directed at them and because “they have pissed me off” which should help in upgrading it from arson to some sort of terroristic threat type of charge.

What about putting garage sticker dots on their cars?

All of this is dumb stuff to go to prison for. I’m also a little bit skeptical, since you claim that all three entities have pissed you off even though they are very different and it’s very rare for the CIA to piss off any private individual inside the US. But regardless I don’t want to be entwined in your exhibits beyond just being involved for long enough to tell you this is a very bad idea.

Understood. Thanks for your helpful reply.

Police don't give a shit about the law, you are absolutely getting yourself into trouble doing something like this whether they have a law for it or not. Talk to a lawyer, maybe talk to several lawyers, before doing something like this.

I have to do SOMETHING. I just can’t figure out what, and I want to avoid legal trouble.

The best action is collective, work with your local community - maybe identify something that would really piss off the police but help the local community - you can't be arrested for helping fund a local Black Lives Matter group, or helping run a campaign to displace the local sheriff in an election, for helping getting better resources for public defenders or local probono lawyers who do criminal defense, and so on - get creative and local, and work with others to make a bigger impact. Try to keep it positive, to improve the situation for yourself and others.

How about just be a responsible person?

Vinegar and a water soaker can go a long way...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Ive got some big fucking problems. I can’t even help this wacky shit I think up.

Do you mean vinegar and water inside of a big ass water gun, and then shoot them with it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes. Mix some salt with it too.

Metals and electronics do not like vinegar/salt...

Could I get in legal trouble for that? Honestly it sounds like fun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You take your own responsibility in life...

Put it this way, IDGAF!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Holy moly! I just said it sounded like fun! I liked your idea!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

DO NOT use anything to "shoot" anyone. You easily could be killed.

Take a time out. Read about better options.
