Did you just imagine doing something other than what AL did? Seems like "I can't imagine Adrian or someone else in his position not doing exactly the same thing

Did you just imagine doing something other than what AL did? Seems like "I can't imagine Adrian or someone else in his position not doing exactly the same thing" didn't last long :)
- rdl 14y agoI'm not a felon. AL is. As a felon, I would err on the side of reporting criminal contacts. (I personally also have an obligation to report compromises of classified data, too, so I would have reported this.)
- EliRivers 14y agoAnd yet a great, great many convicted felons do not report criminal contacts. I point to the number of convicted felons who go on to commit another felony in company of other criminals. Furthermore, I am led to believe that a culture of physical violence towards informants means that a felon who reports on other criminals is, frankly, asking for trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of felons do not habitually inform on each other.
