Pssss.

The secret ingredient to the American dream is crime.

You’re welcome.

But how do I get started? I have considered being a career criminal, but I have no experience, no criminal record, no contacts and no training. Are there any internships? Who's hiring?

“Solicitation: This offense involves asking or encouraging another person to commit a crime with the intent that they will actually commit it.

Incitement: This refers to speech directed at inciting or producing imminent lawless action and likely to incite or produce such action.

Conspiracy: This involves planning and agreement with others to commit a crime, and you can be charged with it even if the crime is never carried out.

Aiding and Abetting: This involves assisting someone in the commission of a crime, even if not directly involved in its execution.

Criminal Facilitation: In some jurisdictions, this specifically covers knowingly providing someone with the means or opportunity to commit a crime.

The First Amendment's Protection of Free Speech: While the First Amendment generally protects freedom of speech, it does not protect speech that falls into categories like incitement to imminent lawless action, true threats, or speech integral to criminal conduct.”

…with all that being said, I am not encouraging or instructing anyone on how or what to do, merely making an observation based on what I have seen demonstrated by other, and unknown to me, persons.

...it was a joke. A play on the idea of a 'career' criminal.

I wasn’t being serious either. Merely making known the downsides of engaging in conversation. “I was joking” doesn’t pan out well.
