I would go after the most disgusting people ever (serial rapist, child molesters, those who hurt animals, etc) and shoot them all dead. I guess that is worth committing a crime if that was legal.

^That made me laugh out loud.

Some of you are so vindictive. I guess the lesson here is that I was completely wrong in thinking that our own individual principles align quite neatly with the law.

I agree. I have no grudges against anyone and besides, I'm too old, tired and lazy to even think about going out and doing illegal stuff. BUT I think I would stay home that day and not poke my head outside!! lol

I will lock myself in the house, turn off all the lights so they think I am out, watch cartoon marathon such as "Hey Arnold" and "the wild thornberry" while eating cheetos puffs. I would also take "the day off" to clean my bathtub - its disgusting but I am way too lazy to clean it.

I'd stay home. The other drivers on the road would be too dangerous, what with running stop signs and such.

There wouldn't be a lot of money to steal. Banks and stores would be locked up for the day, with armed guards who would happily shoot any looters because it would be legal.

I don't think there would be much increase in crime. The majority of people are not criminals. There would be some crime of opportunity, but the opportunities would be securely locked up for the day.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were riots in the sort of neighborhoods where the residents are prone to riot and loot.

This is sort of like the argument theists make about atheists: if there were no god people would just rape and kill anyone they want.

I've already raped and killed everyone I will ever want to rape and kill. The number is zero.
