...to check the temperature.

They were arrested. And nobody said anything. At least nothing of substance or reality.

They were facing many years in prison.

Then they arrested your friend who was walking nearby for interfering with the duties of Federal officials. And nobody said anything. It had become normal.

Then as you were walking your dog in the park, you were stopped and questioned. What were you doing in the park? You were handcuffed and taken away. You were charged with conspiracy and interfering with law enforcement.

But, nobody came for you. They never expected you to ever be arrested. You were charged with a Federal offense.

Does this sound impossible? Or more real than we care to admit?
