During the period of house arrest, I had an electronic manacle around my leg for 24 hours a day, and for someone who has tried to give others liberty all their adult life, that is absolutely intolerable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Growing up, I think I was arrested 20-odd times by the Boston police. The good news is that I've been able to use those experiences in a lot of my roles, and that has been a blessing.
I do think there are certain times we should infringe on your freedom.
I, for one, will remain constantly vigilant of a government that admits its transgressions of liberty only when they are caught lying.
I see people detained for simple INS violations.
I've been arrested many times for illegal high wire walking and illegal street performing.
It's dangerous to write people off just because they've been arrested.
As wild as I was, when the cops show up, and suddenly you're being handcuffed, it's so deeply shocking and terrifying, the loss of freedom.
Most people have kind of done something that could put them in jail at least for one night.
When I was in jail, I was a lot of people's favorite person. I practically ran the jail. I had more freedom than the police.
I've never been arrested in my life. Never had cuffs put on me, never been charged with a crime, never spent one day in jail.
