So, if I were arrested or if I were killed, then after me the issues that American fears about me wouldn't exist anymore - and I couldn't tell you what those issues are.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Crime and the fear of crime have permeated the fabric of American life.
I was trying to talk about where we are right now as a society, and talk about the fear we all live in, and certainly since 9-11, how it's affected us and the world.
After I was assaulted in Egypt, I learned fear. I've just never been so scared in my life. I've never been so close to death.
I'm not afraid of you being yourself. That's America.
Americans' great and secret fear is that America may turn out to be a phenomenon rather than a civilization.
There's a deep-seated paranoia that Americans have about not being Americans or something.
You're not supposed to risk your life just for the physical safety of American citizens - you're supposed to risk your life for American ideals as well.
There is not one single police officer in America that I am not afraid of and not one that I would trust to tell the truth or obey the laws they are sworn to uphold. I do not believe they protect me in any way.
If I had to say something to Americans, being afraid and having fear, it's okay to be fearful because that will make you strong; being afraid will shut you down.
The first case I sat on... was Citizens United. Talk about being thrown in. Needless to say, if I was scared before, I was terrified.
