    Why do you assume everyone wanting to do this vigilante thing will do that?

    So, you ever had a job in law enforcement of any kind?

    I’ve played this game before. If I say no, you’ll just claim I’m lying about it.

    And it’s really silly to assume someone works or ever worked in law enforcement because they have seen a lot of vigilantes attack or kill the wrong person. Believe it or not, I just think that’s why vigilantism is a bad thing. You make a lot of silly assumptions.

    But sure, I was totally in law enforcement.

    Obviously this is an invented persona covering up my undercover police activites. Me and James Acaster. Curses, you found me out! I’m going to have to go back to the station and get a new mustache now.

      So were you ever or are you now in law enforcement, yes or no?

        Like I said, you figured out my dastardly undercover plan to spend my entire adult life working in video and audio production:

        I have spent most of my professional life in the video and audio production industries. I had my own small post-production studio in Los Angeles for 10 years. I have worked as a video editor, audio editor and sound designer for multiple prestigious clients and also for some low-budget film companies.

        I also have experience as a news videographer, I’ve done a lot of TV and radio advertising work, and I have an impressive list of people I’ve done voice over work for (I specialize in characters and accents).

        I went to the police academy at age 5 and got hired by the FBI when I was 9 and by the time I was 18 and went to school to become an audio engineer, I had already begun my federal police plan to infiltrate Lemmy. In the year 1999.

        And it would have worked if it wasn’t for you kids and your dog.

        I don’t know how you figured out that I am very much definitely a cop for sure, but you’ve ruined 38 years of hard police work!

              So weird how this question drives you so mad that you can’t just answer it. I never thought this would be someone’s button.

                    Are you under the impression that the movie trope is true and that he can’t lie about it? Lol what’s the point of this question? There’s not much of a reason to even suspect it but either way why bother?
