This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The answer is that most people have never been in a police interrogation and they think they can talk their way out of it if they just explain themselves enough.

It's panic thinking. And once you pop you don't stop.

If you're in a police interrogation room you have to assume and internally accept that you're getting charged with something, and not try to talk your way out of it.

Well, technically speaking you can talk your way out of it, it's just that talking your way out of it means speaking one sentence and one sentence only "I'm exercising my right to a lawyer and to remain silent" over and over again

The full thought:
