So 'Wanda' and 'Micky' go off to college and each spends borrowed money....a hefty amount in the $100k range to get a degree. Then as part of the Antifa business, they travel across state lines to participate and get arrested for destruction of property.
Then they wake up and get released from jail....thinking everything is fine.
For four months, they lounge around and laugh over their big adventure. Then one day....a Fed officer team arrives and knocks on the door. Arrest warrant and search warrant.
'Micky' and 'Wanda' call their parents. They hire up an expensive lawyer. The charges? It involves crossing state lines and participating in a riot. The fed guy is talking 18 months in a federal prison.
After a lot of chatting and negotiating.....they get this down to four months in a fed prison.
So they wrap up their next big adventure in the summer of 2021. Both now go to job interviews with respectable companies. In the midst of this....they both get asked if they've ever been arrested. They admit this. The HR guy frowns. Then he asks....was this a felony conviction. OH YES respond 'Micky' and 'Wanda'.
Both learn that this conviction sticks around. So they start to respond no in future job interviews. They eventually get jobs and assume that no one will check anything. Five years pass, and suddenly one day....the HR person and a guard are at the door.....convicted felon came up in a database check.
Will 'Micky' and 'Wanda' ever be able to pay back all of the $100k? I doubt it. Will they ever get the dream job they desired? Maybe.
But this is a rather sad story if you think about the effort to get you to the end of college and you blow this situation on some comical adventure to riot.
