As usmarine said, safe is a relative word.  If I had information that would help take down a criminal organization, it would be morally wrong not to say something.  I trust God to protect my family when I've done the right thing and after that hopefully the criminal justice system would do its job.
How many guys did the right thing and God wasn't there to help them?  How many times did the justice system (in any country) fail to do its job?

Well said mate, tis true that that is ^

If everyone lived in fear human race wouldnt be where we are now

If everyone went around without any fear at all, the human race wouldn't be where we are now. It probably wouldn't even exist.

And I would speak out, but only if I knew my family, friends, acquaintances, random innocents and myself were safe.

I'm surprised none of you were outraged that I would try to make money off it. I thought there would be a big uproar with everyone having a moan.


Oh well.

But what if speaking out put your family's lives at risk?

I would not put my loved ones in danger by ratting out a criminal organization. However, if myself or anyone I love were in danger, I would do anything necessary to ensure the safety of the aforementioned parties.

Sorry about the use of "aforementioned parties."
I was mocking myself.
Did you read the sentences I wrote before that?!?
Sheesh...

I'd find the people threatening my family and take them out while telling the authorities at the same time.

Thank you, thank you.  I'll be here all week, with two shows on Saturday.

You all say yes, but if you were faced with an organisation like the mafia or the mossad, then you would shut the fuck up. Believe me.

Which is why I'd want proper witness protection. Like, being in a house on an Army base where any mafioso will have to go through the entire First Cavalry Division to get me.

Not with Zombie Lincoln protecting me, but then we'd have to start talking about string theory and chaos theory and quantum mechanics...

Need examples or this poll fails, it's just going from one extreme to the other

And how long would you like to live in an Army base away from your home?

I once met a Heroin Dealer from kasachstan, who was working for the same company, like me. i didn´t report him to the police, because the day before he showed me his drug sortiment, he talked about his weapons and how cheap a russian killer is. i met him again a year ago.. and he wasn´t driving his sportscar no more - he stood in the rain and was hitchhiking, to get to town. his time in prison did him well...
