Masonic hand sign question
Anon was thinking about policy enforcers coming to anon's door. "This charge is foolishness. Do you have a warrant? No? Then go away and get one, you do not have the right to enter this portal. Go get a warrant, so that the judge can also be complicit in your crime."
Then was wondering how anon would behave if the police drew a gun.
Anon knows that there's a Masonic hand sign, the "hands up don't shoot" gesture means the Mason performing the pose is in distress.
That maps; the "citizen" is in distress when the "authority" makes demands, like "put your hands in the air."
Would anon comply? "No sir, I choose not to make a Masonic hand sign at this moment. I am not in distress. I will make no sudden moves."
Then anon thought about the idea of "being in handcuffs."
Since the Masonic force wants us to show "distress" before arrest,might there be Masonic significance to the "hands crossed behind back" pose?
Anon did a little dig, but only saw handshakes and "hand in waistcoat"/"hidden hand", etc. Nothing with hands behind back. Wonder if any anons have dug further?
Thank you!
