Assume that you had a friend in your school who was so close to you.Just like brother or sister to you.After school days you went to some other city for higher education and lost communication with your friend.Years later you hear that he became a criminal or is doing some illegal activities.Suddenly one day you happened to meet him accidently.What will be your reaction? Will talk as if talking to an old friend or will consider him as a criminal and try to avoid him?

I will talk to him as an old friend, I hope it would help him to realize that there is still at least one good people on this earth who would accept him as he is, no matter what his current 'occupation' now. Hopefully it will touch his heart and he can become a good person again.

I’ll talk to him as if meeting an old friend but after that I will not encourage further rapport. My husband has faced such situation quite a few times. There is this guy with whom he spent his school years. They practically grew up together. After that, for various reasons, this guy strayed into the bad world of crime and nothing was heard of him after that. His family left the neighbourhood and nothing was known of them, except for the fact that the guy has now become a dreaded criminal in another part of the city. Then one day, my husband was walking down the road when suddenly a car stopped, a guy in shades and rowdy clothes got off and walked towards him…my husband was taken aback, more so when the other guy came closer and hugged him! Its only after the shades were removed that my hubby could recognize his old friends. Both of them were very happy and wanted to share some moments together…but the other guys in the car thought it might be dangerous! (you know how the gang wars are)…but this friend did not want to take my husband to his home coz he understood that being seen with a criminal would do much harm to my husband. So finally they entered a small tea shop and all the while that they chatted, the other guys in the car, waited outside with a patient eye on the surroundings. They exchanged mobile numbers and though the other guy called up my husband a few times for a drink, my husband always made some excuse. he says that if they meet on the road, its OK for a hello, but further than that, it is quite dangerous for an ordinary person with family and job, to keep rapport with a criminal. They just belong to a different world.

I will still talk to him/her like usual. Despite what had happen or how bad he/she has turn to, that person still doesn't betray me or do the bad thing to me. I will try to find a way to talk about it if possible. There must be a reason for whatever he/she done it, I should find out before judging him/her just like that.

I'd still talk to him as a friend.
