Many would including those who call themselves Christians today. The group mindset/herd mentality for many is greater than themselves because they let it and thus they are bound by the groups limitations and ignorance.

I WOULD definitely put him in prison for theft, destroying someone else's property (Mark 5:4-14) and vandalism (Mark 11:12-21) and would definitely consider his followers to be a potentially dangerous cult (Matthew 10:35, Luke 12:51-14:26).

i probably wouldnt have even been aware of any of it happening, and if i did, i wouldnt bother going to some silly and insignificant (as far as i would have been concerned) political trial.
there were probably about 50 people altogether in that trial, it's not like everyone in jerusalem was busy with jesus, they were busy with the market, with the holiday celebrations and with their daily lives, in the same way as most other people of the world.
read auden's "musee des beaux arts". this poem tells you how people dont really care about the suffering of others or what happens with them.

I'm against the death penalty today. I imagine I would have been back then, too, but can't say for sure. I also imagine that, as a woman, I wouldn't have had a lot of time to attend public executions.

Hell NO...Look what the creation of that particular martyr has done to our world. Everyone who follows that path truly believes everyone else is going to hell...wars fought in his name. Hell No...I'd have sent in a crack team of celtic warriors to kick Rome's A** (again) and whisked Jesus away to a place where we could hang out...talk philosophy drink wine.

NO! I wouldn't have been there and yelling anything, for fear of death to myself. It was 2,000 years ago and things were a lot different so I'm not really sure how I would have reacted.

Sheesh, NO!! If I managed to save him, then maybe we wouldn't have all the dark ages and crusade wars and inquisition and burnings and all the sh*t that the organised religion has caused in his name and millions of lives would be saved.

No. Although people were completely uneducated then, there were the same basic personality types. The same people would go to a Jerry Springer show.

Well sadly yes, I probably would have unless I had seen the wonderful miracles that He had performed first hand. I am ashamed to admit it, but it was a different time and we didn't have the Bible.

Probably, yes.
Wait, let's try that again.
I'd ask him for some of that homemade wine, hehe, ask him if Mary were busy, and then proceed with the yelling.
