Can a civil lawsuit hurt a green card holder?

As a green card holder you are legally a bound to the laws of that country you are residing in. For example if you vomit murder in the USA you are bound to the US laws. A green card means you are legally aloud to work and live in that country but also you have to pay taxes and abide to that countries laws. So just because someone is a green card holder doesn't mean he will be prosecuted differently. It cold hurt someone though if that persona tries to file for citizenship of that country.
