POLICE JUST KNOCKED AT MY DOOR

[SolidLuigi]

Yeah, and that's pathetic. "Hey, if you won't give us information to arrest some people, WE'LL ARREST YOU TOO! It's a win-win situation"

Well it makes sense. If you aren't providing information you may have on a criminal then you are aiding them in hiding from the law, so you are in essence working with the criminal.

[caliboi2009]

u guys don't understand it is the BAY AREA!!!!!! u will get shot if they find out who snitched.

[heavycola]

u guys don't understand it is the BAY AREA!!!!!! u will get shot if they find out who snitched.

Does this apply in any bay area? What about Morecambe Bay? Or Cockleshell Bay? I'm pretty sure there weren't any guns there. But it was all a while ago.

[Snorri1234]

Cheney shot someone in the face hunting. Real safe

Another reason why criminals shouldn't have guns.

[HungrySomali]

Snitches get stiches

Snitches are bitches [period]

So a concerned citizen who wants to prevent future crimes is a bitch? Tell that to victims of rape/murder/mugging. Yeah, as I said before, if you don't snitch on someone and they go on to hurt someone, you're just as responsible as they are. If you can live with that, fine.

No one was raped or murdered. Im sure it was 2 kids on probation who had dope ion their system and didnt want to go back to jail. who in their position wouldnt run and break my fence? Everything worked out for everyone. they didnt get caught, i get a new fence, we both get to sleep in our beds and get some p*ssy 2nite. stop being a b*tch

OMG, you are the sorriest excuse for a contrived thug I have ever come across. Letting the police know that two people ran through your yard and which way they went is not snitching. Getting busted with an 8 ball and ratting out your dealer to get a lighter sentence is snitching. See the difference? I am probably as far from being a police sympathizer as there is but would have no qualms about telling the police about two idiots dropping a gun in my yard. The whole snitching thing is about loyalty and looking out for your own, you obviously have taken this sentiment and distorted it to fit your little fantasy world of you-vs-the man. As Ice-T once said, "Shit aint like that". Grow up kid.

[kalishnikov]

Okay, so, lets see the worst of the situation. I snitch, and the bad guys find out. From there, on of two things can happen. 1. They tell their buddies, and they come and beat me up. Or, B. They GET OFF, and come after me. So they come and beat me up. I call the cops, and have them arrested. This time it's a sure thing they're sent away. A criminal's word against mine?

Either way, they're arrested, and it's one or two less criminals. If the worst happen, I may get hurt. big deal. I've been hurt before.

In State College, perhaps when you snitch you do just get beat up but in other places (even your own state) you get far worse then that. 3 kids got killed getting of the school bus here (Pittsburgh) 2 years ago at 3pm in the middle of downtown because they snitched on small-time gang and one of them got it in his head and took care of business. When you can get hit in broad daylight in downtown in a small city like Pittsburgh, it seems to me the best course is to keep your mouth shut.

Don't make enemies and you stay alive, period. I think most people here with their pro-snitching outlook don't live in a place where you will get consequences from your actions, and by consequences I mean bullets.

[mandalorian2298]

Well, since I live in a country where a convicted war criminal made a daring escape by NOT COMING BACK TO JAIL AFTER HE WALKED OF TO USE THE PAY PHONE , I agree with the no-snitching policy, possible exception being if the criminals hurt someone that you care about.

[salvadevinemasse]

Your assuming they'd know exactly which person snitched though.. Out of all the yards they aren't going to look and point to yours and say "It was that person! That house snitched us out!" I hope for everyone in that area that your right and they do get caught but if you saw a full face or something that can help save a life.. why not snitch if it saves a life..you never know it could be a relatives life of yours that you save.

[ignotus]

If someone robbed or killed my mom i would want to know who did it.

And everybody is someone's mom, dad, son, nephew, aunt, grandpa...
So I'll snitch, although I can understand those people who don't wanna.


@mandalorian2298: Yes, and that happened in our "best maximum security penitentiary".

This is exactly what I was trying to say earlier, the difference between snitching and providing info. Thank you somali for putting it into words that I couldn't haha

[Dekloren]

EVERYONE WATCH AND SNITCH ON YOUR NEIGHBOUR!!
NOW NOT ONLY BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, YOUR NEIGHBOURS ARE TOO!!!

[SolidLuigi]

EVERYONE WATCH AND SNITCH ON YOUR NEIGHBOUR!!
NOW NOT ONLY BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, YOUR NEIGHBOURS ARE TOO!!!

difference in spying on what someone is doing in the privacy of their own house and reporting on someone ditching a gun in your lawn

[what,me worry?]

Just because you refuse to snitch doesnt make you just as guilty. Im sure you all take down license plates of people who are parked in handicap without a placard, or who run red lights, or people who litter because your conscience will keep you up at night knowing your guilty. I dont tell police sh*t. Unfortunately you all grew up in the midwest with college handed to you or even being able to walk down your streets past sunset. Watching areas like this on tv and giving your opinion is different than living here.

**************UPDATE*************

Police caught one of the suspects in the original chase and one suspect later.


I didnt snitch and what a shocker they still caught them.......... wow, the town is better already........

Okay, so, lets see the worst of the situation. I snitch, and the bad guys find out. From there, on of two things can happen. 1. They tell their buddies, and they come and beat me up. Or, B. They GET OFF, and come after me. So they come and beat me up. I call the cops, and have them arrested. This time it's a sure thing they're sent away. A criminal's word against mine?

When you can get hit in broad daylight in downtown in a small city like Pittsburgh, it seems to me the best course is to keep your mouth shut.

Don't make enemies and you stay alive, period. I think most people here with their pro-snitching outlook don't live in a place where you will get consequences from your actions, and by consequences I mean bullets.

My point remains the same. Murder is just a step up from a beating. If it's murder, then it's almost guaranteed they're going to get caught and sentenced to death them selves. Few actually get away with murder.

Actually, most do.

EDIT: Most is probably an exaggeration, I think it's actually around 30% of murders are unsolved. Which in any case is far more than "few."

Kalashnikov you have a good point. As I stated before though, my main reason for debating against WMW is because he was proudly touting the "No Snitching" motto around. If he described what you just did about there being a very real chance for revenge and that he would like to help the police and get rid of these criminals but he chose not to because he is in fear of the revenge, then I wouldn't have a problem. I understand there are rough areas like that. I am debating against the fact that he was proud of it, which shows that he doesn't care about the consequences of those criminals going free.

Also, about WMW's update of the criminals getting caught. To think that because you were sure they would get caught anyways so you didn't tell the cops anything, makes it OK; is the same as someone throwing a pile of garbage on the ground and leaving it because they are sure someone will pick it up. Both are wrong.

[nesterdude]

i am all for you not snitching and invite people who automatically assume the opposite to question whether or not that there is a cultural class distinction that makes you feel that you must respond that way.

I mean its a fence folks....lets get some perspective.

If it were just some kids messing around and ruining a fence I'd say who cares. But the OP clearly said the cops said they were already on probation and they ditched a gun in the front yard so they weren't exactly harmless

clearly the number of things you can end up on probation for and the fact that they have a gun, doesnt make them dangers to society, and in fact a large number of the things your likely to get put on probation for, are very class based, almost antagonisitically so.

In that type of situation, im not saying anything to the cops either.

It's class based because of desparity. The two guys probably didn't have anything else to turn to except crime. Face it, when people are backed into corners, they do desperate things. So unless we eliminate class (doesn't work, been tried) there will always be class differences. That's primarily why most crime is in the inner city. It doesn't matter if someone is rich or poor, if they do things like that, they're a danger to society and deserve to be adequately punished. And not snitching only endanger society more.

This is so stupid it practically drools.
Dude, I'm not discounting the fact that there is a relationship between disparity and crime, but in your comment you put all criminals in the realm of OK by saying that their hands are forced by the "system"
Bah, let's talk about personal responsibility, decision making, values, etc.
To absolve a criminal of responsibility because there is a class structure (and in said class structure those living in disparity should strive to the next tier of the caste, not be weak and resort to crime, but the uneducated are often too stupid to realize that) is absolutely giving in to the same liberal dribble that allows thieves to sue home owners when the thief is injured on the property while committing a crime.
Let's just face it: if there were no class levels, there would be nothing to push people to work harder, achieve and challenge the status quo.
So, let's not immediately assume that these people were "forced" into a life of crime. They have choices and chose to go that way.
Oh, finally, please tell me what you know about the "inner city," or did you read that most crime happens there from a text book?

[caliboi2009]

u guys don't understand it is the BAY AREA!!!!!! u will get shot if they find out who snitched.

My point was that my choice to not snitch didnt make a difference. I kept my values intact and the cops got them both. Their capture made no difference just as if they were never caught, would make no difference. Life is still a bitch and the 2 suspects got their own little 5x5 inch square corner right above the safeway ad for booze that took up half the page.

[Kugelblitz22]

I kept my values intact

That's not a value. That's a juvenile, intercity dumb ass attitude. If you were breaking the law with these guys, running through neighborhoods, etc and turned them in to get yourself off the hook, that would be a bitch move and yes, snitching.

Pull your head out of your ass, turn off the gangsta rap (until your old enough to distinguish between reality and make believe) and grow up.
