Honestly, those ‘friends’ are plotting on you anyway. When stuff goes south like ol boy getting hemmed up, they already think that you snitched. Don’t meet none of these dudes alone, or they’ll probably beat your ass imo.
So move again. Probably move to a nicer area
Yeah honestly at this point you are better off asking for support to try and move again. Even if the area isn’t much nicer, you’re going to want to get away from an area where people have already wronged you, and are now mad that you have retaliated in a way they do not agree with. Sorry to say, but you are in a fucked up position with no easy and clean way out.
He treated you like a mark, easy or what have you.
How did you find out he was responsible? Police found him and told you he was caught?
Don’t be the spot/friend he will run to when robbing other people, by not getting justice for yourself. Then suddenly you’re the accomplice to his shit. (Someone people will come look for-for knowing him- being an associate of a criminal when they want to find him too.) Instead of directly against supporting him doing that.
Cutting all ties so you don’t get caught up in more of his problems.
Seriously though, as others have said, fuck the dude that stole from you and fuck your “friends”. You don’t need those type of people in your life unless you’re happy being a dumb piece of shit too. The “don’t snitch” mentality perpetuates more bullshit because no one is held accountable for their shitty actions and decisions. Besides, this is way different than snitching on a murder or gang involvement, and you already snitched by calling the police anyways. Follow through on your actions like an adult, handle your shit, and remove your hood friends from your life because they’re not going to have your back when shit gets real. There is no reason to keep people in your life that think “beating the dude’s ass” is holding the guy accountable for his actions; those type of people are toxic to your personal growth as a person since they told you to commit a felony because some dude stole your stuff (no idea if your ex-friend’s charges are misdemeanor or felony).
Fuck your friends. Fuck the dude that stole from you. Fuck “no snitching”.
This is why you gotta be hella selective with who comes over to the crib.
Ol snitch ass nigga
I see that you’re alive. It’s been a while Spinning Beat.
Everyone here’s getting the point across, don’t think I can add on much more.
Do what you feel best, but don’t look at us sideways if you decide to keep staying in such a hoodrat-infested place and something else happens to you.
People who steal from friends are about as low as you can get since they rob you of your hard work and your trust.
Unless that dude has made amends by replacing everything, send him to nigga job core so he can get a jail house education.
I already moved. I don’t live down Garrison (which is the hood I’m from) no more or in randallstown (where the burglary happened), I just hang out round there. I probably can’t go back to my old hood no more though. The guy who is responsible is not associated with the people I grew up with down Garrison. They don’t know each other. It’s just that my friends don’t think I should testify because of their beliefs.
The burglary happened last year (as stated in the OP) it just took the police a year and some change to book him and file charges.
Damn. You’re still here?
It’s been a while since we talked man.
Fuck niggas talking some “no snitchin” bullshit.
You know what that is? Social conditioning so that the powerful people in those communities can remain powerful.
It’s no different than a rule of fear by a government, tribal leaders, etc… It’s powerful people trying to maintain power by socializing fear.
They know that they cannot play the police the same way they played you, so they try to bypass it by making the decision to tell on you an uncomfortable and unfavorable choice. It’s basic game theory.
Fucking wreck this dude’s shit in. Shiiit, testify and then still beat his ass later.
Also, you haven’t “replaced” anything. You basically paid double for it at his expense.
Fuck his ass up and put another blip on his record. Only kids and comeplete fuckwits care a rat’s asshole about some goddamned “snitchin”
:tup:
I thought being a snitch involved committing a crime with someone, having one person get caught, and that person tells the police that another person was involved too? Maybe I’m just fucking old…
If you find your friends are niggas or ghetto-ass hood dudes…get better friends. Clean-cut black dudes, for one, who aren’t about living “that” life. Also, protip: dude looks at your shit and says “if i was any other kinda nigga” and follows that up with your stuff getting stolen by him, watch that fucker.
If going to court interferes with your job then fuck it, you got your money back. Is your testimony crucial to this shit? Sounds like there is more too it than just him stealing from you. Sounds like they have him for other crimes…is that the case Beat?
You went offline at some point. Didn’t know what happened until I saw you posting around in the SFV boards.
i was about to say that if you stayed in the same spot, you should consider getting some type of point and shoot style protection. That’s if that asshole is the type of motherfucker that likes to play those type of fucking games.
get rid of your old “homies”, the fact that they didn’t even ask you if you needed help just goes to show what kind of fucking trash you grew up with. Dispose of trash, but in the right container. Nobody likes a litter bug
Snitch, fuck the lot of em. Bad shit happens when good guys stand around with their thumb up their ass pretending they gangsters. Get new friends, hell even if you cant, ditch anybody who drags you down. Your in the states, buy a shotgun and a black tshirt with a white skull on it, not got the sack? Testify.
Why make a fool of yourself infront of the law? What if something more serious happens down the line, but all of a sudden your this guy who let his friends rip him off and got paid that insurance, but didnt testify?
Throw that nigga into jail. Fuck him and the other niggas that are telling you to not snitch.
Go sing my nigga
