Not to go too deep into details on here but it was a situation in my city a few years back with a high profile case. It involved one of the most vicious dudes in the city at the time snitching on an attorney. When the news broke, one dude took on social media calling the dude who snitched a rat and everything. The snitch heard or saw the post and wind up going to this dude’s job (he was working outside), gave him a black eye and tried shanking him as he was getting away. I say all of that to say although a person maybe a rat (and personally I despise all rats and always hard on them), they can also be a wolf too. So I tell people, if you know you not a wolf yourself or built to stand on your words no matter where it can go, don’t even get involved in that conversation.
Right on...
I despised snitches at one point too, my thing was always to stay away from talking about dudes and cats where it was either suggested or strongly believed they were rats, just stay clear of em...
When I went to prison (burglaries) my co-d told that I was involved with him, and nikkas was telling me they would get at him for me but I ain't want to go there with him, I just severed the relationship...
Later, I shot a dude who didn't wanna tell on me so bad, he put another nikka in jail. I was investigated for like 2.5 years on that case and his sister was working with the police to grab me but she wasn't part of The Culture, she was trying to avenge her brother the best way she knew how, but I wasn't tripping...
A shot another dude who told me he'd have me clapped before I left town, before that, he was plotting to rob me. He told everything, I got a favorable outcome in that case and never crossed paths with he or his people again...
Had a homeboy who was part of a robbery click get knocked with a gun I gave him, the dudes he was with (it was 4 of them), there was like 4 bodies and a ton of robbery and drug charges between them. His girl told me he was snitching and other people did too, basically saying he was telling that he got his gun from me, and that he knew I was a dealer and would get me caught up in his stuff. He was really my friend and I went to the jail to see him, said he wasn't telling, but I deaded that relationship eventually...
Point being, for myself personally, it was easier to stay clear of snitches or potential snitches rather than risk a bunch of extra shyt with them. Of course, most people I interacted with never told anything to get me in trouble but those are the close calls I remember...
As it pertains to other guys situations, you hear shyt all the time and just make a decision on what you see and hear on who to not fukk with. Personally other cats situations are their own, I was never into trying to be Captain Save-A-Hoe for someone else who got told on. But I also was more of a loner who wasn't in this big clicks where nikkas expected you to avenge every slight against them, and the dudes I was cool with, we didn't have the kinds of relationships where we ran back and forth to each other to solve problems that didn't directly involve us; only times I was really with other dude's in some action is if we were present together when some shyt went on, barring a select rare cases. I didn't go around chasing other nikkas beefs...
So yeah my best advice to people, even before I said it, was let shyt roll thru one ear and out the other when it comes to rats or other people's problems, unless you want that drama on your plate. You definitely see situations where dudes shyt on someone and gotta see that guy or someone close to him down the line and many of those times don't handle that pressure well after popping first...
