Thats fair enough. Like I said I get where you're coming from because to a MUCH LESSER extent. I grew up and lived in simmilar places. I'm not tryna say it's B-More lol but everywhere has it's bad spots so You get what I mean.

And as long as it's mutual and you're cool with living next to each other and it isn't effecting your kids, you keep doing you while he does him. lifes a LOT Easier that way. no reason to ruffle feathers or upset the apple cart.

I KNOW for a fact that if you did anything to get ya neighbour locked up that CHANCES ARE it's going to come back to YOUR door, sooner or later. And you don't want that. Not necessarily for you. But your kids.

We both know that once that particular ball starts rolling. it's VERY hard to stop.

And when I said "do you want your littluns living next to a crack house"

That was hypothetical because for some people that would be a legit reason to phone the police

When I was a kid there was a crack house up the street.

One of my neighbors called the cops on them. I'm not saying I would have done it, but truth be told I'm happy it happened. I live like a block from an elementary school yo.

sometimes good people are put in unfortunate circumstances

And THIS (at least for me) is where we start entering snitching territory.

Jason set up the scenario.

Now they've found ya neighbors product in YOUR possesion.

They take him in, they take you in. You've been quiet until now. But the police want to start asking for info in an I scratch your back if you scratch mine. You're getting punished but the punishment can be reduced.

You give them what they want. Either on your neighbour or on another or even a BUNCH of dealers you're in contact with.

Now you're snitching. You've spent years going against the law but now you wanna work with it by giving up FELLOW "crooks" who have been doing the exact same shit you have all this time.

I see snitching as something that is motivated by greed or some sort of low life slime ball snake like vengence whether personal or strictly buisness.

It aint snitching.

If OP turns in the shooter purely out of concern for the shot, his fellow man and his neghbourhood as a whole. It isn't snitching. It's performing his civic duty at his own disgretion.

that accessory part is a REAL good point.

a quick story...

my ex girlfriend, before i met her, used to live across the hall from from a criminal. drugs, violence...whatever. he saw her see him beat a woman up, and she called the police. he was booked and charged. days later, a molotov cocktail gets thrown through my ex-girlfriend window...this is is 100% true shit...and believe it or not..it happens FREQUENTLY in bmore...in fact bmore is where the STOP SNITCHING campaign began.

that being said, i would hope that the fear of retaliation wouldnt deter me from letting my conscience guide me...but in alot of urban areas..there's an unspoken code to shit.

when i used to be on my porch smoking weed...if kids were outside playing..i would ash out. why? because if my fucking kids outside playing, you better ash out too. If you dont...i'm not calling the cops...i'll just let you know not to do that around my kids. if you dont listen..then it'd be ME that enforces it. it sounds barbaric and shit, but in alot of communities, people collectively police themselves.
