The recent discourse over the beating to death of a 16 year old kid in Chicago has me wondering where snitching and doing the right thing meet if ever.
So, have you ever called the cops?
I have one time. I was at a friends house when this kid showed up with a gun. He had mental issues and was convinced that I had stolen from him (which I had). I looked over the balcony and saw that he was not bullshitting about having a gun as it was in his hand and he was shouting for me to come out.
I loaded old girls dads shotgun and went to the top floor of the house. I could hear him trying to knock down the door and shouted to him that I was going to call the law which I did, he split before they showed. I later contacted his parents and they removed the gun from his room.
This is set in the suburbs.
So, was I a snitch in doing that or was that the right thing to do?
