If it's in his neighborhood and visible to him and his kids (and any other kids who are at the park), then it is his business in my book.

 

Edit: and sure, he could've confronted the guy, but you gotta assume someone who is going to visibly fuck in their car in the middle of the day in a residential neighborhood next to a park is either dumb or fucked up on something. You really think confronting him and putting his kids into potential danger is the right move?

 

idk man, the fact that you would tell on someone for getting it on in public seems like a pretty low standard for what you will and will not go snitch for. if i had seen it i would have A. closed my blinds and then B. went on about my business. or C. get it on tape and post it online for my amusement.. because at this point he isn't privy to the fact that this dude is fucking a child. if you got kids keep them inside, if you are that flustered about it, go confront him. idk why the police needed to get involved.

 

 

different scenario. say someone was outside selling drugs in the park instead, he is much more of a threat to have in your neighborhood than some dude fucking in his car. if he would have snitched and made a thread about it would people here be having the same attitude? i doubt it. you'd all be up in arms like "oh fuck you snitchin ass nurga" etc. etc. etc.

 

or better yet, say someone was hitting shit up in the park instead and he called it in, would you all be cool with that? snitching is snitching bro. it doesn't matter what the offense is. mind your own business and keep it moving.

Think what you want, we all have opinions. I live in a decent neighborhood and plan to keep it that way. I am trying to raise decent kids, not earn street cred. At a certain point/age, if you do not live in a "street" environment, street cred does not mean much. I grew up in a bad neighborhood, there is no way i am going back to that.

 

Also, like I have said, if this dumbass was not in front of everything, I would not have done anything, but he chose to park where everyone has to pass. I kind of think he subconsciously wanted to get caught. He was taking wwwwaaaaayyyyy too many risks.

I am laughing at IR, because he is digging up all those articles about 22 and 14 year olds. I would have never guessed there were that many instances with those two ages.

 

IR, I am about to send a PM.

do what you do, if you want to live that kind of life, as a normal upstanding citizen or whatever, then thats fine. i understand the desire to have your kids grow up in a safe enviroment. but if you are into a criminal lifestyle (i.e. being a writer etc.) then you got to live by different rules, you can't have it both ways. like i said, if you had snitched on another writer, we'd all be looking at this from another point of view. my thing is, im not going to hold a civilian accountable for calling the cops because they are just playing their part, they are on that side of the law. but if you are out here habitually breaking laws and shit, you have a different set of code of ethics. the chief among those being don't talk to police.

 

im not some hardcore tough guy or any of that shit, i just think being a writer who also calls the police is hypocritical as shit.

While I did live that lifestyle, I have since moved on. I have been jailed for writing and have kept my mouth shut. We all are at different points in our life's with different things that we consider right/wrong.

 

I thought that fucking in a truck at in front of kids at the park was wrong. I did not think it was appropriate to make a scene in front of my kids, so I did what I consider a rational person would do.

 

If someone sold drugs at the same park or painted my house, I might or might not call the police. Each person does what they do based on what they think is a priority for them. Street cred plays very little in my priorities now a days.

I thought this over (yeah, I think about things I read on 12 oz when I'm not on 12 oz....yay me) and I believe you did the right thing under the circumstances. Note the two qualifiers- "you" and "under the circumstances."

 

My personal code is pretty simple. I don't talk to the cops voluntarily and I try really fucking hard to not talk about other people's dirt. In the rare cases where I just gotta share something with the world, I never mention specifics or even discuss it with anyone who might have been involved. That's how I was raised...you either handle shit or keep your mouth shut, especially when you are a third party. (Insert adamsblock.jpg here.)

 

The reason I moved to Oakland was to get the fuck out of the suburbs. I wasn't a bad kid/young adult, but my idea of having fun and the social contract where I grew up definitely did not jibe. I don't know why anyone would want to live where nothing's going on and the cops are bored...I guess settling down and having 2.5 kids is a good reason but it's not something I ever plan to do, and if it were to happen I really don't know how I'd deal with it.

 

Now I live where there's no end of trill behavior and barely any cops around, which is fine as long as no one fucks with me or my people. When it happens (not often) I deal with it and move on. I don't think I've ever seen a situation where the OPD got involved and made things right, thus I have no need for them even though I've seen a lot of crazy, fucked up shit living here...it's gotten to the point that it barely registers with me anymore. Most of it is stupid hood drama that doesn't involve me, but I've had to get in the middle of my fair share of bad situations when it was called for. Shit happens.

 

So as far as I'm concerned, you did the right thing as a parent and a resident of what appears to be a decent neighborhood. If were some wannabe scumbag graff dude that lived down the street from me, I'd probably bust your balls about it and think you should have stayed in the suburbs.

I can totally see where you "no cop calling" guys are coming from. I was there not that long ago.

 

 

Now, I am just trying to stay ahead of bills and raise my kids right.

 

 

It always surprises me at how much 12oz has grown up and the viewpoints have changed.

I've only called once to report an abandon stolen car in front of my building. Turned out I was right..

 

I think I'd only call emergency if I saw someone being raped or seriously attacked. Or someone stealing from me or my neighbors..

 

None the less, I appreciate your vigor. It is your neighborhood to protect as you see fit..

It's just, I remember my first car, and not having a place to fuck, I put a lot of miles on that back seat and it would have sucked having a cop tap on the window.

 

Same here, the Rambeler did it's fair share of rocking, but I took that shit to a drive-in, or a back road in the cuts somewhere. The burbs is not the place for that.

The "yo whassup dog you're a writer stop snitching br0" line is stale because a) I've seen way too many writers flip over some bullshit and b) when shit gets really real and I'm rolling with a white kid from the suburbs...I don't care how many spots they have running, because when it comes down to it they're still a white kid from the suburbs who is only a criminal by default and not the swinging dick they'd like to think they are.

 

When someone is out of their element, they usually freeze or panic when shit gets hot. And since I'm too old to deal with dummies, I roll solo 99% of the time....having to be the babysitter in a hot situation sucks ass.

 

I'm not pointing fingers at anyone or trying to pull anyone's card, but let's be honest here.

My dude, engaging in criminal activity does not mean you automatically endorse all criminal activity, even criminals have standards. You telling me if you're out painting an alley and you see some piece of shit raping a chick you just give each other a nod and a wink and continue on because you're both committing a crime?

And then there's that angle.

 

When it's time to physically remove an individual from a squat, I like to call it "taking out the trash." Sometimes common sense takes precedence over my anarchist tendencies...if you can't behave right then you gotta go. Nothing personal....call it what you will, but there are times where I'm asked to be the Big Guy who enforces the prevailing morality of whatever space I'm in...does that make me a cop? No, it means I have to do what's right sometimes.

 

And please believe that I don't get "what's right" confused with the law even if it appears that way at times.
