Do you really think "snitches" are bad?

Question

In the case of Michael Vick, I think those guys are heros.

Dog fighters are often involved in the sale and possession of drugs, as well as illegal weapons. The weapons are present due to the large amount of cash present for betting upon the matches. 
Dog fighters and spectators have a history of violent and criminal behavior towards people. 
Dog fighting is another entertainment activity for gangs.

Answer 1

No. If you hadn't been doing something to get snitched on, there'd be no snitches.

Besides, what do you expect? People betting on dogfights, breeding dogs to fight, kill dogs who loose aren't exactly the most moral and ethical in the country. if you choose them as your friends and crew, why the hell would you be surprised when they turn on you?

Vick is an idiot in so many ways.

Answer 2

It depends on the case...

Same with Vick's case, the threat of conspiracy charges (racketeering for him as well) makes the charges so risky for a person to fight them that everyone guilty or innocent will plea bargain Often in drug cases the federal government will lean on people that know the person and threaten them with a conspiracy charge , so people will just tell the government whatever they want to hear. Those type of snitches are bad because they pervert the justice system and it happens more than we think.

So, generally speaking snitches aren't bad, but depending on the circumstances and the case sometimes they are bad...

Society and persons make a be conscious 'undesirable' by using way of their reaction to it. If a small infant stands in front of you and says 'bit@hbit#hbit@h" and you do no longer respond, the youngster, failing to get a reaction from you, will maximum probable no longer do it lower back. If as a exchange you finally end up, 'no no this may well be a bad be conscious and so on." you have given the be conscious means, and the youngster comprises comprehend s/he can wield means by using use of that be conscious. If a be conscious 'desires to be reliable'? nicely, words have not any means on their very own and that they actual have not any will!- the only means a be conscious could have is means we provide to it. hence you may decrease that is effect by using keeping no reaction to it. it may take generations, however, to try this on a extensive scale.

Answer 4

I believe the difference is whether or not the person doing the telling is involved with the people he is telling on. If the person is in no way involved and finds out something, then that's one thing.

But, if a person is "in bed" with the people--meaning part of their group--and then "rolls over on them"--meaning tells on them because he is thinking about his own comfort and has no thought at all for anyone else's safety or comfort--then that is disgraceful. It may be necessary in some cases. It may be justifiable. In fact, if it saves a child's life, or stops major crime, then the act itself may be acceptable. But there is still something about it that leaves a bad taste in the mouths of many. That "something" is lack of loyalty.

If a woman runs a prostitute ring for high level politicians, then gives up all of their names to save herself trouble, then she has done worse than they did, in my opinion. She was paid to provide a service that included discretion. Her reasons--and the reasons of most snitches--for telling on someone is not to do the right thing. It is to save themselves jail time or other trouble.

Without loyalty, this world doesn't function very well. Compare the precision of a standard military unit to that of the United States Marine Corp (Semper Fidelis), for an example. People can exist without loyalty. But life is much better with loyalty. Snitches, even at times that they are truly helpful, are a danger to our sense of loyalty and as such don't "feel right" to most people, even if those people can't quite explain it.

The movie Reservoir Dogs has loyalty as its main theme. I didn't like the movie at all until that fact sunk in. Now, I can watch it and see the social interplay as commentary on loyalty. Interesting.

Sometimes snitches are useful when solving crimes. Oftentimes, probably, if you ask law enforcement. But that doesn't make me think highly of someone who snitches on people they were directly involved with just to save their own skin.

Answer 5

Snitching on someone will usually bring you alot of headache. When you go to the police with anything the first person they investigate is you. A week ago on TV there was this thing about the black community not reporting crimes and the police were upset about this trend. They didn't mention that a policeman will hardly ever turn one of their own in for anything. Just mind your own business.

Answer 6

I don't by this betrayal of a friendship thing. What Vick did was set up an organization that was brutalizing animals. That is bad enough but then they brutally killed the loser for entertainment.

If your best freind was planning on hurting someone. You should report him immediately. If you don't you should be held responsible for aiding in the crime. That includes humanity crimes and extensive crimes against animals.

Answer 7

They snitched to stay out of jail so not heroes. In general snitches are the lowest form of life on the planet. The only one lower is someone who abuses animals for sport. I hope he gets more than 85 minutes in jail.

Answer 8

I think that snitching is weak. Most of the time snitches are doing the same thing that they are telling others about. they do it to avoid the consequences. If you do the crime don't make others a scapegoat for your own actions. There are other options.

Answer 9

There's a big difference between people who are themselves criminals blaming things on others to try to get out of trouble, and people who are truly heroes and are brave enough to provide police information they need to catch a criminal (risking their own safety in the process to ensure that no other people end up victim to these bastards). They really deserve our respect and admiration.
For everybody who complains about crime in their city and about how dangerous it is for their kids, if you don't turn in criminals you are part of the problem yourself.

Answer 10

the guys in Vicks case only switched and gave evidence to save themselves, not for a good cause. WHY ON EARTH WOULD U THINK THEYRE HEROES?

if ya cooperate with the police or l.e. to save ur own self -{{like if ya get caught with a bag of weed, and ya give up who sold it to you to get out of going to jail}}- ur scum....you have no honor.



id rather be an inmate with self respect, than be those bozo's who turned on their lifelong friend in order to get outta prison.

that bein said, vicks trash and he wasnt a good QB and now we all have proof he isnt a good human.
