Stop snitchin'

Stop Bitchin'. That's a good one. Just like any other campaign, you'll raise a few bucks, but it wont' be effective...look at the Just Say No campaign...

I moved down from Boston last summer. It was big up there - stop snitchin' t-shirts and all. There's a resurgence of kids killing kids.

I saw an interesting post (I think in a blog) defining snitching. You see a murder and report it - not snitching. You participate in a murder and report it to reduce your sentence - snitching.

The bad part is that the neighbor hoods which need to fight crimes the most are the one's that this is big in.

I haven't heard of this but I think we could use a stop bitching campaign around here.



Now your on to something!

I'll design the T-shirts...lol!

This isn't unique to any one city.

9 times out of 10 any crime I worked in the projects, nobody saw a thing. You could quite literally have a trail of blood or a body in someone's front yard, the person would claim they were sitting on their porch all day long and tell you they saw nothing.

Unbelievable, really. People not willing to help the people who are trying to help them.

I don't think (at least based on this thread) it's so much a matter of not wanting to help, as afraid to help for fear of retribution on themselves and their families. THAT is a tough call.
Sadly the cops may want to help. No witness, no problem. No witness, because they fear for their safety. Our justice system may have to evolve to deal with and other threats we are unaccustomed to.

I would never rat out a friend for doing something, but I'll rat out a stranger any day. And I personally think that people who engage in witness intimidation should be given very, very, very lengthy jail sentences. It's pretty sad that some segments of our society have embraced that kind of crap.
