“Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.” Is this excellent advice?

[Still-alive]

Excellent advice everyone should follow!

Its good advice but not the best

Ok advice

Bad advice

Terrible advice

It's situational, like if you are doing criminal stuff with your friends or even acquaintances, then ratting or being too loose lipped will more than likely get you in jail. I knew a few people who ratted. For most of them it wound up with them behind bars because they were told they got a deal, but nothing was in writing or was dependent on getting a conviction. Then you know they ratted because it comes out in discovery or testimony anyway.

If you're looking at 20+ years and get a plea bargain I get that, I know at least 3 people who went that way. Honor between thieves is only enforceable as far as profits and threats can be carried out. If it isn't a cartel or gang, the threat is low while freedom is a pretty precious thing. It's easy to say you'd never do that until you're looking at a similar situation. I never ratted anyone out, but have cut away more people like a kite without a string than I can remember.

Where I'm at now I'd say that if someone is my friend and they're involved in anything, they know I don't want to be anymore, so I simply wouldn't know.

😂🤣 it’s hilarious. Too bad he couldn’t follow his own advice. I’m sure he does partially!

Also I think it’s usually bad advice, tbh. In TARE cases, it’s good advice lol.

I think it's good advice. Probably not the best but seeing about the rat out part can go either way... you don't wanna be the one to rat out your friends first.

No. If they do wrong, they do wrong and I don't mind speaking up cause I'm an honest friend and I fell you when you fuck up

I watch who I tell things because people can't hold water on two shoulders and walk. It's good to give advice, but be careful who you give advice too.
