“Snitches get stitches”. Are you a snitch? Why/why not?

Question

If it involves life and death, you gotta speak up! Call for help. Seeing but doing nothing is just as bad…  Your thoughts?

HarryDallan · Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely! Delay might cost a life or many lives.

Recently a shopping center blew up in the middle of the city here causing 16 deaths and 200+ injuries. Turns out there was a secret firework storage under the building.
The shopping center staff knew about it and said nothing... So if you ask me, they're as much to blame for all those deaths and injuries as the owners of the storage.

If it's a danger that can cost a life or injure someone... I'll shout about it at the top of my lungs to alert the authorities to prevent something awful from happening... and I won't give a shit about what people will say about me "snitching"...

If it's about something I find serious, yeah. Don't care if you hate it, I hate living in a world where doing the right thing is looked down upon, put me out of my misery.

melanieeeB · Answer

Depends on the situation, mostly I don't bother and am way to lazy to say something but if it's more serious and someone else is in some kind of danger, then yes I would immediately, just to safe someone else.

MCheetah · Answer

I'm not a snitch to my friends, family (what little I have, if any), and allies. But to people I hate and would be enemies towards? Hell yeah! I wouldn't even do it just to "snitch" on them or get enjoyment out of it, but because they're my enemies and I want to get payback on them.

But no, I wouldn't snitch on people who know and trust me. Unlike that scumbag POS LA mayor Eric Garcetti. F*CK that guy!

ArtemisSilver · Answer

Someone said this to me once after I called them out for smoking crack on the train in front of children.

I told them I'm not going to call for help, I'm about to throw him out of the fucking train myself unless he leaves on his own power, which he wisely did.

Seriously though, if you're part of an illicit endeavour then you should probably keep your mouth shut for your safety even after you leave, but if you're just a random citizen trying to keep their neighborhood safe then I have no problem with people reporting weird shit going on.

KennethNoisewater · Answer

I think people get confused a lot by this but I can break it down pretty easy. It's all about how you live your life. If your a family driven individual that is very law abiding and does everything by the book then I don't see a problem with that. That's who you are. But if your out there pushing drugs or living that kind of lifestyle you give that up as an option. Your running with the wrong people if you want to call the cops. Six9ine is a perfect example. He should have known that's not an option for him. I think he should have sat and did his time. I know he is living pretty normal right now. But as soon as the people who got locked up gets out he better tighten up. He just cost them years of their lives so when they get out it's gonna cost him years of his.

Blackcosmo · Answer

In certain situations it can't be called "snitching." For example snitching would be to tell an authoritative figure that you saw someone cheating on a test. Now that's none of your business so leave that matter alone. If you report someone getting bullied, that's not snitching. You're doing it for someone else's well being and informing someone of people who hurt others. That's a good thing of course.

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

Snitching is something I abhor. Of course, it stands if the thing is good. If the thing is bad, then I would be the one encouraging snitching.

I have never snitched on my friends, and would never too. That is how you build a reputation for being a dependable and trustworthy friend. Right?

ZackBan · Answer

I think even the golden rule of snitches get stitches exempts rapists and pedophiles, sintching on those is a must.
But in general if there's a fight or a disagreement I would never let something as dirty as a government be the decision holder on who's right or wrong so no I'm not a snitch

Th3ft · Answer

Oh yeah if it is a life or death thing. But I am a fan of confidence! I share with people I can have confidence in and I intend to be a person other can as well. So I never snitch unless it is someone doing something wrong at work that will cause me more work

dustybiker · Answer

Depends. Is the risk worth the reward? That also means covering for others at the sake of my own peace and harmony.

Fuentes · Answer

These days I live a completely different life so yeah I'll snitch happily to avoid any type of trouble in the future.

When I was younger NO that wasn't allowed & could get me killed. But today let someone come try me I will see them coming from a mile away.

NathanDavis · Answer

if it is something serious... I'll do something about it, that's for sure  but this case by case scenario... lol

spartan55 · Answer

Oh man, I LOVE Tom & Jerry! Case by case, anything harmful or life threatening = Spartan is your best witness.

Andres77 · Answer

Save a life? Yes. In a second. just try to give me stitches and you’ll wake up to two angels carrying you somewhere unpleasant

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

It varies by situation. General rule of thumb: if no one benefits by saying anything, and no harm is being done by what would be allowed, don't abuse the reporting system.

BlueScorpio · Answer

Only if it's putting your life ir someone's life in danger. Otherwise I'm not gonna tell your gym trainer I saw snatch extra cookie before a session 🤣😂

RosieMelts · Answer

Lol New York is familia 🤌💋 And the New York subways taught me well: ”See something. Say something. [Call 1800- see it -say it]”  lmao #IYKYK🚊

Lucy68 · Answer

Im going to tell you what I told the principal almost every week, I ain't know snitch cause snitches end up in ditches that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Sandeeppingping · Answer

If it's hurting someone I care about I'm definitely snitching and taking action myself, if it's just something that happened that I won't say anything but I'll threaten the person with it so they'd do what I want, imagine the amount of child trafficking I could make off of dishonest kids, we're rich baby

DEondeBeaumont · Answer

Hell no. Whenever I didn't snitch, the guy would lie and say I did it. So it's more like you get stitches when you don't snitch.

Guardian45 · Answer

I support the underdog. When I see injustice, I feel compelled to act. In the past, I have been a whistle-blower holding powerbrokers accountable. Sometimes successful; Sometimes not.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

No, I won't snitch unless I see someone who needs help that is serious then I get them to help

WhitneySnow · Answer

I would never snitch on a friend but I would totally snitch on some random person no prob

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

Snitches get hooked the fuck up! While I do not condone nor practice such behavior, I see the potential benefits.

Bklynbadboy12 · Answer

nomandik · Answer

Actually snitches do not get stitches they get ditches I'll dig the deepest hole I could possibly can dig in the national forest and that's where that body will go

AngryCarl · Answer

It depends. Who was it and what were they doing?

I'm not the police, and I won't do their work for them.

Zolly99999 · Answer

Depends on the situation...

Nope. Never snitch. You could have a body in the back of your car and I wouldn’t tell a soul or even care.
