snitch
quote:
After another violent weekend in his city, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has a message for anyone involved in the shootings that left nine people killed and 37 injured: Stop the culture of silence.
"I'd like to remind everybody that it also requires a community to step up," Emanuel said Monday at an unrelated press conference. "You're not a snitch, you have a role in community policing."
The "s" word is a particularly powerful one in Chicago.
Last year a Chicago mother was arrested after she allegedly drove her son and an accomplice to shoot a person they believed was a snitch. The year before, a dying 17-year-old took the name of his killer to the grave.
"I know," Robert Tate reportedly said when asked if he knew who shot him in the chest, "but I ain't telling you."
Last week, eight people were struck in a drive-by shooting at 79th Street and South Essex Avenue, and community activist Andrew Holmes said some of them reportedly weren't cooperating with police.
"The persons have been struck by gunfire, they need to step up and speak up for us," Holmes told NBCChicago.com. "Nine times out of 10, they knew who was firing the shot at them."
Emanuel's message is one that Chicago has heard before. Former Mayor Richard Daley said it too -- over and over again.
Emanuel said police have moved in more officers, removed guns and drugs off the street, and over the weekend, arrested 307 people and confiscated more than 100 weapons during several drug busts across the city.
"We can keep doing that," he said, "but we have to pass stronger gun laws in this state. We're not talking about repealing conceal/ carry, but making sure we have a tougher set of laws dealing with assault weapons and other types of guns."

Have you ever ratted,tattled or snitched on a thread here, for what YOU viewed as inappropriate? Not including spam posts. 0 -
Nope. I just move on to the next topic. Joe 0 -
Depends how you define spam.
One night some troll went nutso and posted a very graphic piece of porn into basically every thread on at least the first page, and maybe the first two pages of the forum.
I snitched. He promptly posted his porn image to my snitch post.
That's the only time.0 -
NEVER 0 -
You mean that there is actually someone running in this assylum that takes complaints about inappropriate posts (including such things as insults and death threats) that would actually do something about them [:0][?]. 0 -
I've snitched on trolls 2 or 3 times, but never on real members.

No, but I invited that idiot that slammed a member who's son was in Iraq, out into the street for a talk!!!
To me If you have to simply ignore an idiot. Getting him banned is like a trophy on his shelf....
Trouble is all it is all to temping to make that post of disapproval and as soon as you freaking do...he wins the game!!!0 -
Nope.
But one of my first 5 posts on this board got poofed.
Very soon thereafter I got a mail saying "I mailed Nunn, I didn't like it, I... I... I.... nah nah nah naaahhhhh nahh"0 -

Mr. Nunn, could you please make the "association" thread go away? It's in far worse taste than a few scantilly clad young ladies.

No, but I've been snitched on twice so far in the last 24 hrs. 0 -
Kinda reminds me of when I was a kid. If either me or my brother tattled on the other one for something, we both got spanked. Usually the tattler got it harder. That taught us to stick together and work things out on our own. 0 -

No big deal. A couple have fingered me for getting the "Association" thread poofed. Yea, right. Like I got any pull With Mr. Nunn. I don't take this stuff seriously. As anyone could find out, most of my posts are jokes, half hearted attempts at humor, and tounge in cheek sarcasm. In fact, I was one of the first to post a reply to "Association".0 -
