They both should have spent the remainder of their lives behind bars without contact with any other inmates or the outside world. Better yet, the death penalty is justified here. This is a slap on the wrist, they will be out sooner than anyone would like and behind bars they will be just as dangerous if left to mingle with other degenerates.

Why do black people hate snitches more than they hate murderers, rapists, and other criminal thugs? And why do we tolerate these stupid, ridiculous 'street rules'? These thugs are animals and should be treated as such. Where's the NAACP and ACLU to support this dead guy's civil rights? Oh that's right. They are too busy tackling non-issues.

I think you lose your right to get self-righteous about your "freedom of speech" when you produce a series of videos intimidating other people from using their own.

And Tod, I'm pretty sure Ronnie Thomas doesn't represent all blacks. Unless there was a vote at some point that I'm unaware of. I think that's kind of like applying David Duke's opinions to all white people.

Im whilte. Most of the black people I know are friends, neighbors and co-workers who are very decent people trying to make a living in the world today. I have personally been a victim of violent crime, witness intimidation and I think that anyone making a video to support crime can not hide behind their first ammendment rights because they forfeited them when they took away my rights to life, liberty and happiness. When your free speech incarcerates me in my house, afraid to walk my own streets, it is time to take you down. And so they did.

Does anyone know how many of these guys ended up turning into "snitches" once they faced charges of their own?? i thought i had read somewhere that a few of them actually ended up becoming the thing they claimed to so hate.

for all u who is down talking no snitchin is because u dont leave the life style. most of u never probably been beat up by police 4 no reason, been 2 jail 4 any real reason, singled out 4 any real reason, so u can only talk what u dont knw......at the end of the day theres real shit goin on other than the comic book life yall live in..police fprce is a gang too u stupid asses, the goverment is a gang but just legal so b4 u go running your mouth sit and think 4 a minute its bigger than what yall are talkin bout. ohh yeah and on the snitch sht its really simple if u are not invoved mine your fuckin business its that simple, if u have nothin 2 do wit it dont involve urself and if u do then u bring heay on u 4 talking bout shit that dont concern you so yeah u should pay by street punishment....and if u dont like it move out of the jungle and let lions be lions suckas!!!!!

Tod I don't think all black people hate snitches more then murderers etc but people (all ethnic groups) in crime related profession hate them because of the disloyalty it causes. A guy get shot because a drug deal gone bad, well it is part of the game it was a cause for it....but a guy rats on another is a no-no in the street world. In fact the same people who are outraged by this code of conduct are the same ethnic groups that actually started the CODE...blacks just borrowed it.

The comment posted by "real" explains it all...He seems to be a very well educated and reasonable individual. This is the mentality of these morons. Get educated and go earn some money for once in your life.

I just wish our tax dollars didn't have to be wasted housing these scum bags. A ten dollar box of bullets would be a better resolution.

ALLEN: I don't think it's a matter of "black people hating snitches" so much... I think it's more of a matter of THUGS hating snitches so much. Whether the thug is BLACK, WHITE, ITALIAN or otherwise. This is an age-old, unspoken rule that has been incorporated into the mafia, street thuigs, gang members (black, white, hispanic or otheriwse). So really, let's not make this the old scape goat of calling this a "black thing."

On another note, I beleive the "stop snitching" rule to be one of the most ignorant of and stupid rules of the street. Many people have lost their lives for not abiding by this rule. It's ridiculous. I'm glad they are putting Thomas behind bars, I'm sure his video has probably claimed a lot of lives by those thugs that felt they were disrespected by being "snitched on."

@Real. I can fully appreciate where Real is coming from. I dont say that with sarcasm I say it with compassion. He lives in a world full of hatred and mistrust and crime and retaliates in kind.It doesnt make it right, but he was the only one on that side of the arguement to make even a feeble attempt to try to explain his position. His opportunities in life are obviously limited, he will most likely die by the hands of the police or a rival gang member soon. Does anyone actually believe he thinks his rantings are right? Of course not. He is an example of what the police, decent citizens of all colors, and others of his ilk contend with everyday. My question is what would Real do if presented a real opportunity to change it all? Right now he is just a rabid dog to dangerous to get close to. What if there was a program that would work?

snitches deserve stiches. bottom line.

shot out to real everybodys a gang in some sort of way tha police when they are dirty and one cop tells on another they become the enemy when u tell somebody somethin ur friend ask u not to u become unbenefitted with that person but when u are livin in a life of crime and u get jammed up why bring down the next man idiots dont nobody know nuffin till u tell em sumtin

Stop snitching, its that simple, handle your own sht, I just can't believe that people were raised any differently. Snitches breeding more snitches, it's a damn shame.
