It'll take a girlfriend of one of the guys in this crowd, a girl that isn't knee deep into this shit, to nark on someone. But I still think that these kids are so scared that they will be found or someone in their family will be hurt. It's almost ironic in how tough these kids act or want to be perceived, yet they are being controlled & kept down by someone more "powerful." In reality-They are all scared to death.
You got it. I'm not sure how crime stoppers works, but if there is a chance that the reward money can be traced, we may never hear who did this because not one of those hoodrats would take 20k over being labeled a snitch. I'm not sure if it is like this everywhere, but being from the area, I can say this whole "snitch/nark" mentality runs deep. When I was 14 my Uncle was arrested in a sting operation for selling drugs. My entire family and everybody in the neighborhood knows the name of the person who "set him up" and the person who "narked" on him. 20 years later, I still remember those names. It has made me think twice about opening my mouth.
