    If you’re doing something illegal, and a lot of people know, it’s a good policy to not get offside with people on a regular basis.

      Even faker is the idea that the police would actually investigate and take action in response to evidence.

        Evidence of small time drug dealing, you bet they do.

        Ofc the police are different in places, but that seems to be pretty common.

          A small time drug dealer? We’re on the case! We won’t rest till that scum is behind bars.

          Oh someone stole your car? I hope you have a signed confession for the thief. Investigation is hard and I don’t wanna 😣

    now that’s a petty revenge if I’ve ever seen one. and just the type of fucked up attitude I’ve seen so much on image boards like holy shit what is up with that guy

    • I used to have the opinion that people who cheat deserve everything but violence, no revenge being too petty.

      I still believe that, but I also realized that the people lame enough to cheat are not worth even being around and that they’ll do a good enough job fucking up their lives without any help. There are exceptions to this rule though, snakes who cheat and lie and steal for sport, whom no form of retaliation would suffice and any amount of pettiness is beyond acceptable-- I can think of one such person who has went out of their way to wrong me like that, out of the two times I’ve been cheated one by different people, and had I the opportunity to destroy their life and have some part in them being locked up, I would do so without missing a beat and smile proudly every time I thought about because I would have truly done the world a favor through careful application of systemic functions rather than violence. If you disagree with this, let me ask you: would you prefer the violence? At the end of the day, all I care about is that they’d be unable to fuck with people’s lives.

        I do get the feeling that you want some sort of justification but with petty revenge you achieve nothing and pretty much prove that you are not better than them.

        of course there are some really twisted cases where even petty revenge is not as bad as the stuff that happened to yoi

    Reporting such a crime is a good thing no matter what cuckolding has been done. Unless it was a harmless weed dealer, not some crack selling fucker.

      “Drug dealer” is such a broad term that ranges from someone selling weed/shrooms to some buddies to running a fentanyl ring. I don’t know how anyone could say snitching was ok or not with the info anon provided.

    It’s surprising how many people are siding with the drug dealer. The dude doesn’t even pay taxes…

        Knew a guy who sold shrooms to people, he’d give you an invoice for em.

        Not for the shrooms, fuck no, it was all for computer repair and building and consulting and yadda yadda. Sold shrooms with fake PC invoices for a few years and eventually managed to snag a job doing something in IT thanks to the 3 years of running a PC home business

        Still sells shrooms, too, the lovely bastard. Dunno if he gives invoices anymore though

        This is true see IRS publication 525.

        Illegal activities.

        Income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8z, or on Schedule C (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity.

        Bribes are also considered taxable income.

          The point here is to make it explicitly clear that if you’re making money off illegal activity, you can and will be charged with tax evasion when caught. The government will still take action if you tell on yourself, even for tax purposes 👍

        Only for their legit job I hope. That just sounds like a bad idea to be reporting your illegal activities and hoping the government doesn’t decide to use it against you later. Why take the risk?

      As a former dealer, this is a dumb take. Yeah ofc I paid my taxes. Don’t confuse people who just wanna make a living with some strung out federal-lifer who doesn’t even give a shit. You’re letting your prejudices think for you.

      Considering our taxes pay for bombs, drones, domestic surveillance, and other crimes against humanity one could argue that it’s more ethical to not pay them.

      Unless there’s some weird fediverse thing going on where I can’t see all the replies, there’s currently 4 comments (including yours, not mine), and literally every single one calls him a snitch or a narc. Again barring fediverse shenanigans, you’re straight fabricating a divide along a political barrier in a comment section where none exists for… reasons?

    no, that’s incredibly fucked up. if true that’s a fucking horrible thing to do to someone, and for such a fucking petty reason by comparison
