teens

A community group known as ‘Detroit 300′ is being credited for helping police track down 3 teens accused of raping a 90-year-old woman.  Now they’re pledging to take back the streets and continue to patrol the neighborhoods.

17-year-old Maurice Randall and 18-year-old Anthony Hardy were arraigned via video Saturday.  They are both charged with the rape and robbery of that elderly woman.News of the arrests drew cheers from the woman’s neighbors who have been patrolling the streets nightly, searching for the suspects.

In times where the “Stop Snitching” creed controls Black neighborhoods all across the country, this group is helping to bring criminals to justice through anonymity.

    I encourage snitching too when someone is committing a senseless crime.

    I gives a damn what the “streets” think… What if it was your family member being violated by some dumbass?

    I am VERY sure anyone would want the name of the person who did it.

    Cheeeeze!! It’s about time. I’ve been telling people forever that the only way to protect your neighborhood and save the black community is to stand up against the thugs who try to intimidate with their threats instead of standing silent out of fear of retribution. It’s a shame that so many people have to live among thieves who they know have committed heinous crimes but are afraid to speak up about. Imagine the woman whose son was shot or daughter was attacked by the very same thugs who stand on her corner and she has to walk by them every day coming home from work, knowing full well these are the guilty punks but no one else will come forward and speak up against them. That only happens in the ‘hood. Whites have no problem informing the police what happened. They may be snitches but they don’t let thugs and drug dealers run their communities. Not saying they don’t have their own problems but they’re more willing to risk their lives to have a safe community than we are. I can say that because I used to live in the suburbs and townships around lots of whites. They tend to stick together more as far as welfare of their community because they worry about property value and family safety. Those who hide behind the “Stop Snitching” slogan are cowards who are either committing the crimes or are too afraid to admit they fear for their lives if they talk about what they saw. And that’s why they live in neighborhoods that are more like prisons than communities.

    People NEED to snitch, especially when folks are commiting ridiculously heinous crimes, such as raping a 90 yr old woman. What did that lady do to deserve to be violated in such a way? Even if they chose to rob her, why did they have to rape her, to add insult to injury?

    That is someone’s family member; mother, grandmother and if these guys did it to her, what is to stop them from doing it your family member. All that no snitching is what cowards encourage. They are bold enough to commit a crime but not willing to stand up like a man an accept the punishment, ridicule and shame that often comes along with it.

    To not say something, is to give up your power to the criminals and thereby enabling them to continue to wreak havoc and do whatever they please to whomever because folks to scared to speak up, or think they will be labeled or judged for doing the right thing. To not say anything makes you just as guilty of the crime as the one commiting it. To not say anything makes you an accessory.

    If we as ppl bonded together; took a stand and spoke up, criminals would not have free reign over neighborhoods. They would probably think twice before commiting a crime because they know there would be consequences. To get something you never had, sometimes you have to do something you haven’t done. In this case tell what you know. There would be less criminals off the street when ppl begin to cooperate with the authorities and provide information they know.

    Okay see, there’s a difference between snitching and telling. Going around raping people and thinking it’s okay is grounds to tell. If you don’t know how to use the terminology don’t use it, it confuses people.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/OLMEC_313/ OLMEC_313

    SNITCHING is a term reserved for members of the crimminal community who commit a crime or know of the commission of a crime and report it to the police for their personal benefit. Since when is a law abiding citizen a snitch because they rightfully report a crime ?!?!
    Our community is so infected with the so called “hood mentality” that a lot of us don’t know which way is up and invent new terms and thought paradigms in order to appease the diseased elements that are destroying our African american heritage, The exact element that caused our downfall back in the motherland. STAN_VINYL has the right attitude about “Not giving a damn what the streets think” . In fact “The Streets” is really idolatry and would be personified in the form of a statue with a proper name and worshipped as a god a couple of thousand years back. Blessings to the “300″ and their families and destruction to the satanic crimminal and racist forces that plauge the down to earth God fearing black folk worldwide.

    Funny how criminals tell people not to snitch. Yet the same criminals who get caught want to snitch on other people to lessen their jail system. My cousin is serving federal time, more years for not snitching. tells me the fed system is full a snitches. Citizens need to stand up and stop living in fear. Gather as a community, stand, and fight for your area.

    Criminals as small in number as they might be, tells the rest of the people not to snitch and the rest of the people been stupid or scared of this little numbered gangs don’t actually point out the cuprits even if though they know them (snitching) when their respective family, friends or innocent neighbours are killed, raped or robbed. This law only applies in the united states among black americans however, making the rest of the black world look bad.
    I am glad a few sensible people using their brains have the decided to take a positive action. I hope the rest will tag along and get rid of these so called (l)iggers(n) for good. Maybe another positive way of making this change is by banning all rap music that showcases crimes and glorifies No Snitching. Infact, all gangster related music should be ban for good.

    First, let’s get one thing straight, and let’s be clear: “Snitching” refers to criminals, and it is a code of criminals period! You can’t be a “snitch” if you are a law abiding citizen that is informing the paid law enforcement about the crimes in your community. A criminal becomes a “snitch” because he/she is living a lifestyle outside of the law, and the understanding is that they should have embraced their criminal lifestyles, and will handle all issues in the streets. That’s a perfect world scenario, but in actually, the very criminals that tell you to ” stop snitching” are snitching every day to reduce their time in jail. So the main group of people, (the criminals) that say every inner city resident should honor their code will violate that “no snitching” code, and think nothing of it! (There is no honor amongst theives) Residents should let law enforcement know everything these damn fools that are destroying our community are doing, and be proud of it!

    A fool in the latino side of Philly got beat down for assaulting a girl before the cops got the neighbors off him. One their own messed up & got served by their own. That’s how we used to do it and how need to do it now.

    I think we all choose to do what we feel is right. Some people think any form of snitching is wrong. I have my biases as to what I will and wont do. If you raping women and children and if I won’t handle you myself then your azz will be snitched on. Drug dealing snitching not my style. It is all situational.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/NikaBoo579/ NikaBoo579

    Some members of the community don’t “SNITCH” because criminals retaliate or seek revenge. People are scared to come forward. We need to protect each other. Nobody wants to live everyday fearing for their lives.

    Most snitches snitch because they got caught breaking the law. The police aren’t stupid they know what they are doing. They are not pressing charges against those caught because they use them to get to the bigger fish. It’s all sick and a shame. If you did the time, you should do the crime. I am glad that these group of people went above and beyond the law for their community. However, I am from Chicago and relocated to Orlando. I don’t sell drugs and don’t own weapons however, I am in aggreance with what someone else posted. It all depends on the crime. I hate watching the first 48 and they want people (witnesses) to snitch. Hell, I’m not a crime solver, if I wanted to solve crimes I would have applied for a job with the police department. I am not putting my family at risk for these punks to come seeking revenge against my Mom or children. I lived in the hood. It’s not just about snitching, you have to go to court and testify against these people too. It’s all on the court docs. They aren’t going to relocate or protect you. I just stay away from all the madness and keep to self. But if you come my way with the B.S. come hook or crook, b***h u dead.

    Some Black folks use the term ” Snitching like some White folks use the term “Racism” and

    neither one knows what the hell there talkin bout..Let me school some of yaw..When you

    call downtown to report a mother who ‘s on social service and works a little on the side, thats

    “Snitching” mind your business..When you call the popo cause someone in your community is

    victimizing women, childern and the elderly ………You have the right and the obligation to

    stand up and protect yourself and your neighborhood..Now if you have a problem with

    what I just said………..Then I guess Yo ! @ss ! Is part of the problem.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/walijan/ walijan

    MsClassAct09 respectfully,

    you and others like you are part of the problem. I live in Atlanta and witnessed a murder [it was a walk up shooting at a bus stop, and a black on black crime].
    Did I try to get all hero and stop it? No! As soon as I saw the muzzle flash I turned and ran like everybody else, and the shooter got away. But I and a bunch of people came back phoning 911. As police and ambulance came, and while crime scene tape was going up, you could hear the chatter amongst others who were at the stop at the time of the shooting as to what they saw [most were SUPPOSEDLY young, strong black men].
    When the police were trying to get statements, the responses were mostly “…this is what I saw….. but I ain’t givin’ my name or anything else because I don’t want to get involved.”
    Disgusting! I and a sister [who had a child with her and was now late for work] were the only ones who would give detailed descriptions of what we saw.
    While at the station, we heard that the shooting was probably drug or gang related and the victim was a known dealer.
    Now, I hate black folks who make the rest of us look bad! And the brother probably got what he deserved! But coming forward as a witness was the right thing to do. If you don’t then you deserve to experience the chaos and madness around you.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MrKingA313/ MrKingA313

    TallPaul: Don’t get me wrong, Detroit is messed up but it’s not like the media portrays it. Almost every majority black city has high crime, murder rates, etc. The city has some beauty to it but also some ugly but that’s just the politics of the system. Born and raised in the D and I still stay here so I can tell you first hand don’t just listen to what’s on TV. It’s a lot of positive, educated people from this city that are doing big things here or elsewhere but if you don’t stay here you won;t know it.

    The “Stop Snitching” creed is bs, this is another tool to keep crime rates so high because they are making you think it’s wrong to do the right thing. These 3 guys are happy that the police found them first because what they did was sick.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/NEWMAN2341/ NEWMAN2341

    If only a national movement would get under way to let the predators of Black people know “enough is enough”. All the police this/that in the world, should not stop those who would kill their own kind find sanctuary within our communities. As far as I’m concerned, any Black that harms another is an ENEMY OF THE STATE OF BLACK PEOPLE!!!!! They are worse than the Klan!!If a four-legged beast is rabid and walking around our neighborhood attacking us, we’d get rid of it with no thought. What’s the difference if it’s two-legged/shows the same lack of caring/responsibility? Like my Pops use to say, black snake, white snake, it doesn’t matter the skin color, you take the bast**ds head off because its a snake.

    Hi; I think that there r certain values that blacks need 2 get back 2 adopting as part of culture, norms , behavior. We need 2 have a set of “proper’ standards , or codes we need 2 adhere 2.If there is a crime committed in ur neighborhood , Why do we minorites remain silent ? (ironic, huh) If someone committs a crime and u report the criminal behavior , How r u a snitch ? You r doing ur civic duty! You need a set of responsible behaviors that set the tone 4 ur neighborhood. The criminal loves when ignorant blacks uphold these “don’t talk 2 the police” or ‘snitches get stitches”. Think people , Who benefits when u uphold these ridiculous “codes” ? People , Take back the streets, Neighborhoods , from the criminals who will think twice if they know that the neighborhoods r not onlu watching , but will report them 2 the police and stop these criminals from taking over our neighborhoods. Thank you.

    I wish black people here in Chicago would encourage snitching to catch these pu$$y gang members killing our innocent children and love ones. These 3 teens are sick as hell for raping a 90 YO woman, wait, ALL rapists are sickos no matter what age the victim who they rape is!

    I must had beenin the twilight zone, because this is the first time hearing of the rape of a 90 yr old elderly woman by three teens. What the hell could these punks been thinking? Just when you think that you had heard the worst thing that one could do to another, something vile as this pops up. How can animals such as these idiots be born! yes i said ANIMALS because i can’t see any human beings doing something like these three sick azzes did to a woman who could’ve been their grand grand grandmother, I hope that they spend the rest of their natural lifes in prison thinking of what they did. More than likely they will spend their time in solitary confinement to keep their azzes from getting the street justice that so many wish that they could be part of and they will know that babies and the elderly is untouchable ever!!

    If That’s What You Want To Call It, But Don’t Be Hypocrites About. How Is It That The DARKSIDE Can So Called Informed It’s People For The Wrong Reasons, That Is Solely Personal And Worldly Gain Of What The LIGHTSIDE Is Doing But, The LIGHTSIDE Can’t Do The Same Thing For The RIGHT REASONs, That Is The GREATER GOOD To It’s People?

    The LIGHTSIDE Needs To Stop Being Wrongly Manipulated By The Darkside In Not TESTIFYING For CONSCIENCE Sake And For The Sake Of The COMMUNITY / CULTURE And Thus For The Sake Of The GREATER GOOD, Which Is Not Necessarily Something Bigger Than Yourself But Smaller Than Obama Or Momma.

    The Reason Why The Darkside Don’t Won’t You To Snitch Or Testify Is Because It’s Usually Something Dirt That They’ve Gotten Themselves Caught Up In; UNDERSTAND, An HONEST Hustle Is An HONEST Hustle, But If What You’re Doing Is ULTIMATELY Destroying The CommUNITY And The MATURE And SOUND DEVELOPMENT Or EVOLUTION Or PROGRESS Of It, Then You Need To Be Putting More Of Your FAITH In GOD And LETTING HIM Instead Of The Beast In The First Place.

    Weed Is One Thing, But Murder And Rape And Robbing Schools And Children Etc Is Whole Another Thing. Black People And People In General Need To Get Back To The TRUE REASONs / PURPOSE For Us Being Here On EARTH And That To Remember Our TRUE SELVES Again, By Being FAITH To Our SOULs And TRUE To Our CONSCIENCE. GOD Gave Us A SOUL And A CONSCIENCE For A DIVINE REASON.

    We Have To Stop Fearing Death And Stand Up To The Wicked Motherhood And The Beast She Rides. It’s Either They Going To Eternal Hell With Or Without Us. As For Me And My House, We Will SERVE The LORD.

    Plus That The Mainstream Media Exacerbating That Bulls**t Campaign In The First Place By Giving It Precedence To The Fear Of It Over The VIRTUEs Of The LAW And CULTURE In The First Place.

    Black Entertainment Television And NBC To Name Two Are A Wicked Witch Hood Safe Haven For The Concocting Of Their Magic Spell On Innocent And Vulnerable Minds. BET Isn’t The Same Since Bob Johnson Stepped Down, Not That He Is So Innocent. In Order To Get On Mainstream Television And Radio, A Person Has To Sell Their Body Or Their SOULs.

    Sadly, this is what happens when the penal system becomes a part of ones culture. I’ve never understood the concept of protecting people who have made a conscious decision to devalue and destroy their own kind. I realize that this is a holdover from slavery and Jim Crow but at some point we have to remove some of these survival mechanisms because they are no longer applicable to our present condition. Anyone who has made the decision to participate in criminal behavior and join in with the other vultures who are picking at the still living body of our people DO NO DESERVE our protection. They are worse than the KKK, Skinheads, Tea Baggers, the Cops or any other group you can mention.

    They deserve our contempt and should be handed over to their masters without hesitation. Its not like you’re snitchin on a worthwhile member of our people such as (fill in the blanks as you see fit), these are amoral knuckledraggers who view you and all you’re trying to protect as something to be preyed upon. They view you and your family as suckers, lames, busters, squares etc. And wouldn’t hesitate to rob, maim, rape and kill you or your loved ones.

    They stopped being black a looooonnng time ago. They are the niggas that they say they are and we owe NOTHING to them!

    Damn shame.

    As a woman who’s family has experienced ‘ethnic cleansing’ through means of mass rape as well as the rape of our elderly family members I understand the shame, pain.

    Hell yes, snitch! Sexuality is beautiful when consensual but when rape is enacted it is deplorable. Not only for the individual trauma but for the family. I will never forget hearing my 80 year grandmother crying her heart out over the phone. I was 11 years old, I had nightmares they were coming for me for over 10 years…

    OK. I’m gonna open my big mouth one more time. If street justice were meted out more often by Black men (and any interested women), we’d see less of this kind of thuggish behavior.

    Further, if we’d stop emulating thugs or allowing our kids to emulate the damned losers (thugs), we’d see less criminal behavior. First the attitude goes to hell, then the pants go south, and the moral compass gets lost. Before we know it, the person we thought was a really cute 6-year-old with promise is a soulless beast worse than any racist who’d think of preying on us.

    Shame on us. Shame on us.

Since the blaxploitation days where Hollywood portrayed the black community full of drugs, crimes, killings and prostitution it seems black folks believed that themselves and let their communities go down. Now if we can get rid of the neural transmitter influence of these mantra like songs which tell women that pu$$y means a rang or a gucci and brothers need to murder each other we can go places and get somewhere.

Being raped is one of if not the most offensive things you would do to a person not to mention by “three” clowns. I’d hate to think of the fact that more likely than not that they did not use any form of protection, if not, she has to worry about issues concerning that…What losers! Hope they get in prison by three guys what they did to this lady.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mukeye/ mukeye

    Good thing too. And it is not snitching (with all the pejorative connotations) but doing the responsibile thing as should be expected of any community. Those who label others “snitches” are the criminals who want to terrorize and guilt communities into docility while they carry on their acts with impunity.

    It is time peole went back to the understanding that a crime against one is one against all of us. Where I am from (am Black too), if I see something, it is an obligation to say it and maybe it will help the other. That is how I recovered may stolen stuff – an anonymous call from someone approached to buy the hot items – that led the police and me to the thief and the recovery of some of the items. It has strengthened my faith that you are your brother’s keeper. It should be the same thing with the no good people who push drugs onto our children turning them into dopeheads.

    It is our responsibilty to hold each other to acount for acts that hurt us as a people.

    I am proud of what has taken place…And i wish that the term Snitching would stopped being used.
    Snitching as to my understanding…Is when a person involved in a criminal act tells or gives information about others also involved in order to gain favor or reduced punishment for their own participation in that act….Providing pertenent information or helping to solve a crime by concerned people or individuals…is as others have stated being a responsible upstanding person.

    If more emphasis was given betweeen the difference..there would’nt be such a fear of doing what’s right.

    It’s not called snitching unless you are involved with this or another crime, and had no plans of ever telling the police until as an act of cowardices you roll over for the purpose of saving your own sorry a$$.

    This seems to be an act of concern by concerned citizens who want their their streets back, and care about the safety of other citizens; especially the children and the elderly. The backs of the Black community is against the wall. It’s either this, or we can follow the words of the honorable Dr. Wolfgang Von Antoine Dodson, “Hide your kids, hide your wife……”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/greatestofthese/ greatestofthese

    Not long ago there was a question possed “Where is there intelligent discussion on Black Planet?” I would like to say right here and everywhere. With the Black Planet family numbering into the millions
    and maybe even the tens of millions, in a time when everyone is encouraged to know that they have an opinion, and furthermore are encouraged to voice such an opinion. Each of us should know there
    is the greatest amount of possibility that there would be opinions that agree, disagree, and even present abstract ideas. If indeed the elusive intelligence is possessed by any of us, doesn’t that mean
    that we have to at least accept the fact that others are entitled to have different opinions? That is unless we reach a point in time when the brave are able to prove beyond doubt, that opinion is indeed TRUE.

    So do note that snitching is indeed the act of an individual, or group of people that indeed may have culpability in some act, or scheme that is wrong, bad, or even evil, that they find that they were involved in. This is true if this was; with intent or unintentional, knowingly or unwittingly, wether it is plain and open or hidden and disguised as evil often is when it is finally discovered.

    This case seems to be easy robbing and raping a 90 yr old woman is indeed a crime in the eyes of any decent civilized person, and anyone who chooses to protect the identity of such an individual, needs to examine if they themselves are really “Civilized.” This is very true wether a person is culpable or, if they just somehow or another become aware.

    So in conclusion understand that non criminals do not squeal or snitch, they are just puting in thier two cents to maintain that condition that “We All Call a Civilized Society.” Or at least the closest thing to it. Peace.

    Here in Florida, we had a case of a little girl who was killed when some thugs open fired on the house she was sleeping in trying to send a message to some dude they were beefing with. The community came together THAT TIME and talked to the cops and the dudes were found and caught, but things are back to normal since it died down. . .back to not snitchin’.

    Once you start, keep it up.

    It’s very sad to hear about thugs raping a 90-year old lady….smh. I wonder how they would feel if it was their grandmother. these thugs don’t belong on the streets.

    If black people showed this kind of concern in black communities, a lot of crimes would be prevented.

    The “snitches get stitches” mentality is promoted by hip-hop. It’s has poisoned the youth and made them believe that you don’t identify a killer even on your death bed when you have a chance to put a killer away. What other race of people think like that but people?

    We as black people are our own worst enemy.

    I’m glad people are starting to realize the power they have. Its time for Black people to stop cowering and waiting on prayers to be answered and get things done.

    Rape on a elderly woman is messed up.

    I just don’t see what no sniching has to do with this. That was just sick.

    People die every day over this.
