Some of you know how I feel about the whole “stop snitching” thing. It’s used as a means to allow criminals to go on conducting criminal activities in the “hoods” they claim to love. These same fools tell us that it’s selling out black people to have black criminals in jails but, apparently, it’s not selling out black people to kill or sell dope to your brothers and sisters.

Whatever.

Now, a web site along these lines has been launched. Whosarat.com, for a fee, offers subscribers a list of “snitches”. The site uses public records (sentencing documents and plea agreements) to get the names of police informants. This has judges scrambling to get access to this information limited. To date, the site lists som 4,300 informants.

This site is the brainchild of Sean Bucci, a former Boston dj who, himself, is now serving a 12-year sentence for being part of a drug ring. Bucci was convicted due, in part, to the testimony of informants.

My personal take: people are going to get killed because of this site and potential witnesses, who are already reluctant to come forward, will not do so now because their names will be splashed all over the internet. While what Bucci is doing may be legal, it is definitely intimidation and a big help to criminals in our community. Sadly, rather than trying to become a better citizen, Bucci is more interested in providing better tools for criminals.
