snitches get stitches!

If you see something, you say something? Well, only If you want snitches to get stitches!  Someone asked me what did I think was going to happen? I felt that a system of laws and justice was written for me also. I did what most are told to do, and that is if I see a wrong report it.  I can say that as I sit here, I got stitches from the Judge in 1806 and the GLA in this case. I reported them both and walked away with the feeling of you see something you say something, and I forgot to investigate the man in the mirror.
Crime is something that happens every day, and all I hear on the news is to see something say something.  When it is a fact that if you see something, you better play blind. You see if I had done this my son would still be with us; had I just said nothing I would not be looking for any help. I have been told that at this point it does not make a difference if what was done was wrong too bad;  as I told on a judge and you do not do that.
I sit here and think about that, I think about how we talk about how we are a people of laws, and I must also think about all the people sitting in jail for falling into that fake news. I want to scream to the sky; if you see something, you look the other way. You see a child being hurt; look the other way, you see someone being killed you look the other way; you see a lawyer breaking the law you look the other way.  If you see a Judge do something wrong you walk away.
The Mayor of Chicago said to best, and that is why I can say that I respect him as a man ‘“This problem is sometimes referred to as the thin blue line,” Emanuel said. “Other times it is referred to as the code of silence. It is the tendency to ignore. It is the tendency to deny. It is the tendency in some cases to cover-up the bad actions of a colleague or colleagues.”
We have a system in place that is a joke; we have people in office that make it such.  We are not a society of laws; we are one of you see something you look the other way. I should have known better.  You do not tell who is selling drugs on the block; you do not say who has a gun in school.  As the Judge in courtroom 1806 taught me personal snitches get stitches.
I was a fool, and now I am a bigger fool to think that anything would be done to make this wrong a right.  The laws say do not kill, but killing goes on every day in the streets. I look at all the guys lock up, as they live by rules on the streets, snitches get stitches; well, in Cook County Court system they also have this rule!
I am sorry for thinking that these laws were for me, I am sorry for not looking the other way.  Someone said to me that I am a Negro with a little education; so I got caught up into thinking the American dream was for me; and for that my son must pay. Let be honest; nothing was going to happen to that judge, this case is not the first one that she did wrong, and it will not be her last as snitches get stitches.
So the next time you want to tell a young black person on these streets if you see something, say something do not forget to tell them that snitches get stitches!
