Title: What do you do when...
Post by: Takun on October 24, 2008, 01:50:18 PM
Three huge black dudes apporach you at lunch and tell you that unless you give them a doller on Monday they will beat your *insert your imagination here* until you can't see *insert word* straight?

OVER A DOLLER.

Then I'd be a narc. Im no narc. So that won't work.

You'd be a "government agent or detective charged with the enforcement of laws restricting the use of narcotics"?

If given a choice between being beat senseless and not beat senseless, I would rather take the route where I do not get beat senseless. In this case, being the 'narc'. If someone threatens you anywhere you have a right to ask help from others, it is probably the only way you can keep yourself free of injury.

What else do you expect us to say?

They won't do it, they're black-- not hispanic.

Narc, as in slang for snitch. I suppose Im just wondering weather or not to give them the doller, or to keep my self respect and not do it.

Huzzah.

Also, for future reference, it's spelled, "dollar".

It sounds to me like you value your dignity over your life. I'm not saying whether it's right or wrong, but in my personal opinion, people who call you a snitch for telling on people who are threatening your well-being are, to put it bluntly, fools. I question the character of those who chastise others who are protecting themselves.

I think I got my answer. Thanks for the advice all. ;D

On Monday, you should ask them why they need the dollar so badly and if it's really important enough to warrant a beating if they don't get it. It's only a dollar, after all.

I'd take a dollar along just to be safe, though.

Guys who threaten you rarely take questions.

Hence bringing the dollar along for safety.

I wouldn't give them the dollar. You seriously think somebody would actually beat you up over it? They're bluffing to get what they want. They'll just keep toying with you.

Again, I got my answer. I'll post back here Monday on whatever happens.

If they beat you up at school, they're going to get in trouble anyway, so you might as well report them to principal before they can beat you up.

Yay for repeated advice!
