We do? damn guess I'll have to watch my back from now on even if I haven't upset anyone recently

There is no requirement to be respectful.

That said.  This kid screwed up.  People, don't borrow money from your friends.  Do not be friends with people if you think they are insane.  If you do borrow money or a game, try to pay it back.  If you cannot, look to your parents for help.

Also, I wouldn't have a major problem with a guy stealing a couple games from me if I was such an ass to steal a game from him.  Going to jail for stealing a game, or in this case, being burned alive, is way too serious a punishment.  The punishment should fit the crime.  The guy should be locked up, more importantly, I hope he finds so way to pay part of the bills of the burned guy for the rest of his life.

As for "snitches get stiches," that's not my style.  Snitching for a victimless crime like drug sales is an absolutely horrible thing to do.  But someone allegedly stole a bike from an innocent father.  That is completely uncalled for.  Snitching about something like that is completely exceptable.
