Eindhoven Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 28 minutes ago, pedro01 said: Who in their right mind would publish this article, knowing the likely outcome of this information being widely known? Forget which side of the political spectrum this guy was on, he was putting himself in danger by snitching. I am not naïve enough to think he did it out of the goodness of his own heart but he did provide a valuable service in helping authorities solve serious crimes. So why would journalists touch this story? Don't they understand that it may result in his death? Talk about incitement. A Marijuana grow house is a serious crime? Looks like he did it for his own gain. Just another lowlife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nausea Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Most successful criminals are informants, look at Whitey Bulger, or at least, have an in with the police, Colin Gunn, springs to mind. No honour among thieves, as they say. Personally, I'm a bit puzzled as to how this whole thing passed me by, living, as I did, right next to the Bestwood Estate. Naivety, has it's value, I suppose. More likely, what happens in Bestwood stays in Bestwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost everyone turns when a good offer is made for a reduced sentence. True but it rather depends on who he snitched on and their contacts inside the prison. In any case I wouldn't want to be him, always looking over my shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about a person being put in a violently dangerous situation because the press has a salacious story. It's also about future informants fears that the media may out their involvement in assisting authorities. No, he put himself in that situation by being a snitch. No one forced him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need an 'amendment' to figure that out on my own. Valerie Plaime outed by Scooter Libby. Trump outing sensitive matters to russians and puts contacts in danger. This guy was not an undercover cop or spy, he isnt even really an informant. He is a criminal that decided to turn on his own for his own benefit. The media didnt out him, the prosecutor and his defense outed him, plus court transcripts. If he wanted something to be kept secret then he should have made a better agreement. its his own fault. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
