the story about narking, can't even think of ratting on someone knowing you could end up dead
I remember one time when i told my teacher that a student sitting right next me that always cheats on a test. When the student found out, i was later called a snitch. I dont believe snitching is a bad thing to do when someone else is in the wrong..
ooohhh, cant wait for the dog update! 🙂
Why doesn't anybody stand up for hanmity any more first it's Obama speaking at Notre Dame in defience of life form first conception and now people just stand by while honest people teling the truth are paying the price.
stop snitchin is really a cultural thing. I have worked in an environment where someone tried to drug another employee, everyone knew and no one would tell. It is not just on the streets. Everyone refused to "snitch" but admitted to knowing.
Erica, I wanted to let you know that the mic is still on...............Im enjoying listening to the behind the scenes of 360 🙂
Oh, even in high school... there was recently a person who told the principal about kids smoking pot out in the woods and everyone wants to practically kill him now. i'm not saying its a legit threat, because i know that no one in my school (we're quite small – no gangs) would actually kill this guy, but i'm just pointing out that everyone who is a "nark" or a "snitch" pretty much at any age and any where is endangering themselves... pretty sad story.
@ Ana
Exactly ,you don't forget being told about Torture. That's why I Nancy Pelosi is telling the truth , the very rationale that you have given.
Anderson, I agree with you!
London is very disgusting after 12 pm. People act crazy and are totally out of controll.
THE CIA notes are one sided–there should be a policy that the topics discussed in a meeting with congress should require a signature by the persons in the meeting
Dump on the female =Pelosi
and the old boys just will be boys get off
Joe Johns:
Really good story & report. This has been a problems for years now. From the stories i have read, this is a sentiment all over the country (in the large cities).
The multiple murders of witnesses and jurors throughout the years is a travesty.
There needs to me more (much more) protection for people willing to be a witness (& juror) in court.
I would love to watch Ani DiFranco! Thats great. When is the interview(time and date)?
snitchin is greatly needed, but just too dangerous
oops.. for some reason erica's picture is on my post.. sorry erica
I was under the impression you had to know the person you were turning in to be a snitch.
Good Evening Anderson and Erica i don't think my post got through .
About the drunk British, I fully agree, Anderson, glad to hear your comments. I have never seen so many drunk people falling over in the streets in the evenings and then the next day, bragging about it at work!
people are just killing each other for sport. or money. or just don’t care. if this is the game of life, someone seriously needs to rewrite the rules.
David Gergen,.There is enough work that needs to be done by this new administration.I say leave the issues surrounding the old administration to,if in fact it is not affecting us today,to the historians.Tough to know though if Pelosi can be trusted.
This is atrocious, these "gangstas" are nothing but infants with guns, and they need to be treated as such. Go Congressman Cummings!!!
That's horrible crime I hear!!!!! My heart goes to his mom who murdered him.......I don't want rappers talking too much power violence, they will go to jail tonight!
I thought the swine flu was over too but then i heard on Cnn there was more cases of the flu in NYC someone fell ill .Did they close more schools ?
this stop snitchin movement is a real problem.. and needs to change.
a cellphone behind bar? is THIS contraband allowed? where is this prison?
sad that teenagers are listening to these thugs!
Anderson if you love English people and their pubs,come to Germany.You have no idea how German have fun .Come to visit cologne or my town Bonn
here in harlem you can see ppl wearing "don't snitch" t-shirts from time to time...

Good evening Anderson. You weren't going to be travelling to England anytimje soon, were you?? 🙂 You can't fault us for enjoying the suds can you?
Maureen T
A Brit now living in Canada!
i Can't tbelieve the story of the guy who went over the water fall in a kayak how is this possible?
Hey anderson.
where in london did you went out??? pubs close at 2 am not 11. at theres bunch of nice clubs,restaurants and bars on mayfear area that are not what you saw,hope on your next stop in london you get better intell on where to go.all the best
Stop snitchin' victim...so sad
Mr. Gergen
It would be nice if the politicians and the use of their time actually focused on important things yet I believe if something is brought up in which the truth needs to be found out it should be pursued to completion.People pursuing the truth and the president being able to do his job while it is going on are two different things and can be done simultaneously.
Always enjoy and appreciate Fareed Zakaria's reports.
I'll check it out, Erica. Sounds interesting.
Uh... you have an open mike. I'm hearing your conversation about drunk people and bathrooms is it? Oh, and that Anderson is a party pooper.
Erica. Now that sounds very interesting.... looking forward to it.
Sounds like AC is hitt'en all the right pubs in england. It just always seems worse the next day.
@Erica I love Peter Gabriel 's music he has done humanitarian work with amensty international .
Anderson, Erica glad to be with you tonight!
Professor David, I never saw such a wisdom! I really like your comments. I admire the way you analyze everything and keep a balance.
Anja
Hi David G.
In answer to your question, yes there should be an INDEPENDENT investigation of the Bush/Cheney administration.
There are serious allegations being made and the American people deserve to know what the people they voted for actually did.
As for me, i think it's important so that we don't make those "mistakes"
again.
Okay, Anderson, so how do you really feel about England when the pubs close?! Too funny, LOL!
I so agree with you about London... Try going to their 'Undergroud' tube station after midnight...My love for America immediately grew... LOL.
So much anger Anderson.....
Happy Friday! 😀
The GOP is trying to dicredit Nancy Pelosi i don't beleive that she knew of this ,but then again politicans are not very honest.
Re: Pelosi/CIA
Bob Graham has kept special notebooks of all events in his life for years. He even records when he woke up and what he ate, etc. He says that, in the past, the CIA said that he had been in four meetings. He said that he was in only ONE. His special notebooks proved this. In the past he was on TV with Katie Curic and she saw his notebooks. He started – I believe – when he was a teenager.
Remember the CIA lies in Iran Contra – and another Bush named George!!
Anderson!!!
You're kidding me?????? You love England!! pet peeves????? LOL! You're so funny man!!!!!! LOL! Nice!
OMG Anderson just dug a grave for himself in the UK. I can hardly wait to hear Richard Quest chime in on ACs "spin!"
I am really looking forward to the upcoming interview with Ani DiFranco. She does work with an incredible organization called WITNESS, started by Peter Gabriel. I did a story on them a few years ago.
The short decsription: WITNESS gives people cameras and other technology to document human rights abuses. People risk their lives to help others... def worth checking out.
why do the so called gangsters think saying whats right is snitching
Anderson, I've seen worse in other countries than what you've seen in the UK. Don't worry about it.
