So because you heard it when you were a kid, that means it's not related to criminal activity? You had to have heard it from somewhere, and whoever you heard it from, heard it from somewhere...and the word SNITCH has been around, at LEAST since the beginning of the Italian Mafia in the U.S.
In the 1930's, Abe "Kid Twist" Reles was a hitman for Murder Inc., but he turned snitch to escape murder charges.
Joseph Valachi was a snitch in the 1960's.
Aladena "Jimmy the Weasel" Fratianno was a 1970's mafia snitch.
Raffaele Danniello and Tony Notaro were snitches in 1918.
Richard "Iceman" Kuklinski snitched on a snitch (Sammy Gravano) in 2003, but died before the trial started.
So, just because you knew what a snitch was, doesn't mean it's not related to criminal activity. It is, in fact, directly related to criminal activity and people who know a lot of shit and use it to remain free.

SO? That was added in later years, obviously. Kinda like BLING BLING!
Here's a little excerpt from the Washington Post...written by a criminal, an ex dope dealer.
"This is the true definition of a snitch: someone who commits a crime but then blames an accomplice so that he can negotiate a lighter sentence or even go free. Often he tells lies and incriminates the innocent. People like that are the real snitches and they are cowardly. Snitching is a way for criminals to game the system.
But not everyone who talks to police is a snitch. If you're a victim of a crime and you or someone you trust cooperates with them, you are not a snitch. If you try to get rid of negativity in your community, you are not "hot" or a snitch.
I blame the hip-hop industry for spreading confusion about the definition of snitching. I also understand that the artists are just trying to sell records by glorifying a criminal and prison culture they often know nothing about."
And I have a good understanding of the English language. Maybe you should study up on your history though so you can understand the roots of some of these words. Snitch used to mean NOSE, or a FILLIP ON THE NOSE.
"By 1700, snitch meant the nose itself. B.E., Gentleman, A New Dictionary of the Terms Ancient and Modern of the Canting Crew: “Snite his Snitch, Wipe his Nose, or give him a good Flap on the Face.”
By 1785, we have arrived at snitch, an informer who turns King’s or Queen’s evidence. It is thus defined in Francis Grose’s A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue."
So we see a straight line of development from a fillip on the nose to an informant. Thus, it should come as no surprise that the word nose itself had a related slang meaning: “a spy or informer, especially for the police”
Bottom line, if you turn on your people to save yourself, you're a snitch. If you're a criminal and you tell on other criminals, you're a snitch. If you're a civilian, and somebody attacks you, that's not really snitching. If a woman is raped, and she points out her attacker, would you call her a snitch? Fuck no, that's a woman that now lives in fear and wants to feel safe. If you'd say that woman is a snitch, that's some cold hearted shit.

If a muthafucka is arrested and taken in and the cops interrogate him and he decides to talk and give up some info.... who's snitching? Not the cops. If a person turns from gangsta to informant then who's snitching? Not the Federal agents.
If I kidnap someone and told them to give me info on the where abouts of there peoples and that person tells me.... whos snitching? I don't know why I'm addressing ur tricking ass anyways cuz ya so fucking corny. U ain't never been in the streets so shut yo ass up.

And I don't know why a muthafucka that's not even old enough to by LIQ & still living with his mama come off talking shit to people for no reason.
Even if I was in law enforcement what do u do ur 19 year old ass do for a living?
Let me guess....
A. A student @ a city college
B. A student @ adult school studying for ur GED
C. Working @ ur local fast food for damn near minimum wage
D. Unproductive sittin in ya mamas basement doing the Superman dance to Crank Dat
E. On Live Links alday stalking hoes cuz ur probably still a virgin.
Notice none of the options I have above don't involve anything street or criminal cuz ur corny ass aint never even J-Walked in ur entire life but run around hollering fuck snitches & fuck the cops.
Get yo lil bitch ass outta here. Ur location says Atlanta but I bet anything ur sqaure ass prolly live somewhere in South Dakota. U have no experience in life @ all. Ur moms should of took it in the ass the night u were conceived.

I would kill in vengeance for one of my immediate familiy members, if I knew who the killer was. Fuck calling the cops in that case. I would go buck nutty if it was my brother, dad or mom. But if it's a random act of violence and I don't know who the killer is personally, the killer gets away, but I'm able to indentify him, then yeah, why the fuck not give the cops some info. That's not snitching in that case, that's just trying to solve a crime that happened to an innocent person.
