Reply #18: Wow, so many willing to be informers over

[sabrina 1]

someone else claiming they smelled smoke. The Drug War may not have stopped the crime and the killings, but it certainly has turned ordinary people into the kind of people who told the 'authorities' who was a Jew and who wasn't in Nazi Germany. Of course, they too believed that it was their duty as 'those people' were a serious threat to their country, not just a threat to one or two people in a car. You could say that since they were indoctrinated into believing that, they had more of an excuse for being snitches than this OP who smelled a little smoke.

I always wondered what it would take to get people to turn their co-workers, neighbors, friends in.

Not much, it looks like.

Oh, for the record, there is no way I would report such a thing. I smelled plenty of pot at parties and elsewhere and it never occurred to me to turn anyone in, and btw, I have never smoked it myself. And there was no major disaster as a result of my minding my own business. What a horrible country this has become.

Funny thing, I wouldn't be surprised if the most willing to turn in this 'person' here, are the most likely to be pot smokers themselves.
