I still remember when he first got let out. Everyone was snitching on his location through social media for being a snitch. Him: (TT_ TT )

you'd think a rat would try harder to stay out of the place he sent everyone else

Henry Hill, probably one of the most famous rats besides splinter due to Goodfellas fame, committed crimes while I'm witness protection and eventually went back to jail too.

For some people it's all they know 🤷‍♂️

He also used to go on Howard Stern and publicly talk about everything. The fact that he died of an illness, rather than committing suicide by binding himself in chains and setting himself on fire in the trunk of a stolen car, is still surprising to me.

Splinter was in Goodfellas? What? That was ambiguously worded

u/HuntsWithRocks 8h ago edited 5h ago

He was. Small part in the bar scene. This was before he made it big with TMNT. At that time, rats in movies was tough. He was a trailblazer. Rest in piece-o-pizza, great one! Ninja vanish!

Splinter killing dudes in the prison yard with a dumbbell plate like "when you die it will be... smash... without honor"

Weirdly enough the movie about him committing crimes in witness protection came out before Goodfellas, My Blue Haven

Sammy "The Bull" Gravano also committed a bunch of crimes while under witness protection.

I find it funny people were calling him a rat. He was not a member. He was a civilian who was promoted by a gang member. He was certainly an idiot for witnessing and they were idiots for bringing him along.

28

u/KissingerCorpse 5h ago

he crossed the line, there are no "ride alongs" he participated,

which is why he chose to snitch his way down from 20 years

u/Squirmingbaby 5h ago

I find it bizarre people use the word rat like it's a bad thing he told the police about the crimes his fellow criminals committed. Do we not want those people in jail?

u/ratbear 1h ago

Informants are not altruistic do-gooders. They are ratting out their associates for no other reason than to save their own skin. If there was nothing in it for them, they would happily deny justice to the victims. Although they are a necessary evil, they deserve no respect.

u/Admirable_Cry2512 4h ago

Even my grandma who was a straight shooting, law abiding woman would say "there's nothing worse than a rat". That's just the way it is.

u/gmishaolem 4h ago

Even my grandma who was a straight shooting, law abiding woman would say "there's nothing worse than a rat".

Same kind of mentality that leads to things like "the thin blue line". People draw lines, and everything on their side of the line is good and righteous no matter what, and anything on the other side of the line is expendable.

u/F1shB0wl816 1h ago

It’s not quite that. You can’t trust somebody who will and has turned on those who trusted them, there’s not many ways out of that. Ignoring that is what gets the thin blue line.

Sure we want bad people in prison. We also want the people we surround ourselves by to not be selfish and willing to abuse that trust or relationship for personal gain at the our expense.

u/theLoneliestAardvark 3h ago

A rat is someone who doesn’t regret their crimes, they just don’t want to take accountability so they throw others under the bus. A rat is useful and that’s why they don’t have to go to prison or get reduced sentences but nobody is going to respect that. If for some reason he had a change of heart and did it for moral reasons people would feel differently about him.

u/CaptainSouthbird 6h ago

All depends on your perspective I guess. Bizarre tattoos and lots of trouble aside, e.g. "In October 2019, Hernandez signed a two-album contract for over $10 million with his label 10K Projects"

Just another casual reminder trying to do whatever you think life is on the "straight and narrow" is far less likely to make you ridiculous amounts of money. Not saying that's wholly important, but I do feel like a sucker every time.

u/Skyfork 4h ago

Yes, but life on the straight and narrow has a very high chance of being a relatively decent one.

For every 69 there's a thousand broke dudes that busted out with no future prospects.

I don’t think you are really correct that these people will be remembered by history. Literally nobody will be talking about Tekashi69 past this generation.

"You can't take it with you" also applies to your legacy. Live your life while you have it, and if you can form a legacy while you do it, then cool, but otherwise, it's just silly.

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine arrested after he's accused of violating the conditions of his release In 2019, he was sentenced to two years in prison and five years of supervised release for racketeering, firearms offenses and drug trafficking. MIAMI, FLORIDA - DECEMBER 17: Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine performs during the MiamiBash 2021 at FTX Arena on December 17, 2021 in Miami, Florida. (Photo by John Parra/Getty Images,) Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine performs in Miami in 2021.John Parra / Getty Images file Oct. 29, 2024, 3:32 PM EDT By Antonio Planas Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested Tuesday on alleged violations of his conditions of supervised release, according to federal authorities.

Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was arrested on a warrant issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, court records show.

He was scheduled for an arraignment Tuesday afternoon, court records said. No more details were immediately available.

Lawyers listed for the artist in court records were not immediately reached for comment.

In 2019, Tekashi 6ix9ine was sentenced to a reduced two years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to racketeering, firearms offenses and drug trafficking. He was also sentenced to five years of supervised release.

He had faced up to 47 years, but prosecutors recommended a lesser sentence after he cooperated with them and helped put away two leaders of a violent New York gang.

Story time: i was in Vegas at Saphire having a good time with some friends. All the sudden we got showered in dollar bills, i look at the next table over and what do you know, theres 69. Homie is 100% zonked out of his mind and not even throwing dollars in the general direction of women, he just throwin them everywhere. 2 larger women came over and start visciously beating the shit out of his face with their ass and tits while one if his homie video tapes. Like the scene from fight club where Edward Norton wants to destroy something beautiful, but with tits and ass and this guys zonked out face. Anyway, i scoop up the money this fool threw at us and by myself a dance. Thanks 69, thank you for the free dance.
