Would You Snitch to End Your Life Sentence in a Year?

4.2.20

Tekashi 6ix9ine was originally sentenced to forty-seven years in prison for racketeering, violent drug trafficking, and gang affiliation conspiracies. After how they say, “cooperating” with the authorities, and sharing with them everyone whom was involved in specific crimes, and then some, 6ix9ine got his sentence shortened to two years. While 6ix9ine was due home at the end of this year, he has asked for an early release due to the current state of Coronavirus. Being as 6ix9ine has chronic asthma that makes him vulnerable to the virus, the judge has set 6ix9ine free. He will spend four additional months on house arrest, but let’s be real, the world is serving that sentence right now.

From life in prison, to serving just seventeen months. Isn’t that something? There are so many pieces to this debate. Should prisoners be released from jail due to Coronavirus concerns? I would say, yes, if they have underlying issues such as this case. Since 6ix9ine was due out in just a few months, and since Coronavirus has more of an impact on patients with underlying issues, it makes sense they let 6ix9ine go on house arrest. This way, he will remain quarantined away from the other prisoners, and the jail no longer needs to worry about this guy’s health. If 6ix9ine did come down with the virus, he would put everyone in the prison at risk, and I do not think the prisons have the type of medical care to save their entire establishment of the virus.

Do you really cut down someone’s sentence from life, to less than two years, just for telling the truth? For this I say, no. If you do something wrong, but then you admit to it, that doesn’t make it okay. Obviously you should, and it helps, but maybe cut the sentence in half, don’t take it away completely. Tekashi admitted to helping out other game members attempt to kill a rival gang member. He also admitted that he paid the gang members to protect him. Admitting to being a part of gang, and getting himself into these situations, I do not understand how he is a free man so soon. I truly thought we would loose 6ix9ine in prison.

Will 6ix9ine change his mind and go on witness protection? I say yes. Hopefully, at least, for his own sake. I think there are a lot of dangers in walking out of this case so untouched. From forty-seven years, to less than two years. Walking out of prison without a scratch, after snitching on everyone in your own crew, in the hip-hop industry you are a part of, in the whole situation, whether or not the situation was relevant at the time. People already did not like this guy, and now they’re going to really hate him. After everything we’ve seen the past year, from Nipsey, to X, to Pop Smoke, and who knows what really happened with the Lil Peep thing, I think it is a dangerous world for 6ix9ine. Even his father released a statement saying he was worried for 6ix9ine’s safety amongst his release, hoping he would go into witness protection. Does it really make sense that he doesn’t? It is almost as if he doesn’t want witness protection, so he can go back doing gang things with his friends. Maybe it is too obviously of a target. Hopefully, we don’t wish hurt on anyone. Though, I think it would be in his best interest to have some legal protection, at least for a while.

Would you snitch to end your life sentence in a year? I guess it depends on who you are and what your situation is. I’m sure there are people that will say never, they’re no rat, that’s not how they were raised, and they’d take a charge for their family. I’m sure plenty others will say, well if I can get off this easy, see ya later, jail is not for me, I have a life to attend to. Well, hopefully none of us have to ever make that decision, so I’ll leave it there. But I do think this whole situation is absolutely insane, and I do not think Tekashi should be home so soon. However, I also don’t think he’s tough enough to truly hurt a fly. Let’s see how life after prison goes for Tekashi 6ix9ine.
