I've known this guy for years. We weren't great friends but recently we had been hanging out more, hooking eachother up with bud and smoking together. He was the most reliable dealer ever, though mostly he just hooked me up with his friends shit when I wanted to buy (he only sold nicks n dimes, not a real dealer). So when my friend is looking for a pound, I knew who to go to. I ask the guy and he finds someone who has it. My friend that is buying spends a while gathering up the money but finally he got it today. So we meet up with these guys in this secluded area, just the two of us. My friend has a knife incase things go bad. We see the two other guys, one of them is my bud I've known for years, the other is the dealer w. a backpack. We go over and chit chat, then I give the money to my friend to count it out. After he counts, his friend reaches into his bag to grab the bud, and pulls out a gun. Never in my life have I been so scared. I've never even been in a fight. I was just going to hook my friend up and this is the shit I get into. He says walk away and I comply and get the fuck out of there and to my car. My friend lost a shitload of money, but I don't think he blames me for it. I didn't think a guy I was so chill with would end up setting me up like that. My friend that got ripped off wants the other guy's info though, so he and his crew can take care of it. I don't think they know how many bad people they are dealing with her, and my friend that ripped us off knows all my info. I don't want something to happen and then be retaliated on. I honestly just wanna forget everything ever happened.. I'm still scared thinking about it. I don't understand the mind of the ruthless people in the world. I never did anything to these people but be nice. There was no reason that I should have been put in a sitation like that. I'm so not violent... I don't know... I'm trying to forget it ever happened and ignore the guy that ripped me off for ever, I don't wanna say shit. I don't want me or anyone I care about to get hurt. I'm telling my guy to let it go because its not worth escalating the situation. For now I believe in karma and these guys aren't going anywhere in life. Pot money is so small anyway, they'll probably be dead, homeless, or in jail before they reach 30. Today was the most scared I've ever been in my life, and I'm still scared right now. Counseling from the city?
Holy shit thats messed up. I cant believe what the world is coming to. Smoke a bowl relax and be glad its over(hopefully). tell us if anything else happens
its one of those things, im pretty certain those guys came with the intent to hold you up, they didnt have a pound and a gun on them no way you shouldnt have gave the money up front you should have asked to see the weed, and they would have said "give us the money" and right away you should have known there is something sketchy about that. but there is no point in talking about what should have been done....people like you describe suck balls and im glad i dont deal with anyone like that, hopefully it doesnt happen again man. and hopefully your boy doesnt think you had anything to do with it
I would have told him to shoot me or give me back my money, if he we wants to go to jail for a stupid honkey then shoot me you know. if he's a real "thug" then you shoot some one, you know.... I'm white, so i hope the word honkey goes over smoothly.....
Holy fuck man thats insane. 1. I would buy a gun for further buys incase, and keep your money with a friend in your vehicle. So when you make a buy like that he has the money safe until you see the goods. Buy a glock, there not too too expensive and there great.Dont jam, fires under water. the .45 can go through some pretty thick shit and im not kiddding. I know a cop and he told me that his .45 can go through 3-4 houses. OR 2. Be smart about your buys, and dont buy in bulk right away. Never trust people. ^Recomend number 2^
thats fucked up cuz. if it were me id go and get a FOID card buy a nice little peice,fuck a glock not worth it at all, maybe even a guage. give your guy the info and sit back and see what happens, but thats just what i would do. good luck
Retaliate against your old 'buddy,' he obviously got a cut. Try getting that back at least. On a side note...the trick is to constantly think in your head what your reaction will be to unexpected circumstances in any given situation(or situational awareness in military parlance). In this case, your buyer friend knew that maybe it could get sketchy so he brought a knife, but did you two rehearse what exactly you would do in case something happened? On arriving you should immediately start breaking things down in case something goes fucked... terrain, objects, people, escape routes, etc. Apart from that, it's all about instant, extreme reaction. To hit first and fast and not be scared into stopping your beat down halfway because you're doing damage. As for your choice of weaponry, blades are impractical without training. I don't believe in guns outside a battlefield or civilian sport, but I do use a blackjack sometimes- 2lb of lead on a spring. Brass knucks are brutal too. Sorry you had to go through that shit...
Man I can see why you would want to stay out of it...but at the same time your friend is out a lot of money
This happening was really something that I couldn't even fathom. If you know a guy for that long and hes been hooking you up since summer, you don't think he'd set you up like that. I'm not going to get a gun, this is the exact shit I never wanted to get involved with. All I ever wanted was to smoke a little and have good times with my friends, not kill or be killed. I still can't believe it happened, but now I know that you can't trust anyone.
Shit like that happens all the time. Like you said you never even got into a fight so they figured from the info your friend gave them they could pull this shit on you and there wouldn't be any retaliation. These guys probably bragged about what they did so even if your friend caps there ass someone else knows what went down and they'll squeal like a pig to get you and your friend busted. A pound of weed isn't worth loosing your freedom over. Just look at it as a learning experience because you and your friend will never do a buy the same way ever again. Your not the first person to get burned and you sure aren't the last. It just sucks that we have to deal with these kind of people and have our lives put in danger because it's illegal to purchase weed. Grow your own and you'll never have to worry about that kind of shit happening ever again. So fuck those guys, what goes around comes around and sooner or later they will get whats coming to them and you and your friend will feel good about it when it does happen. Be free, be high and let the shit fly by.
Not that I'm endorsing violence, but a handgun is not the right tool for revenge. Most likely it'll get you shot. If you really want to get back at someone (and you shouldn't) get a scoped hunting rifle and do it from safe distance.
You're not alone. My buddy was robbed at gunpoint by someone we had hung out with several times. You can't trust anyone.
I think its smart that you would wanna stay outa it.... people can be pretty fucked up and can do some screwed up stuff when they are on some more intense drugs. You never know who might pay your home a visit so pelase jsut be safe.
you are a bitch if you dont try to get your money back. at least stab him. hold your friend accountable-he probably got a piece of it- if anyone would like to tell me violence is wrong, you are out of touch with reality.
just remember that money comes and goes, and if that guy had a gun, it means his affiliates have guns. Don't escalate the situation.. smoke a bowl
Totally agree with him... think about it, you can get more money but will you be able to get more blood when you have a bullet in your chest? Dont mess with these peopel if they are that crooked and you are pretty non violent. Just toke one up and get in with soem good friends/ make good weed connections so you dont have to deal with this ever again. Best wishes man.
