I don't have the impression that you're out here tripping like t, you're too much about your money. 90% of dudes really on their paper aren't out here initiating conflict; the minority 10% who solid with money but pushing for violence are real sociopaths and I don't have the impression you fall in that category...
Sometimes you go off the rails on here

you're comfortable with your guns, you got a good name where you're from, I don't know how many times you've really had to burn em out though, I do have that impression. Dudes of that cut not really caring about who holding what and what they talking bout doing...
I think I thought you were older because your daughter is so much older than mine but I didn't have my first child until I was 27, almost 28, and your daughter is like 17 right? So we closer in age than I thought (I'm 34)...
I have really strong discernment, it's fairly easy to see a conflict approaching, assess the threat level, and avoid it or handle it. But that discernment came from many experiences of front lining shyt myself, not just being around nikkas doing work, being tight with the shooters, that happened too but that discernment came from being a central player in many conflicts...
You age outta shyt and I learned most conflict I was involved in could've been avoided----->but I don't gain that perspective without the trials. The dudes who have that early in life are matured sooner than I was...
If I would've heard homeboy saying what he said its unlikely it would've illicited a response me, there's ways to check the temp without verbally confronting what was said. He wasn't really pushing the issue. And I don't have an urge to just "show a nikka" I'm not to be fukked with, it's not important to me. But to be fair I've never really been on this situation, certainly not in my 30s, and generally speaking I don't have the kind of approach that would make dudes say anything about me like New nighas acting tough...
Fasho. Yea I agree with this. I don't give off a tough nikka impression at all, I had literally just pulled up and got poured a drink. I spoke to everybody when I got there, but dawg was off to the side on some drunk shyt already so I ain't introduce myself to the nikka at the time, but nobody introduced him to me either so I kinda dismissed that part. At the same time, I don't give off the impression of a nikka to bother either. Breh was just on tip and looking for smoke. I'm the type of dude that likes to target bullies, and dude gave me that bully vibe after we had that lil exchange of words.
I legitimately HATE nikkas that try to target smaller/weaker/poor/flawed folks. I hate nikkas that reach for brownie points by fukking with dudes who they feel won't retaliate. I don't know how fear feels, so a big ass nikka running his mouth can still get punched, even if I'm 100% sure I'm finna take a L. I'll still do it in a humble manner to try my best to humble that person.
Example, a nikka got over on me on a bank scheme wayyy back in 05. I graduated in 04. I was working at Fresenius Dialysis. My man's had a nikka who would deposit 2 bands in your bank and you give him a band back. At this point, I had no idea how checks and shyt like that worked. So I put it together, get his 1000 out, and left my 1000 in the account. I go shopping, abd find out my account was froze smh. They flagged my shyt and I owed the 1000 back. Now, if breh told me it was a scam and my account would be flagged and I'd owe the 2000 back, I STILL WOULD HAVE DONE IT. Breh had no reason to tell me it was legit and the money wouldn't bounce. I would have just got my 1000 out and been good.
Back then, it took a few weeks to cancel your direct deposit, so I literally had 0$ in my pocket and had to work for free for two pay periods. Next 2 direct deposits went towards paying the 1000$ back. I was fukkin heated.
About 3 years later I'm at the club with my nikka Dobbs (my man's that rap like Fabolous/Jada/Banks) and my nikka Tito. I see breh that ran the bank scheme in the club. We chop it up, he apologizes for what happened and I tell breh it's all good. I walk up to Dobbs and Tito a few minutes later and I tell them we robbing that nikka when the club let out. Dobbs is bout that life, but we knew breh from school abd he wasn't too up about the idea, but he was down for it. Tito wasn't about shyt lol.
The whole night, I'm cool as hell with bro, we fukking with hoes together, breh brought me a drink abd put me on a chick he came to the club with. I made breh feel comfortable asf. Thru this time, Dobbs thinking like "that nikka Blake changed his mind, he ain't gone get bro now"

. AS SOON as 1:55 rolled around and that "It's Time To Go" exit song came on, I go get Dobbs and tell him it's time. Tito was nowhere to be found smh. So me and Dobbs shoot to the car to grab the strap and we go back to the front of the club. We see breh come out, he was with 2 other dudes me and Dobbs grew up with. Ironically, Dobbs had stole some basketball cards from the nikka Mike that was with bro that ran the bank scheme when they were kids

.
We followed them nikkas to their truck, I called out bro name "Yo Ronnie" (ironically, Dobbs first name is Ronald lol) "let me holla at you". I up strap, and tell bro to empty his pockets. The nikka Mike like "What the fukk Blake bro"

. The nikka Ronnie had like 670$ on him and a chain. I took the chain and the money, had Dobbs count it out, and I gave the nikka Ronnie back 200$ of the 670$ and told him this shyt ain't needed, this shyt ain't a tough man action, you got over on me and this shyt is based on principle. Period.
I see the nikka Mike on my block a few weeks later and bro told me straight up, I did that shyt how it should have been done. I guess Ronnie broke the situation down to the nikka afterwards. In like 2010, the nikka Ronnie had friend requested me on Facebook then shot me a message. Bro had been locked up for a year or 2 and was trying to make amends. He apologized in the message and told me he respected the fukk out of how I did the shyt. Literally told me if he was in a similar situation, I taught him a efficient way to handle it.
Funny shyt, I just seen him face to face at the liquor store about 3 months ago. I barely remembered his face but he joked with me in line while behind me like "bro, I'm all the way paid up ain't I"

. It took me a few seconds to realize who he was, I bussed out laughing and we chopped it up outside of the store for like a whole damn hour. Bro is actually a really good dude and he's a type of nikka I'd definitely rock with outside of just getting money.
