word,that's why i despise this show,fear never changes a person for thee better,it only enforces control,reinforces this horrendous hierarchy we're forced to inhabit&survive..
Get out of here with that cac science.
The only reason you ain't flip packs and shoot nikkas in the street is cause you
feared jail time and/or the possibility of getting shot down in the street.
By them bytching the kid like that, it's a humbling experience. It done put a memory in that boy brain as bright as high noon that he is not tough. That he is not built for that realm, and he does not want to be there.
Even if he goes home and still hangs with his friends, I guarantee you he will not ever get too deep in that street life because of that glaring memory.
Having a friend get killed, or somebody getting beat up etc, changes people all the time. It brings the reality to them that they don't really want to be part of that life.
