@younlo
[Interlude: Morgan Freeman]
A regular citizen who reports seeing a crime isn't a "snitch" or a "rat," the criminals were just sloppy
Snitches and rats are not the same thing, let me break it down to make sure y'all see what I mean
A "snitch" is someone minding other folks' business
To find information they can sell for a price or trade for some other form of compensation
A "rat" is a traitor, a conceiver, planner or physical participator
He doesn't sell secrets for power or cash, he betrays the trust of his team or his family hoping to save his own cowardly ass
The difference is, at least a snitch is human, but a rat is a fuckin' rat, period

With all due respect Mister Morgan Freeman, in case this is addressed to 6ix9ine, I think you might not understand Tekashi's reasons for "snitching/being a rat". The Nine Treys were not his "team", nor his "family", nor his "friends". They kidnapped him, beat him, robbed him and were planning to kill him. Why would someone expect "loyalty" towards this kind of "team/family/friends". Also, choosing freedom over 47 years of prison is also "human".
Thank you.
And God bless you Danny.
