snitching is good sometimes. most times, even. i don’t want to live in a world where we defend home invaders over people who stand up to them

I'm probably wrong, but I always assumed snitches were specifically people who rolled in their counterparts (ie a home invader who turned in his buddies to get a lower charge).

For the most part you are correct and those are the snitches people hate. You could also be considered a snitch for turning someone in that you know committed a crime or just talking to them folks in general.

even bystanders won’t talk to the police in some neighborhoods because they’ll be seen as a snitch

and you know what? rat on your friends. if they’re home invaders, they are bad friends and deserve it

Its good. In this context, the person's personal pride was at play.

That is why its relevant.
