Sorry to hear that, Que~!! :( You know. . . it's not too late to make that trip~!!! :hammer You might just be what he needs right now~!! :upretty

a high school drop out
he now prefers to make money quickly as opposed to steadily...
it's kinda scary because he isnt very street smart......or tough...at all......
i am hoping that the cops get him before the street does.....

[Bedroomeyes]

sorry to hear that...

It may be a good thing to see him... But then.. He may have some resentment towards you because you are doing so well... I've seen it happen..

It's a hard call...

[seductive_tee]

Sorry to hear that.......:(

I know what u mean about the cops getting him before the streets.

Pray for him is all i can say.

Unfortunately I've known too many people that have been into drugs, either selling or using. My cousin just got out of jail for the umpteenth time. according to him he's changed his life around. Is your brother willing to talk to someone about what could happen to him? I have a friend that dealt drugs who has been shot and stabbed. Maybe one of them can talk to him for you. They've been able to change their lives around and do well for themselves.

And it's sad that something drastic has to happen to them in order for them to see the light.

I've never understood that either. My friend can't even walk out on the streets w/o worrying about someone from his past ready to kill him.

hmmmm

Unless he is BIG TIME. The cops actually could care less about him. Small time dealers in this area are what cops use as bait to get the top dogs. He may get arrested but it's doubtful he'll do any real time.

My neice has been dealing for 4 yrs. She was in jail for about 2 weeks in November. The cops raided her house, this is her 3rd offense. She is not in jail.

I think you need to at least TRY to talk to him. I have said a word or two to my neice of course she doesn't listen but it doesn't stop me from saying something.

Honestly his biggest concern is being taken out by a larger dealer. My neice was pistol whipped last year and her lover (yes she's gay) was stabbed by dealers who felt they were making too much money and moving in on thier business. The ONLY reason they didn't kill them both was because they were female. The guy just couldn't bring himself to kill a woman. Go figure.

Look at it this way Que, if you say something and he doesn't listen you've lost nothing. But if you say something and he does...well wouldn't it be worth it?

[que90nek]

yeah...
i know the game...
they let the piss ants go....in search of bigger fish...
i know the routine....i've seen it....the jails would be too full if they arrested EVERYBODY involved.
*time to come to greenville*

Tastey is right. You should try to talk to him. Your his brother and you care about him. That means more than a stranger saying something. I hope he sees the light before anything has to happen to him.

[HulaSista]

let us know what you said mr. que. i have a cousin who's big time out here in cali. its so bad that he got "stuff" stashed away at other folks house as back up "just in case". he even got get away cars "ready" for anything....he's been doing it for years...(at least 15...):(

[sistuhchey]

Sorry to hear this.....I'll pray for him as I do for anyone that's lost in a world of confusion....

Update:

I went to Greenville this past weekend. I had some serious discussions and talks with my bro. He was very flattered that I drove all that way just to talk to him. I think that when he first saw me...he had a HOPE that I was coming to get him.....LOL...

He was very receptive....but then ...my brother always is...he always totally understands, but when it comes to action....he is unable to carry things through. He did slip out a lie (exaggeration) or two...but that's nothing out of the ordinary.

[mystkev]

Well I'm glad that you were able to talk to him. If he was receptive he may make changes.

Have you thought about doing that? Maybe if not permanently just for awhile to try to get him to straighten out.

The fact that he was flattered shows that he does look up to you, maybe you taking him back with you is the kick in the pants he needs... maybe.

[que90nek]

if i brought him back...it would be just me and him living together!...wifey aint havent it.

i just spoke with the director of the SC youth challenge program...i am hopeful that he will do that program...it sells itself.

[swtjamaica]

You maybe the force behind your brother's success!!! he can beat this!!! but he needs your support...i'll be praying for him...and you...:)
