Friend in trouble, don't know what to do

[megagigamicro]

I'm going to be blunt, I have a friend that sold weed, all of his stuff was stolen a few days back for no reason, simply because he was selling.
Anyways, the guy that stole from him is threatening to jump him again and now my friend is in a constant state of fear.
I told him to stop selling, so he did.
But otherwise, I don't know what to tell him.
I don't want to advice him to fight, because this kid is capable of killing him, but I also don't want him to have to live in constant fear.

How can I help him, thanks.

uhhhh not go outside, travel in a pack I guess. You can't really call the cops, its over weed. So uh he's in some trouble, number one thing to do is not make enemies if your a dealer. I'd watch him.

I was scared that would be the final conclusion.

Not much you can do how old is he? The only thing i can suggest is not walk about alone and if they try to jump him all of his friends jump the others. There are other ways im thinking of but id probably get banned for suggesting them. Quick question why is this in puberty

Well you know, to be blunt and right it all could've been avoided if he wisened up. Now you just have to find a solution to this problem.

I'd say it's his own damn fault. If he wants to do illegal things, he should expect shit like this to happen.

Maybe he will learn his lesson.

Expect someone to want to kill him? Not for all illegal things, let's be a little smarter before we use broad sweeping generalizations.

I agree that he is/was an idiot, but he's in trouble so that doesn't really matter right now.

Ok, 1. If he hadn't been selling weed in the first place this would not have happened. 2. Why is this in the puberty section?

What an unnecessary thing to say (speaking to person a few posts above as well). Someone's gotta sell it.

I love it when people think they're contributing by making remarks like these. "Well if you hadn't been doing THAT none of THIS would've happened!" How incredibly helpful you are. That statement answers EVERYTHING the original post was asking.

To actually ANSWER the OP's question, I think he should definitely walk and hang out with other people all the time, never go anywhere alone. Stop selling for a while and let things die down. Good luck to him, and if anything serious happens again, just remember that what this other person is doing is much higher on the "illegal" scale than marijuana. Going to the cops is a last resort, but one that should happen before serious harm comes of your friend.

Yeah because in 1850 if I had a black man in my house I should expect to be hanged. Or modern times in Taliban-dominated Middle East, if I was a woman and wanted to go to school I should have acid thrown in my face.

People, the LAW does not define what is ACCEPTABLE. FYI, he is not being punished by the law right now, he is being punished by someone who is engaging in even more illegal acts. Your argument makes no sense.

ill say what others said
dont travel alone
be with friends constantly

honestly, if he is really very scared, id suggest maybe start carrying a knife
like one of those inexpensive Folding Knives
as far as i know, law wise, as long as its clipped to his pocket (kinfe in pocket of course) and the clip thing is showing, he can carry it just fine
but a folding knife, not like a butterfly knife.
Again, thats if he really is scared for his own safety, just a suggestion. But if he ever plans on pulling out and using the knife, he better damn well know how to use it or else bad things could happen and the enemy could end up with his knife
Usually a knife is enough to deter the person from attacking.

knife or a gun but only if its legall but would't recomend violence right away but use a knife a good big buck knife but do not stab him or gut him or any thing just for show but only if he pulls a gun on him. in other words you did not get the info to use a gun or knife or violience from me.
