Snitches End Up In Ditches Literally

Snitches end up in ditches — literally. In this case, it was a canal in the Chicago area. We dive deep into the brutal 2020 murder of Carl Gordon, a prospective member of the Dem Bastards Motorcycle Club. Accused of being a snitch and overstepping as a prospect, Gordon was executed in the basement of the Joliet chapter clubhouse on Ruby Street, wrapped in plastic, duct-taped, weighed down, and dumped in the Cal-Sag Canal where his body was later found floating.This story exposes the harsh reality inside the biker world: Everybody talks tough about "we knew what we signed up for" and "snitches get stitches," but when the heat is on, too many still flip and run their mouth — or in this case, allegedly get taken out for it. From the club president pulling the trigger to the involvement of the VP and enforcer, this case shows how fast things can go from a prospect meeting to a first-degree murder charge.Why do so many still rat when the rules are supposed to be clear? Why do lawyers sometimes let it happen? And does the old saying actually hold up in places like Joliet — the armpit of Illinois — where the game gets played for real?
