How did a 10 year old get $300, presumably in cash, and wtf was he going to do with it?!
That kid is gonna be an arms dealer.
Presumably from selling weed, he had 2.8oz, probably down from a quap or half p. Now, who fronted the kid to get his start is the real question.
Glad I can go across the street and buy weed legally at a store instead of getting it off some 10 year old with a gun because it’s still illegal.
Lucky you. Kid doesn't wanna be some washed up 12yo's lick though, he needs to keep that pole on him so his opps don't catch him lacking! Understandable really.
When you put it like that, it really does make sense. Small businesses are rough.
There is a kid at my daughter's former middle school that sells nicotine vapes and weed. He must get it from his parents or an older sibling. I can't think of any other explanation.
Kid might simply be a mule for an adult buyer
That’s something I hadn’t considered.
