One time a dude shorted me 2 g's out of a quarter he sold me. He happened to be at a party I went to and I was gonna fight him, but then ended up getting kicked out peacefully by the owner (he didn't want trouble at his house).

The dude calls me up talking shit, and I'm just like well alright, guess you just gotta fight me then. I was in and out of town at college so I figured next time I saw him I'd have to take him down.

Time passes and I hear a story of how another guy I used to know ended up breaking his nose for doing similar shady things. When I heard that I let the dude of the hook and didn't worry about my beef anymore.

This guys gonna get what he has coming. Someone else is gonna whoop his ass, or he's gonna spiral into addiction, or he's gonna get charges.

My advice, is don't use violence unless you really need it to maintain your image. If you can pull of a covert op to steal from him and recover your losses, do it. If you can handle the L, don't worry about it and realize that life is going to get him and you don't need to.
