First, rich & poor people abuse drugs. However, the method of dealing drugs or buying/selling drugs requires communication different than going to the grocery market to buy eggs. If you don't know the slang, you don't know it. It will fly over your head. There's a lot to it & I'd rather not go into detail about it but it's different than going to the local Piggly Wiggly, i
Second, no one knows if TB did drugs or was or wasn't a CI. However, his twitter bio page is up there about handshakes ("if you know the handshake, we must be bros").
We don't know the significance of that statement TB put out there. It may be nothing? Some gang members have complicated handshakes so they recognize each other---and I hope that wasn't what TB was referencing but we don't know anything for a fact. It may be in reference to his fraternity? We just don't know, human. We just don't. Yes, I've seen gang signs thrown around but you'd have to know them & quite frankly in the pics I've seen of his bunch, they may have been just silly kids goofing around. All in all & at the end of the day, we have very little to go on as sleuthers.
IMHO, this thread has deteriorated rapidly due to very, very few updates by authorities causing many of us to offer hypothesis. Some don't view speculation or hypotheses as a positive thing so this sister will be offering zilch in that realm going forward.
