The opening line was direct. “To all you rats and snitches lucky enough to cop one of these DVD: I hope you catch AIDS in your mouth and your lip?s the first thing to die,” host Rodney “Skinny Suge” Thomas, 32, says on the notorious first “Stop Snitching” DVD, which raised national attention to the witness intimidation problem in Baltimore.

Now, Thomas and producer Rodney Bethea have appeared to up the ante, badmouthing Baltimore City State?s Attorney Patricia Jessamy in the sequel, “Stop Snitching 2.”
