Until Dread started smoking - he was definitely feared. He wasn’t ‘tuff’ in the ‘have a row’ sense. He was CRUEL and ruthless! He couldn’t fight a lick but with a blade or firearm he’d go for the kll. When ppl would talk about how many ppl they knocked out. Dread would brag about how many people he put under dirt
