it depends on the law of a country, not mentality, if a country has good laws against organized crime there would be several turncoats, like united states or italy for example
criminals are all potential rats, in every country

It has become a strategy like Provenzano gave up Riina.

It disproves your retarded argument. Simple as that.

I don;t think anyone can take gossiping as ratting. Even getting caught talking on a tape while gossiping, or just having a discussion can happen to anyone. Ratting is one of two things: Out right Sam Gravano style ratting, or Greg Scarpa undercover ratting. It's the giving up of info on another to keep themselves out of prison or for some other sort of gain. What you refer to as Dry Snitching is what Scarpa was doing all those years.

Omerta's a total joke. The top guys just sold that b.s. on the field hands to keep them loyal. Better they do the time. You're welcome.

You can't really believe that, and you don't. Bosses have taken long sentences as have many captains. You're welcome.

Omerta. Code of silence. Haha. Hahahaha! Haaaaaa!!! You probably believe in Santa Claus, too.

They were sold out by other bosses. Read between the lines. Stop believing in fairy tales.

You just say the craziest things with no sane reason or any proof to back it up. Get a life.

U 2 should get a room.........just kiddin'

Crazy is thinking there was ever a mafia with an actual code of silence that most adhered to. What a joke.

Couldn't U2 just book a stadium?

My friend, if you're simply trolling to have a laugh then I gotta say, well done - you kept me going for awhile.

But if you're not trolling I have just one question. Why did you refuse to look at the FBI evidence I provided which blatantly shows that, no, Greg Scarpa was one of the only - if not THE only - FBI informant in the upper ranks of the Mafia and the Commission during the 1980s? Lin DeVecchio, head of the Colombo/Bonanno squad (the families with the heaviest concentrations of rats) attributed Scarpa to providing SINGULAR knowledge which was unable to be found from any other source regarding the internal structure of the Colombo Family and, at times, other families and the entire Commission.

Why do you refuse to listen to that? And why do you also refuse to provide any evidence which bolsters your claim?

I'm not trolling. I'm genuinely amused that there are grown adults who really think there was ever really a mafia with an "omerta" culture of silence. This kind of fairy tale is something you'd expect an adolescent who just watched The Godfather for the first time to believe.

He is trolling, and his only reason for being there is to get under people's skin. He succeeds. Why he does it and laughs in everyone's face is for him to answer. He makes the most outrageous statements in politics, mob talk, or general discussions repeatedly, then denies being a troll.

An example:

6 year old shot dead by police, here is OakA'sFan joking and mocking the little boy killed :

"He should have controlled his kid. Sounds like a problem in his community...."


The thread it was taken from

Not trolling at all.

The thread's title is "Question about snitching"

I'm answering. On topic. The answer is just too real for you. Sorry if I'm not feeding you the fairy tales you're used to hearing. A lot of mafia enthusiasts took the movies like The Godfather the wrong way. They're just movies. It's not really like that. It's business. Money. Crooks. And, they all work with the cops and roll on each other. Been part of the game since Lucky Luciano.

Your review of Downsizing is scattered, emotional, and all over the place. Since you're wrong most of the time, I was just advising that people probably should see the movie.

No, you are playing games. Knock it off.

Alright, Jace, let's respect the board and get back on topic, shall we? Nobody wants to read comments where we flame each other. Back to the snitching topic. That's what the thread is about.

Screw you, you are full of crap. I have had enough.

Jace, be civil. Respect the board, stay on topic, alright? I was on topic, and you started attacking me for some reason. Just discuss the topic, or go. It's that simple.

It's NOT that simple with you, Oak. You're no angel when it comes to dealing with other members here. I advised Jace to ignore you but that advice fell on deaf ears. Shame.

There was a time when taking a plea deal would've been considered ratting. Now it's the norm.

Didn't Vic Orena renounce the mob or something like that? I remember reading an article saying he became a eucharistic minister in prison.

Maybe he didn't renounce the mob but he seemed pretty desperate to get out of prison.

Him and Locascio.

I wonder if they would rat to get out of prison but they just don't have anything to offer having been inside so long and seeing as the Feds have got everyone/everything they wanted from that era.

I'm 2 stupid 2 figure out how 2 post the clapping hands emoji....but ..I'm sure alot of ppl agree on that SC!!

In retrospect, I've had my moments as no angel either ...but @ least I'll admit it..it's a 12 step thing...

Yeah i agree Moe.

Sure, let's get back on the topic of snitching.

Read the relevant quotes I took from Greg Scarpa's case file and make a response that justifies your answer. It's that simple.

Scarpa wasn't the first informant, he might've been the best up to that point but no way was he the first

Shit I've read fbi files about chicago that had informants going back to the late 60s/early 70s and their first made member to snitch in court was 2007

They all talk, man. They just do.
