My name is on the article, so it's no mystery.

It's just that soap box you can't wait to jump on every time a rat or fbi agent does something that offends you. Which is just about anything they do. You glorify criminals but as soon as someone switches sides they are expected to be virtuous and without fault and somehow have to be held to a higher standard. But if they kill or steal or whatever, as long as they are not a rat, they are considered 'honorable'.

But on a positive note, you are a talented writer and I appreciate your passion although in my opinion it is misguided.

She can't be on a soap box, you take up all the space on it.

It's true though that some people (including you) are perfectly fine with crime as long as the criminals don't rat on accomplices.

It's a good story backed up by facts that many us did not have.

You're mixing up two different issues. If informants really want to turn their life around, then they should tell the truth but 99 percent of the time all they tell are lies. And if they're lying on their podcasts or blogs (and misinformation, half-truths, minimization, deflection are all forms of lies) then why wouldn't they have lied in their proffers or on the stand while testifying?

And if changing their life is their mantra - why charge people to share the errors of their ways? Why monetize videos? And actually boast about the numbers they're getting? Why sell "merch"? Are they donating the proceeds to a good cause?

My point was NOT that the informants have no fault or anything like that, I agree that for the most part they stay scumbags. What I insist on is that those criminals who don't rat aren't any better than the ones who do.

Lots of these chumps defending rats on here were more than likely the teacher's pet at school and are the boss's ass kissers and snitches at work. Birds of a feather flock together, so when you show contempt towards these rats it strikes a nerve with these mutts. I bet they volunteer to be their neighborhood crime stoppers and have 911 on speed dial. Nobody likes snitches, and speaking of being okay with crime, you're not okay with the Mafia committing crime but never mind how the government commits every crime the mob does but on a much larger scale! Hypocrites. And the "criminals" who don't rat are better than those who do, they stood up and faced the music and that's honorable! And by the way, this site is called gangsterbb.net, not bootlickerbb.net or pro-governmentbb.net or coploverbb.net. STOP GLORIFYING RATS! STOP GLORIFYING SNITCHING!

they stood up and faced the music and that's honorable!

Why are you always talking like the government and the mafia are 2 separate entities opposed to one another? The mafia wouldn't even exist without complicity in the government; and stop making things up about someone defending rats. Nobody defends them, they are scumbags to the same degree as those criminals who don't rat, whether they are the government or "normal" criminals.

Maybe you are replying to the posts without reading them? Otherwise you wouldn't have said somebody is "defending" rats or the government here.

Saying that criminals are pieces of shit isn’t the same as defending rats or the corrupt government, because they are criminals too.


NOT doing the crime is much more honorable. And, before you say anything, this should apply to the government as well.

Beides you and a handful of a few select people who does that leave as honorable?

Why are saying "a few" people? MOST of average people don't commit crimes and live normally.

That's debatable. Meanwhile back to Defendant Digest exposing John Pennisi, it was good work.

So your saying most avg people commit crimes like racketeering,murder,loan Sharking, Assault,drug trafficking etc . What delusional world are you living in?

As for the article it misses the Mark in my opinion, Pennisi has kept his head down and not involved himself in Cosa Nostra. Pennisi is in danger everytime he leaves his house,Mike Desantis,Patty Dellarusso,George Zappola etc are known murderers. Why should he be jailed when he voluntarily went to the fbi? Also if Pennisi was such a liar he would have lied and implicated them in the Michael Meldish murder instead of saying they never talked to him about it or mentioned it.....

As for the article it misses the Mark in my opinion, Pennisi has kept his head down and not involved himself in Cosa Nostra, posting on YouTube is not Indicative of involvement in Cosa Nostra or crime, and he no longer can interact w certain relatives like his sons godmother who’s Jimmy Burke’s daughter. Pennisi is in danger everytime he leaves his house,Mike Desantis,Patty Dellarusso,George Zappola etc are known murderers. Why should he be jailed when he voluntarily went to the fbi? Also if Pennisi was such a liar he would have lied and implicated them in the Michael Meldish murder instead of saying they never talked to him about it or mentioned it.....

No one is going to touch him and he knows it, stop with the danger foolishness. No one has killed Alite, Gravano, or any other rat out there, you have to know it's the same for Pennisi unless you are really delusional.

No ones going to kill Alite and them they already testified. Pennisi is testifying at upcoming trials. Your delusional....
