Lol if you refrain from committing crimes you won't get caught up in criminal charges so weird being a mafia sympathizers.

That's usually the DA trying to look good, and there are few LE trying to get promoted fast.

Sure. Prosecutors use their offices as career stepping stones--judgeships, law firm partnerships, corporate boards. RICO was on the books for more than a decade, but prosecutors were reluctant to use it until Giuliani won the Commission case. Then they fell all over each other bringing RICO cases against every Mafioso who failed to pay a parking ticket. After that, they went after corporate bigshots--they rolled up the CEOs of Worldcomm, Adelphia, Enron, HealthSouth. A US Attorrney who wanted his day in the sun set his sights against a friend of mine who was CEO of a very big corporation in his turf. My friend happened to be Italian, from NYC, and brash--toxic to jurors in the US Attorney''s turf. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Sent him away for four years.

What crime? He made a bet, and when a friend asked if he could help him make some he did. You call that a crime?
Did you take the time to read what happened to him? He had no record, ran a business, and stayed out of trouble. The topic is Law enforcement overdoing it. Are you insane???? He was "Committing crimes"

That's called a crime

What about stating facts is being a jerk? The dude committed a crime and got charged for it. You disagreeing with the crime or your dislike for your precious mobsters being arrested and charged for the crimes they commit doesn't matter.

Jace, I'm asking you, politely, to stop flaming other posters who disagree with you.

It's funny because it's ridiculous you're complaining about law enforcement arresting people who have committed a crime. You say they're getting out of control when really they're just doing their job. This isn't the first time you've voiced your displeasure of mobsters getting arrested and to me that makes you a mafia sympathizer. Again disagreeing with you isn't being a troll. Next time add in you only want opinions that agree with you so we avoid you getting upset.

Law enforcement gets out of control when they target a certain group. Specifically Mafia cases, although there are times when it is political. Mark Feuer, 60 years old, had no criminal record. He lived in a New York suburb and a
car dealership. He was just in front of a judge for sentencing because he helped a friend get an account with a bookmaker. That's it. Gerry (Scum) Capeci has mentioned him in columns. He had the FBI on him. He was on trail with Carmelo Polito (Who they also seem to be over doing it on) Polito did say he wanted to hurt a guy who would not pay him his money, but for that and bookmaking he will get 3 years. Mark Feuer is alongside him as a defendant, and threw a fit (According to Capici) I don't blame Mark Feuer. He was forced to plead guilty to 'Facilitating gambling." All he did was help set up an account with his bookie for friend, now he is on the governments Organized Crime list and going to prison for a few months. Polito, who once did time for a murder he was innocent of will get 3 years for gambling. Mark Feuer had no part in running the gambling. He helped friend put bets in, he now he goes to prison.

LC330, he did not do a favor for a mafia figure, he helped a friend place a bet. There is no mention of th refrained being a mafia figure, the bookie is said to be one. If you help a friend place a bet you shook not be put through the wringer like he was. Now he may have to go to prison. I have to keep repeating it, so I will. He had no record, had no mob affiliation other than being a gambler.

Hey Turnbull! Always enjoyed discussions with you in the Godfather thread. I’m fine with disagreeing with a point in fact it makes for better discussion as long as it’s civil.

What an ass kisser, Of course, you have trolled me for a few yers on here, while Turnbull turns a blind eye, so I can understand why you suck up to him.

In other words he committed a crime and is now being punished. It's how it works. If he's adamant he didn't commit a crime and is in fact being framed he could've went to trial and fought the charges but of course he didn't.
