If there is no loyalty among criminals, it's a good thing for honest people.
Of course, the fact that informants often get away with their crimes only because they agree to cooperate is a bad thing, I agree with it. But what's the point of hating "rats" NOT because they are CRIMINALS, but because they are INFORMANTS? It's as if you felt pity towards those whom they help to put in jail.

I generally agree that it makes little sense for a 19 year old Internet mobwatcher to "hate" rats from the relatively safe confines of his parents' computer room in Suburbia, USA.

I mean, it's one thing if you've lost family members to prison because of these people. But it's quite another thing when you have no life experience to speak of, and yet you "hate these rat bastards" because you've seen "Goodfellas" 150 times.

But still, like I said, this guy Paciello just rubs me the wrong way. If they found him floating in Biscayne Bay tomorrow morning, it wouldn't bother me one bit.
