I never for the life of me will understand the cult of personality of guys like John Gotti and the Stockholm syndrome surrounding people not in that life.

Thousands of people rioting when he was found guilty; middle aged housewives holding up placards in support of him. WTF is all that about?

Something that struck me about those middle aged housewives is that they are the same kind of people that were on TV lambasting "evil" Sammy Gravano after he flipped; the sisters and wives of his victims.

You can not have your cake and eat it too. You can not support what people like John Gotti do and then go on TV and pick on the "rat".

A murderer is a murderer. I don't feel an ounce of pity for these people. Their brothers, sons and husbands were no angels either; selling drugs and corrupting Italian American youth.

Reminds me also of Henry Hill's retort when one of Spider's loved ones phoned in the Howard Stern show.

Your little angel, Spider, hung around with murderers on his own volition. WTF did you/he think would happen associating with these people?

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW! There is not enough culpability with people anymore.

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
