Gambino associate shot man four times

This mafioso's gone from fedoras to facial tattoos.

The inked-up grandson of a former Gambino family associate is wanted following a near-fatal shooting in Queens.

Robert Sasso, 33, allegedly shot his 39-year-old victim four times during a spat on a Whitestone shoreline near Boulevard St. at 2 a.m. Friday, police said. Paramedics took the victim to New York Hospital Queens, where he was listed in critical condition.

Sasso, who has tattoos on his face and neck, was accused of ordering a hit, ultimately botched, on a construction supervisor who fired him last year — but he was never charged.

He comes from a long line of mob convicts. His father did three years on gun trafficking charges, and his 79-year-old grandfather was convicted in 1992 of helping John Gotti extract payoffs from contractors.

ISIS GUY

Looks like someone drew on his face when he was asleep. The only thing missing is a shitler mustache.

Paulie, you are right- he looks like a terrorist radical except that the tattoos depict $$$$$

Lowlife white trash thug. This is about as mob connected as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

He's not a mafia ssociate, the subject title is misleading, and judging from the tats that's on his neck I would say he's probably a blood

Yeah I'd agree he's got to be a blood member to have the "SMM" tat on his face

I thought that stands for "Sucks Many Men"?

LOL Moe!

Sorry coked up bastard. No wonder the mob is going down the drain. the mob will be brought to their knees cause of the younger generation like this.

The only way Robert Sasso will bring the mob to their knees is if they go down on him, because Sassy boy likes receiving as much as he likes giving.

And I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon.

Yeah he does really look like the token white guy in an all-black gang

Is it me or is it becoming a trend with the kids to have these beards and look like muslims ???

Over a decade ago, the only people with tattoos were bikers, sailors and social outcasts. Now every Tom, Dick and Harry has one. It's sheep mentality.

I don't know about the NBA or NFL but just over ten years ago, literally not a single professional footballer had a tattoo. Then David Beckham started getting them and in the space of approximately 5 years the majority of footballers have full sleeves - and yes - hipster Muslim beards.

It really is amusing. I wonder what the next fad will be? Getting nazi symbols carved into your forehead probably.

Good point Moe...I've also seen beautiful girls ruin themselves by getting those sleeve tattoo's...Sheep mentality...Perfect word for it !!

moe tilden good post what about all the women getting tats

moe tilden good post what about all the women getting tats

I dislike tattoos on women. I think it's unladylike. Just my opinion.

Look at Cheryl Cole (English celebrity). She got a rose garden tattooed on her ass; it covers her entire ass.

It's disgusting.

You're a few decades off. Street gang members have had tattoos since the 1980's. Tats became popular in the NBA in the late 1990's.

It is...I would never date a broad like that...Maybe a flower on the ankle or something, but nothing big...It makes them more butch like...In normal times they'd be labeled a dike !!

moe, yeah had a cup of coffee this morning, beautiful girl served me but, her arms were blue from tats, turnedmeoff,

It's repulsive. The end.

And I know I'm considered an old man here at 55. But it's nice to see that some of you younger guys have a like-minded opinion about this .

pb you got the wrong dude im 71 72 in november

pb I remember the 5os growing up in l.a. it was all about that punk mickey cohen, the dummy was all over the papers.

55 is young these days, PB. There are people even older than that getting tattoos.

I fear the day people without tattoos are a minority.

I was in the same park earlier in the day with my two very young nephews. It's a beautiful park called "Francis Lewis Park", under the Whitestone Bridge. Bocci court, great views, lots of kids, still a relatively safe neighborhood. In malba, some fire hydrants are painted green, white and red for the Italian flag. Always thought that was a nice touch. I am a little dismayed by this shooting. He looks like a despicable guy.

Sasso is suspected in 2 other shootings. One of a construction boss in midtown and one of an addict in Flushing/Whitestone. Both last year. He sort of sounds (and looks)like a serial killer more than a mobster.

To me Sasso is not even an Italian. he renounces his culture of the way he looks looking like a member of a street gang.

Easy, Botz. If he puts on a $2000 Brioni suit and kills people over money, he's STILL a disgrace to the Italian people. I'm just trying to be consistent, son .

But it's all moot anyway. Because he was born here. Just like you and me. So he's an American. Just like everyone else who's born in America.

That's a great park, Flushing. It's right up there with Astoria Park as my favorites out your way. But it's a shame that this shit has to happen .

That guy's too ugly for the mob anyway..

I know you're joking but it means Sex Money Murda, it's a blood set in the bronx, brooklyn and jersey city. they're branching out in to LI and the i-95 corridor.

Fucking ridiculous to get killed over firing a guy like this, feel bad the guy's family.

If he's a blood, why did he need a job? Couldn't he just sell drugs ?

Yeah I know any organization including the Mexican mafia and others disgraces any nationality.

You'd think he would lie low after getting away with trying to kill that guy on a jobsite last year. I guess he wants to live that gang lifestyle. I don't think it's going to end well for him.

That's an interesting movie in the making : An associate become a made member but instead of trying to rise to become a boss, he's already a 5 * General in a set of the UBN. But one can't have two loyalties in different organizations , the twist and turns in this action pack thriller. The Blood Family

Something like that would make an interesting movie. But I'd have the kid's grandfather written in as an old capo. The kid grows up with a lot of Crips or Bloods, and he decides to go that route. His family disowns him, etc.

title makes it sounds like one of those bad straight to dvd movies like anything steven seagal puts out now.

*Voiceover guy*

A kid caught in two minds. Two families. One decision. Joey Janetti is the son of a mob scion. The friend of a Bloods gangster. He is destined to be made into one family and turn his back on another. But the Gambino family won't take no...... for an answer.

David Caruso. Armand Assante. Jimmy Smits. In his debut movie role, The Game, as Dolla Makin' Playa. And Justin Timberlake as Joey Janetti.

Rated PG with mild violence and scenes of mild distress.

' if one family doesn't kill him…. the other family will'.

Nah timberlake wouldn't be caught dead in a piece of shit like this now. Replace him with John Cena and throw in ray j too for good measure.

Also i love the way your main characters name and surname have to start with the same letter cause the writers for something like this probably would come up with something generic like joey janetti straight away and then carry on doing lines off their desk.

Alright Scorsese, I grew up watching Steven Seagal
John Cena album was better than most of the mainstream crap!

@ Moe, 10+ points.

that and the red Bentley sign on his neck........

no offense to anybody that has them but I wonder if all these kids with the tatted faces and necks ever thought about what thats goin to look like 20-40 years down the road?

how the fuck do you explain to your grandchildren why your face looks kinda like an unfinished coloring book?

that was pretty awesome

completely agree with you both. Im 30 and dont have one, dont want one and think they're absolutely disgusting on women.

sal bronte......... tats take away a womens beauty, but... my god do a lot of young women have them!!!

You really think these types of people think about the future lol???

Most won't make it to meet their grand kids so don't worry .

Can you even get a no show job if you have a face tattoo?

hahaahahaha classic!

in this guys case you're probably right, but I dont know about you but I know a lot of regular younger dudes that are more than likely going to to know their grandchildren that have facial tattoos.

they certainly do.......
