Dilly, on one hand, I somewhat agree. At least he wasn't a rat.
You know a person is pure human garbage when the best thing you can say about them is that they weren't a rat. At least that we know of.
He was a schizophrenic, psychopathic, murderer. He would cut your mother's throat in front of her children if it stood between him and anything. You respect that?
He went to prison for trying to extort a cafe owner. What if that cafe owner was you or someone you cared about? Oh right. He was just sticking up for the neighborhood and helping people out. What a great human being. He was scum of the earth.
Does anyone have any more on that particular extortion? I can't find much. Sounds like Gallo was desperate and tried to extort a straight citizen who went right to the cops.
I believe I've followed the Don's orders with this post.
