I've always heard the same thing, Babe. Pretty much all of the guys from that generation are gone. But of the old timers from Pelham Parkway that knew him, they all said the same thing: That the LaMottas were trashy, low rent people, even after they made some money.

I mean, if you've read the book, LaMotta very casually and matter of factly admits to having raped at least two women. Of course he never referred to it as rape, but just read his description of what happened.
