Sammy flipped and lee was still young. The situation I'm speaking about happened in the mid 90's. However when Sammy flipped Karen and Gerald didn't leave the neighborhood right away. All the guys in Sammy's crew believed Sammy was only after John, as funny as that is it allowed them to stay on staten island for awhile without being totally harassed. Gerald found out very soon that he wasn't tough without daddy
