I'm not particularly pissed off at the thought of the gambino's decline I'm far from a mob groupie , it just pisses me off wen people who r clueless about the mob who find it easy to lay the blame for the decline of the mob at john gottis door , it's ridiculous .
I dont think anyone lays the blame for the decline of the mob at John Gotti's door.
What I do think is that he personified a transition in the mobs behaviour which played an important part in the its decline. Or at least speeding it up.
John's flashy lifestyle marked the transition from the old school to the new, and with it put the mob in homes across America and on flashed on newspaper headlines. Forcing the Feds hand to act.
So no, JG isn't solely to blame, but neither is he innocent either.
