in a way you are right about...this day and age.. either they become social media mob..or cosa nostra..his" gotti status" in his mind, o.k.s him to say and do whatever for his own ass..he held guys to the letter when he was playing boss..you can not change what his oath was..because it suits him or anyone else for that matter jr. persico did that also and help start a war, but guess who. pushed for it. john gotti sr.. as far as alite, maybe he is a scumbag, but he was the gottis scumbag forever, they didn't know what he was?? they used him for every scumbag thing he did. does anyone really think this guy ran around doing all this stuff without anyone knowing?.he was around them for decades..three sides to the story, i am looking to his book to form my own opinion..the louder jr and his washed out sister scream the more truth to it..
