the kid lost his father, sounds like a lost soul.his father was a bigger than life person to him,knew his fathers good friends killed him and lost his mind for awhile.. understandable for me.his father never made him and had no intention to do so. he loved him to much to put him in the life, bill knew he would always be in trouble with the persico's, bill jr didn't realize his father could ever be killed, the kid went into shock, and that is how he planned to avenge his father, not by murder by setting them up. he was not in the life ,for me he is not a rat.. just a heart broken child of a vicious criminal.bill made other kids cry and families greave. bill jr will never get over what he thinks is a betrayal by his fathers close friends..in that life your friends are day to day, you can be set up for reasons of greed, power, jealousy, beef over women ,maybe you have leadership skills and a future in the family.. always remember these guys are criminals not maestro's. JR needs to let it go, hard to say to someone who's father was killed. but that was the price bill SR knew he could pay once he went against his boss..a persico..JR if you read this, your father was your idol, keep him that way in your heart, he died like a real mobster,if you keep trying to unring the bell you will suffer the rest of your life..then you and your father are the biggest losers for sure. you were NOT in that life ,only your fathers son. you were not bound to avenge his death with violence..much tougher guys than you , made guys had fathers brothers killed. stayed in the life and stayed with the family that killed a loved one.. who was tougher then joe billotti. albert a. brothers did zero,we can keep making lists.. take the pressure off..be in peace kid..
