Vincent Gigante had nothing to do with it! I didn't imply otherwise.

But it would have taken an implausible amount of coincidences for Giovanelli and his cohorts not to have been involved in this murder of a cop.

They were never exonerated of murder. They were firmly believed to be guilty but the statute of limitations had run out. And they were all eventually punished under a RICO statute. Even the theories that implicate the female cop have nothing to do with the mobster's being innocent. They have to do with incompetence and negligence on her part.

I honestly don't know why you constantly turn this into a racial thing and bring The Kennedy's into it.

What the fuck do The Kennedy's have to do with mobsters killing a cop?!

I am honestly baffled here.

I could give a flying fuck about The Kennedy's but your comments are extremely tasteless regardless of that.

It seems to me you have a grudge against them because of their history going after the mob. That's your prerogative. But don't let it taint every interaction with me. I can't help what I am or who my ancestors were.

There are plenty of great Italian Americans but the Genovese Crime Family, Steven Crea, Barney Bellomo and The Basciano's aren't among them.

Now you can say you aren't a mob apologist, you can keep making crass comments about the feds and NYPD police, you can rhapsodize about "The Westside", you can call me a "boozehound", you can joke about the ex-president having his brains blown out to try and provoke me and you can make idle threats like "tread lightly". Fire away.

You have made about twenty diatribes against me now and this is the first time I have stooped to your level.

Just ignore my comments in the future if they upset you so much. It isn't hard.

And I may be morally selective for taking a hard stance on mobsters and their families - if you are referring to Massino's wife she was implicated in his crimes - and not going after The Kennedy's because of the links their father had, but you implied I was anti-semitic because of a thread I (naively) posted and apologised for.

I find that ironic considering your past comments about blacks, Irish and Latino's. Maybe your racially selective?
