He did come across sincere ,what i like was he did not bang his chest and play tough guy, some guys play fearless and tough, but they flipped? if they wanted to be the same old guy ,they should never have flipped no matter how much time they got.. looks like he knows he made a huge mistake flipping. they should have asked him historical questions..then threw a few names at him and tell some stories..

Everything in my mind points to galione

refreshing to see someone new.. like mikey scars... think hes one of the only people ive heard talk who has flipped that doesn't sound like a brain dead idiot... he also doesn't seem to try to come off like a tough guy.. which I heard he never was, even before he flipped.. anyone have any other good info on scars besides the typical shit?
Just a fyi-the doc is up for free on that clown s site cosanostranews.com for anyone lookin to check it out.. I just did its pretty good...and im with Dom 99% sure mikey scars claims he saw froggy galione and I thought he was free?

Anyone thats seen it already did you catch trevors intervie w the masked "current Bonnano family enforcer in S fla ..he seemed phoney to me but if hes legit what Bonnano crew in fla would he be connected to? Only one I recall is Jerry Chilis fla crew but no clue if hes locked up,whos the capo there and what not..any ideas?
"No, no, you aint alrite Spyder you got alotta fuckin problems"
just read some of scars material again. think about this .gotti sr made him with his son, SR gets pinched makes him a captain, then gives him all the construction biz to handle, has him be godfather to JR's son, offers him to be consiglieri, puts him on a murder.my thinking is gotti knew something about scars and felt he had leadership skills and loyalty to the gottis. gotti had only tough guys close to him..people who come from bensonhurst know he was a force.. he ratted and thats all we remember now.. looks like SR loved the guy.

I agree Bronx, Sr must have seen that Scars was CN. He also knew his son was a lumox and not sharp enough to run their Construction money making machinery and Union racketts. He probably wanted him to help his son and maybe some of his polish would rub off on Jr. I think he would have made been an asset as a Consiglieri to the administration. I just don't think Scars wanted to be involved in running the family with either Junior or Peter Gotti. His flipping is a mystery to me, he must have really been screwed for him to have done that when they broke him.. My two cents.

Outside of Bill Kurtis, British made docu's on the mob are so much better, no stupid dramatic music or annoying over the top narrators. There's been some great British work on the mob, that series back in the 80s which is extremely in depth, and there was one in the 90s which had a great focus on the DeMeo crew, there floating around on youtube still.

It was ok, was hoping for something a bit more in depth, Mickey scars interviews were good though
John Alite acting like he was some kind of boss though!
Next week has Ralph Natale, so that will be interesting
I agree Mikey scars wasn't bad...Alite trying to come off like a big shot and I'm only looking forward to see Natale from Philly...The philly documentaries just don't do it for me..Leonetti, Previte, that junkie guy..They're all boring !!
Anyone know when part 2 is going to be put up online to watch? Really wish it was just on mikey scars.. I don't care to hear from ego maniac alite or that fat fuck previte. I hate that guy.. From crooked cop to wannabe wiseguy, all he does is brag. Hate him.. Like I said scars comes off a lot more believable I think mainly because he doesn't think he's a tough guy, and also doesn't talk himself up.. Which makes him seem more credible..
I think the reason he flipped is because he isn't a tough guy and was scared little nicky wanted him dead..I know scars came up under paulie zack.I think mikey scars would have made a good skipper if he wasnt a pussy I've heard.he wined his way out off hitting frank hydell and he hated the little guy because nicky treated him like a faker. I think it started to fall apart for mikey when junior was boss and mike fucked blaise and lenny on trucking business.lenny fucking smacked him like a girl not a week after he got his button. Pretty embarrassing... But what can you do.. Nothing really. Kind of like the trucchio situation
Yes I agree Nicky, there is a great documentary on the Philly police and fighting the heroin epidemic with Red Rivera a kingpin in n philly
Merlino that is from documentary maker Louis Theroux, he makes brilliant stuff! The episode is called killadelphia I believe, and it usually can be found on Youtube.

Previte is real. He pulls no punches and has no qualms of what he is. He's a scumbag and he knows it and doesn't care. He isn't the typical 90's era Mob rat bullshit artist. He admits he never believed in "Omerta", wasn't in it for "the life" or "brotherhood" and only joined the Mob as a means to make money. It doesn't get any better than that.

I didn't understand how Mikey Scars was driving around New York if he's a marked man, would you really risk doing that.

Anyone else find it slightly uncomfortable when the Franzese's were eating dinner and Trevor McDonald was standing in the background watching them - probably wishing they would offer him some?
I think they could have offered him a seat at the table. It's pretty rude not to. IDK maybe they don't want the black man eating dinner with them.

They all probably had food there while the cameras weren't rolling.
That's another thing, you guys complain about questions... I'm sure that in a lot of cases, tricky questions are asked, but they don't get a response that they feel is needed, for whatever reason, so they don't put it in the documentary.
I liked it overall, I'm waiting to see what Ralph Natale has to say.

If you listen to what Alite says to his old lawyer in queens, it sounds like he still gets his haircut in Woodhaven. Clearly no fear to be had. Plus, Alite comes off like a pretty tough guy.
