So was Stanfa and look at the what he did whith Previte and some of the other shit he stirred up in philly.

I’d seen John Gotti a couple of months before at a Pop Warner football game. The coach had cut his son Frankie from the starting lineup because he was overweight. John drove out to the game and raised hell about it. It was hard to believe that the coach didn’t know who John was, but he didn’t back down. He said Frankie was a good player, but he was out of shape and huffing and puffing in practice. The coach said he’d put Frankie back in, but he needed to trim down first. The coach stuck to his guns and Frankie stayed on the bench.

John was furious. He pulled me aside and said he was going to take care of that f------ coach. He was dead serious. He wanted to whack the Pop Warner football coach. I realized he was just like Dominic. He thought whacking guys was the solution to any problem.

so right. privet .i still have a problem believing he made him..anyone every say they know for sure he was made?>

Supposedly he didn't go thru the ceremony but was told he was straightened out by Stanfa. And if my memory serves me right Joey M also recognized him as made/ Maybe some othe phily guys can shed some light on this.

thank you shooter, no ceremony… equals not made..was he also a cop at one time? philly guys anyone around?

Yes, he was a cop before

maybe that's why he did not make him go through the oath,he took one as a cop and did not want him to get confused .

by the time gotti became boss gaggi had his own very serious problems. He would have bowed to gotti if he ever got out. He was a badass though, shootout w cops, control over demeo, killed a guy 12 yrs after he got beat up in a street fight. Vincent Governerva learned that nino gaggi never forgot

Gotti was amazed after his ascension that at least one captain—Anthony Gaggi, uncle of the carcase witness against Castellano—had not adapted to the new game. He learned this during a telephone call from a soldier reporting about a dispute involving a Brooklyn restaurant. Family members had just bought into it and the landlord wanted to check them out.

The soldier said Gaggi had told him to “bring” Gotti to a sitdown with the landlord and the new
partners.

“He’s under me!” Gotti shouted. “You tell him, [to] get his ass up here to see me!”

In the meantime, concerning the inquisitive landlord, Gotti told the soldier to tell Gaggi and the
others not to engage in any more “warning shit” until a sitdown. After all, people could be reasoned with.

“People ain’t stupid, they know what we are,” Gotti said. “So what are we gonna do? What, are we gonna worry about cops now?

Mob Star

Gotti was a degenerate gambler and his ego was bigger than his ability. It Guiliani had not gotten him, Casso, Chin, Marino, ...somebody would have. You don't piss on the commission rules and walk away. If he had been dealt with at the very beginning, then the damage he caused might have not happened.

retro guy im in total agreement. the man should have been dealt with and severly. there is absolutely no excuse for the damage the dog did. and his son is even more brainless.
