For the record fellas, I don't agree with, nor do I "glorify" killings by mob guys. To me life is precious, and taking a life (any life) is very serious business indeed.

But I do think that if you are in that life, and you become a rat, then IMO you should get hit in the head! You knew the score beforehand and jumped in the pool to swim anyway. You get caught by police? Go do your time. Stand up like a man. Don't punk out and rat to save your own ass..... its called "honor" and by any normal standards most people would agree. NOBODY likes a rat, not even the FBI and prosecutors although they'll use him.

But there is a huge difference between a bookmaker, policy guy, shylock, or card and dice game operator, and a guy who wantonly kills for a living. Or worse yet, kills for the "thrill" of it. That for me is serial killer shit.

OTB, Lotto, Pick-6, legalized marijuana, payday loans, places that sell liquor, porn sites, etc etc etc., are doing today what many street guys were arrested for years ago. They were labeled "racketeers" and "gangsters" because they operated outside of society's "norms" and accepted behavior. The Volstead Act that prohibited alcohol (a stupid law), the gambling laws (stupid laws), pornography being immoral (yet today its legal) etc etc......... I find absolutely nothing wrong with ANY of the previous mentioned activities.

And obviously the U.S. government feels the exact same way. In some cases it took many decades for them to admit it, but today most of what was once "illegal" is legal. In fact the G has even stepped in to make money off of it! Its called "hypocrisy"

But a Casso? or guys like him? They are degenerates, plain and simple. And IMO there is NO way to make that right.
