John Alite is a lying blowhard, yeah he looks like he's tough and he has flair but that's where the buck stops. And even if he really is tough, and he beat up and killed numerous people, at the end of the day he's still a rat. That's just the way it goes in that world. Tough guy who killed dozens of people and put even more in the hospital but later turned rat = no respect. Wimp docile gangster who never killed anyone but took all his secrets to the grave and always served his time = tons of respect. That's how it works. Alite will always be a rat, and unfortunately he will always have wannabe tough guys like Louiebynochi swinging off of his rat nut sack.
