You obviously have an ax to grind with this topic. I couldn't give two shits when these guys get sent up for life. You kill people, you belong in jail. Period. But to suggest that every single criminal who ever walked the earth is half-a-rat is absurd. If that's the case, why wouldn't more of them----like a Scarfo or a Persico----flip to help himself after doing twenty or so on a lifetime bid?

Now I agree that there are a lot more rats than what's made public. But to suggest that they're all rats is just too much of a blanket statement. Just my two cents. And welcome to the board, maddog .
