And to defend myself cuz I feel the finger pointing in my direction I'm not glorifying anything joey did or ne thing I'm giving an opinion like how some ppl say gotti was a bad boss or chin and gambino were the best giving an opinion the previous poster who posted before me said where r these guys 25 years later.. and I was comparing Nicky Jr to Merlino and acorse Merlino is a tougher gangster.. for joey to beat murder raps and other charges and to do the stuff he did and basically for now get away it is crazy to me.. When Stand a tried to hit Merlino Merlino retaliated wit the expressway shooting.. Nicky Jr was in the Luchesse family and never retaliated against joey sounds like joey had him scared shitless had the scarfos on the run that's my opinion.. joey has more balls then some NY guys that's for sure.. So its my humble option halloween 89 put joey on the map. No glorification we r comparing gangsters and mafia members this is a mafia message board... ps. Dont join the mafia
