Anyway, as far as hitting DiLapi, he was a made guy who ran away from his responsibilities to "start a new life."
You mean, a life without crime, starting everything from the beginning like a "clean" person, not just moving his crime activities elsewhere? In this case, I disagree, I really don't understand the following quote:
Well, that'a not how it works. Fuck him.
Any criminal who genuinely wants to get out of the dirt and start a honest life is far more "honorable" than all those "stand-up" guys who do life in prison keeping their mouths shut imo. Unless I misunderstood what you said about DiLapi.
