If you've read the last few chapters of the book you'll know what I'm on about.

Come to think of it, the way the character Sean Penn played in the movie justifies his destructive actions reminds me of John Gotti and his supporters.

Good Point moe. Im guessing you are talking about the favara incident in relation to mystic river. As bad as john gotti was his wife was just as bad when it came to that incident. I mean i sympathize with a parent losing a child but she went too far. Furst she beats the man with a bat while he was trying to apologize for a unfortunate accident then she basically told her husband to torture and kill this guy. Im sure gotti was planning on doing it anyway but his wife wanted it done too
