THAT I totally agree with you on. RATS are the true scum of this world. Regardless of what they may be ratting about. A RAT IS A RAT! And good for nothing except to save their own asses by throwing other people under the bus.
Be a fucking man and go do your time if you fall. You DO NOT become a snitch. That's the true sign of a weasel! Plain and simple.
Gravano had it hard though. Gotti ordered Gravano to take the fall for the murders. Gotti told Gravano: "I'm the boss and the Gambino family needs me out on the street" and he also egotistically told Gravano: "Cosa Nostra needs John Gotti".
Everyone has got a breaking point and for Gravano it was when he was ordered to take the fall for the murders.
