Indy’s only 45 minutes from me.
Remember `Henry Hill’ (Ray Liota) from the movie `Goodfellas’ where Henry is on the stand ratting out his crew, and he says, “I don’t vote, I don’t do anything of that.”
“For us to live any other way was nuts. Uh, to us, those goody-good people who worked shitty jobs for bum paychecks and took the subway to work every day, and worried about their bills, were dead. I mean, they were suckers. They had no balls. If we wanted something, we just took it. If anyone complained twice they got hit so bad, believe me, they never complained again.”
These guys see themselves as gangsters, or `gangstas’.
As Chris Kyle’s Dad in the movie `American Sniper’ put it, there are three types of people in the world: wolves, sheepdogs and sheep.
I’ll refine it further. There are two types: those that vote and those that don’t.
I doubt these guys, perps or vics, voted.
How’s that for an answer?
Cogent and prolly true.
Our daughter recently moved back to our home town, from Indy. They lived in Irvington, but that was just too close to the eastside for my comfort. The day they got out of there was one of the happiest of my life.
