This is getting whacked on a whole different level.
John Alite, a former Gambino crime family enforcer-turned-mob turncoat now serving as a councilman in the sleepy New Jersey borough of Englishtown, was heckled during his first town hall meeting by a former underling of John Gotti Jr.
However, Alite didn’t have to lay a finger on his critic — 39-year-old Christopher George of Huntington, LI — as dozens of townspeople shouted him down.
George stepped up to a microphone and confirmed he once worked for “Junior” Gotti, Alite’s ex-best friend and the son of late Gambino godfather John Gotti Sr. on various media projects — including some critical of Alite, who testified against Junior in a 2008 federal racketeering trial that ended in a hung jury.
George asked Englishtown Mayor Daniel Francisco if he was “aware” of the newly appointed councilman’s “criminal activities” — only to be drowned out by the angry mob.
“Stop harassing this guy! He did what he had to do. He did his time. That’s it! Go! You don’t belong here!” one resident shouted.
“Do me a favor! Step the f–k out of here!” raged another man gesturing toward the door. “Who the f–k is this dude?”
Another told George if residents are unhappy with Alite’s March appointment they’ll have a chance to vote him out of office later this year, adding “I don’t need to listen to you badger somebody at this meeting.”
Others shouted in unison, “Go! Go! Go!” and demanded cops escort George out before he exited Borough Hall on his own.

If you follow any of the former mobsters on YouTube this will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion.
A very large majority became what they call rats.
The society, as some of us call it, was largely at fault for its own distruction. But, they taught the government well. The US government is the mob. Matter of fact, former mobsters will say that the mafia couldnt hold a candle to the US government.
“Stop harassing this guy! He did what he had to do. “
Is that the NJ mentality?
Mafia and their hit men are more honorable than most politicians. IMO.
14 years in prison doesn’t seem like much for 6 murders & assorted other crimes.
Saw the ex mobster on Fox yesterday. He has found GOD and sounded like he meant it.
Plea bargains.
RICO act really did organized crime in.
It should be used on this government.
Look at many former mob rackets that the government now controls.
Numbers racket replaced by the lottery
Bookmaking made legal
Marijuana made legal in a lot of places
Loan sharking made legal with payday loans
Yes sir.
Easy way to put it. Everything the mob used to do illegally, the government made legal and now controls.
The real mob is the NJ political system. The term “party boss” is a real term.
It isnt just NJ..Its nationwide and the worst of them are in DC.
