I guess that apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Have a great time in prison Johnny boy. I hope your dance card is full.

From the article: "Federal authorities have been investigating Gotti, 44, for years, undeterred by three failed attempts starting in 2005 to convict him for allegedly ordering a 1992 attack that injured Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa."

When the mob starts whacking non mob players the long arm of the law will keep reaching for you till they grab something. Ordering a hit on our man Curtis Sliwa was pretty stupid. Im glad the Feds took this POS off the street.

Well, John Jr., “renounce” away, buddy.

There IS no statute of limitations on murder.

I’m glad the FBI still works to nab these mafiosos, but I wish they’d do something about the inner-city “gangsta” problem. When those little b@st@rds do a hit, they don’t care a bit about innocent people getting gunned down in the process.

In 1992 he would have been 28 years old. He was a precocious little bottom feeder wasn’t he?
