Way to go Judge!!!

It isn’t even about the mob per se. It’s about gross wickedness. Violent shakedowns and trying to appear the nice guy in society.

I’ve been tracking a lot of mobsters related to the Harry rReid bribe schemes. They aren’t lovable, they are the scum of the earth.

Only 7 years in prison? Most wise guys can do 7 years standing on their heads. Even at 73 years old, it’s not enough.

The judge also scorned claims made by defense attorney Mark DeMarco regarding his client’s intense Roman Catholicism and his faith. “I don’t think Roman Catholicism takes a favorable view toward extortion,” Sullivan said, interrupting the attorney.

One of the most sickening things about the mob, and this was brought out in the widely scorned Godfather 3 movie that I loved totally, is the weakness of parish priests to the bribes in the form of big donations from the wiseguys. Then they are all buddy buddy, and the parish thinks they are great padrones.

I personally witnessed a funeral for a lethal mobster that was blocks long, cars and cars of flowers and mourners; whereas a few months later, one of the most distinguished and generous straight up patrons and great Italian-Americans—who had paid for a city park, helped hundreds of families, subsidized several city insitutions out of proceeds of his legitimate businesses like his father before him—had a funeral in the same parish attended by a couple of dozen people, and only one flower car. It made me sick.
